Sorry to hear about your ex-work colleague passing away Orkneystar!
Well looks like OH probably won't get down tonight, so the plan is to blitz the bedroom, will go home, put some music on and get on with it! Missed the chance to get away from work an hour ago, had to drop someone off at the garage for their car - someone else volunteered so I could finish my cup of tea - think I got the wool well and truly pulled!0 -
