    Marru, I am very impressed that you are going to score and also do something whizzy with the stats - I'll watch with interest.
    And Honeybear I think you'll be busy in January as everyone decides to quit drinking as a new years resolution.

    I can't get over how smug and self righteous some people posting on some threads are - some are really vicious. Let's just hope they really ARE perfect because otherwise they're mighty hypocrites.

    So AF here yesterday and so far today. there is a bottle of white wine open but it is sitting at room temperature and tepid white wine is far less tempting. Also I'm still popping pills like it's going out of fashion so probably not a good combination.
    Suspect it'll be an early night and a lemsip for me!
    Trying to keep in budget.

  • 21 please GG, ta.

    Thanks for volunteering for December Marru - you've lost me with all the statistics talk, but it all sounds very impressive. :confused:

    Now I suppose I'd better set myself a challenge for December, I'll have a think and get back to you before the end of November.

    And thanks to you too, little HB, for January - don't worry it'll be a doddle, honest. Nobody will be starting off setting themselves targets of 31 and then changing throughout the month, as if we would mess you around like that :rolleyes:

    What a lovely poem, Budgie. You are a very clever budgie. :T

    Well all the Christmas trees are going up as fast as I don't know what in central Manchester now. I wish they could wait until December, but hey ho here we go on the countdown. Where are the cheapest advent calendars this year. anybody know? :money:

    Well I suppose I'd better go to bed now, another early day tomorrow - up at 6:25 and out at 7:15 am. TGIF!!!

    Night night xx
