    Afternoon all

    Today's list done (only just!)

    Went to Cribbs this morning for a couple of bits, then back to Sainsbury's for Harry Potter and some odds and ends and then back home. Wrapped the stuff I bought so I think I'm all finished. I was probably finished before but I can never resist just one more thing....

    yes it was greenbee who dubbed him MR Toots - it just proves that most of you dont read my posts:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: he has been mentioned on several occasions since I posted my wish list - nearly always by greenbee-he has been one of my closest friends since 1999 and has supported me through my chemo- if you recall i said then I wanted to be married. well its no further forward and if I recall valli asked if he knew how I felt and yes he does. Its his birthday next week and I had hoped to have a coffee with him but since he has SF that wont be possible and maybe not before Christmas either. End of story - no further details will be available for public scrutinY:rotfl:
    How about proposing as a birthday present ;):D We'll all help :cool:
