    That sounds absolutely brilliant, at least if you have got an incentive, makes it all worth while, mines going to america to see Las Vegas, the crand canyon and go to San fransicio for the bridge - got the brochere ready....... thou have to keep getting the new one every yr, but its one incentive.

    Don't forget to squeeze me into the suitcase. xx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx
  • Hi Taxi,

    Just wanted to add Well Done on the figures, you're getting there.

    Hope your foot's feeling better today.

    Wowee Taxi! Those numbers have really come down - well done you!

    How's the foot? Remember, just because you CAN weight-bear on it doesn't necessarily mean that you SHOULD - so rest it! :naughty:
