    So hush hush that she didn't want to tell me on the phone just in case someone's listening in so she popped down. (And no - that's not paranoia!)

    Involves drugs,local business men andlocal high finance. Whilst it's not actually surprising and a lot of it's logical it's sort of gobsmacking because a load of odd little jigsaw puzzle pieces have fallen into place all of a sudden.

    Ooooh, I so wish I could say more but I can't. But I'm sitting here alternating between dropping my jaw and grinning. :silenced: :silenced:

    You are such a tease and I am dying to know more.


    I have just spent over an hour out in the street decluttering 200 slugs from the lawn into cans of salted water and looking down the main man holes with OH - felt like Auntie Mabel:rotfl:

    Good news is DH has rodded out end and we don't have a blockage - the road drains are flooded though, like I have already told them:mad:

    I am now way behind with everything here and will have to get back on the case tomorrow.

    Need to print some forms off and then I think some hand sewing and tv.

    Greenbee - what step count should I be aiming for per day?

    Triker - hugs, that is a horrid thing to happen with your job
