    Jo, gorgeous dog! I want one!
    Careful... he'll be on your doorstep before you know it!

    soappie - I'll think about the passport thing later... but sounds like a great idea.

    Governor training booked for Dec/Feb/March/May/July... the courses are need don't seem to be run anywhere accessible very often :rolleyes: I'd quite like to do one a month for the next few months, but it's not feasible (and one of the important ones is the July one!). Must remember to put the dates in my work diary tomorrow.

  • Greenbee - I live very close to your work so can help with the passport form - have sent you a PM.

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.
