    Zoe - 8 oz is about 225 grams for all! Big (((((HUGS)))) for what your going thru. I think the advice given by the others is about the same as what I would give. If you ever need to rant, we are all here for you xxxxxxx

    Rosepink - thanks huni. Am looking forward to new decent trainers! Ones that will last instead of the cheapies I've been buying. I buy £5 trainers from Mr T's and feel guilty!!! So nice new ones will be great!! I wasnt really looking forward to the holiday but it is sounding better each day!!!

    Got a letter yesterday from the car company offering to take the car in full and final payment. They are prepared to wipe the debt if hubby gives them back the car. I think he should go for it. We would only be about a week (if that) without a car before I get my motability car so we would manage. And hubby can go to college on his bike so no problems there! It's about half of our debt so I will be advising him to go for it when he gets back from spain. If he really wants a car, he can get his daddy to buy him one!

    I've spent a lazy couple of hours at my mums so off to make tea while the kids are playing in the bath, feed the bratz then get them off to bed!

    Must get the corner in the living room done before the morning!!!! Its all hubby's carp, 2 guitars and all his other rubbish!!!!

    speak soon xxxx

    I have a big confession, I haven't the foggiest how to work facebook, I just do what it tells me!!! But any flyfriend is myfriend!!!

    Its a cold glass of viognier here. Greenbee you will know, is that a chardonnay relation? I love viognier, but loathe chardonnay, so I will be well depressed if I discover they're related...
    Please do not confuse me with other gratefulsforhelp. x

    Well they're grapes... so they're all related :p. I'm flattered that you think I'll know :D My notes don't say anything about how they're related, but I have got:

    Key flavours - peaches, pears, nutmeg, apricot
    Food matches - crab, lobster, roast pork with rosemary
    Key characteristics - produces wines high in colour and alcohol (is that why you like it :rotfl:), intense dry white wines with distinctive aroma, 20% permitted in Cote Rotie (red wine), increasing popularity, usually a varietal, produces famous white of Condrieu in Northern Rhone (something to look out for then ;)), likes a warm climate
    Key regions - Northern Rhone, Australia, California, Languedoc-Roussillon (so that's your holidays sorted for a bit :D)

    I've hoovered and washed floors, and watered the outdoor plants. I suppose I should find my list and see whether I can claim any stars...
