    ....and like the addict who always falls back eventually, here I am, needing a fix of the thread.

    Have to say, was v rude / thoughtless of me to just "go" & I'm sorry; was not intended & time passed etc etc. Started re-reading recently, you have all been posting some STUFF! (or in Fay's case, smuggling it).

    Budgie, thank you so much for constantly asking where I am, wasn't even lurking for ages & was really touched to see my name still being mentioned in your posts (god you're a nag! in the best possible sense ;))

    Hmmm, will spare you the detail of my alcoholic excesses. My only afds this month being whilst on that hideous dental antibiotic you just mustn't drink with - tooth out (the af-ness not a problem - too scared to try - but as soon as finished.....)

    DD's 10th birthday wednesday; wake-up call for me blah blah etc etc; time to start over. & omg 3 weeks today I'm 50 :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Was supposed to be fighting fit for that have left it a bit late but at least my arms don't look like Madonna's :rotfl:


    Hi to you all; feels good to be back in the fold. x

    Hi you, thank you. Hope your mum's doing ok; I think you said it was a slight stroke (? hope i got that right); she may well recover completely. My mum had a v serious one at 75 & was in a wheelchair til she died 7 yrs later but even so it was incredible how she improved over the years in terms of physical (& mental) ability. Hard for you, her being distant (oh dear, Job's comforter......)

    Yes you are quite right Miss P is getting very scary :eek: and she always seemed such a sweetheart too. But as I said in an earlier post, I have a feeling she is going to be a tough cookie ;)

    You will have to give careful thought to your target and as I also have a feeling in my lime and soda that she will not tolerate any changes.

    Heavens we are all getting shaky in our boots.

    Seriously it is good to have you back it just hasn't been the same ;)

    Keep posting and stick with us kid, we will see you right. You can count on it ;)

    Lots of love xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
