    Hex/Toots - They are quotes from Lord DoDo!

    I really need to think about bed. I was staying up to collect DH from the station but he could be getting a taxi!
    Thanks Dusty! I think my points already go to my health insurance, but I'm sure others will find it useful.

    I can't wait for this call to be over...

    I've got a headache starting, need water, the kitchen is a tip and I have a 7am gym appointment, 8am massage and need to go to the running shop at 9am...

    Well done Soappie - enjoy your steak.....im envious! Im living off Special K and fruit!! :rotfl: My evening meal tonight was HM Pea and ham soup - I could have swapped for your steak and chips :D

    I did enjoy it, thankyou. And it happened to be in the freezer so was something bought a while ago which came into its own at the right time.

    And do you know, just after lunch today, I was so tired and was faced with the drive home that I called on several guardian angels to sit on my shoulder and watch over me for the rest of the day. If I'd known there was HM pea and ham soup just over the Severn bridge, I might just have turned right instead of left, paid the toll and turned up on your doorstep begging for a bowl of said ham and pea soup and a bed for the night...xx
