    I'm not going to make my target this month. I think I must have a mental block when it comes to actually achieving things... :confused:

    Will try via internet access on phone or text to Fay to let you know what happens tomorrow as that would mean double figures :eek: :D

    Marru, please put me down for 10 in December :)

    My goodness 1000 days:eek:. I am soo impressed I just want to make 10 in a row (it makes me feel so pathetic!).
    Had mum & dad visiting so still drinking but reduced so slightly better than usual - but - love them to bits it's very stressful!
    Anyway onwards and upwards - Fay - sorry about your "blimp" but that's what it was - hope tour w/end with OH has made you feel better! and I know writing a thesis is a nightmare but there is always light at the end - Dr Fay !!
    Jo - well impressed with total and devious reasons for car not working (long story but I've had a few of those sort of conversations with a male colleague - they are just as devious!)
    glad to hear everyone else is almost OK (HB getting there?!)
    Anyway off to bed as have the airport trip tomorrow & quiz
    take care
