    Bet you're really looking forward to it kkk!

    You really need the break at the moment, pleased you're covered for med conditions (they won't touch mine with a barge pole, apparently, so I'm very impressed with that). You'll have to tell me which company you use, please?

    i can't wait it has been such a pooh year!!!

    It was a ballache - use the AA (will give you all the details when the stuff comes in the post) what are your med conditions? xxx

    Do you mean fruit mincemeat or meat mincemeat, I always get confuddled with them.

    Fruit! :D

    Just fill the cut-out core bit with mincemeat, wrap in foil and bake in a medium oven. They tastes yummy with lots of vanilla ice cream (much better than the Muller Yoghurt I used to have with it anyway!)

    Hope you have a fantastic time! Wish you were nearer :)

    Off on the school run shortly, then taking DS for his weekly tea out. OH is working late tonight, so not sure if we're having fireworks tonight or tomorrow, which is a shame. Working late can mean anything from 8 o'clock 'til 1 in the morning :(

    kkk - Raynauds syndrome (theoretically managed with oodles of coracten, but it's not working) and peripheral nervous system damage (treated with the lovely pregabalin, which I returned to - reluctantly - yesterday :(). Basically they won't cover anything which relates to my feet ;). I'm relatively lucky in that if I can run I can reduce the dosage of the Raynauds drugs, but it's a vicious circle as running can aggravate the nerve (and structural) problems... I got the balance right in the Summer and came off all my meds, but need to sort things out now it's colder.

    crin - can totally relate! I wrap up in fleece blankets and big socks (even to sleep!)

    Right - I'm off now! Check in later ;)

    Hope you get the prize soon wingobins

    Hope you manage to sort out travel insurance.

    I can't get ANY insurance unless I go via the stroke association and they charge the earth.
    If at first you don't succeed try, try, try again.

    My light may be on, but that doesn't always mean I am looking at the PC - I am far more likely to be cuddling or feeding Tianna atm, so please don't think I am ignoring you if I don't reply quickly :)

    Huge thanks all, had a phone call from T4 to say we've won a signed JLS cd from Ellasmommys post here

    And also had a copy of Fifa 10 for the PS3 delivered via post today, from Match of the day Magazine posted by Wingobins.
