    Hope things are OK Hypno. Nothing worse than something kicking off at work. Definitely stay neutral and keep the jaffa cakes to yourself xx

    Ah, thanks for the jaffa cakes and chocolate.......much appreciated!

    I suspect there will be a few days like today, but not involving me, thankfully, so I will just keep well away and let the rest of them get on with it......

    I am so tired though, and my neck/shoulder are still in spasm, so will have to resort to the drugs to help me sleep tonight, then if it is no better in a day or so, I will be back off to the docs. Bah.

    Hope you have all had a good day - Hiphouse, thanks for the tip on littlewoods - will go and investigate that one!

    Thanks SH - am sore and tired, but otherwise ok. DD has just gone to put my wheat bag in the microwave for me and then I reckon I am off to try and catch up on some sleep.

    Tomorrow is another day......

    I really struggled to log in to BB this morning... I could connect to other websites (eg here) but struggled to get onto BB for over an hour - I eventually did get on but it froze... Sob!

    Hope everyone's moods are improving now...

    You were obviously not meant to get on this morning Taka

    Congrats on your great win tonight :T

    Taka - you had a good win?

    Walshy - the first week, I won precisely £1.67. Since then, I've won about £100 - just keep going.

    Hypno - sleep well xx

    I won £100! :j ty ty ty :D Seriously ... thank-you all for pointing me in the direction of BB. I am now in positive figures on B!ngo (including my loss on KJP) - tyvm! :T

    Walshy keep at it... I didn't win for 5 or so days when I joined then I won £5 then nothing for days... gl gl gl... :D

    Hypno - take care. The last thing you want is to be uncomfortable for your holiday. Can you get someone to give you a shoulder massage? That accident certainly caused problems didn't it...
