    <slopes back in quietly> Lincoln Christmas Market is lovely and world famous! Well it's lovely if you don't live on the doorstep of it and they close your road and the surrounding area for 5 days ...... and you have to listen to christmas songs over the PA system constantly ....... and you can't get in your favourite pubs ...... and no one will deliver anything or come and visit you as they can't get near ........ and they erect the food marquee where you walk your dogs so they are constantly hoovering up yuletide fayre etc etc Roll on the first Thursday - Sunday in December - ho ho ho! :(:(:o

    OH has his scan in the morning for his lump.

    He realised last week that his SIL works in that department, luckily she's not working tomorrow as that would have been awkward lol!

    Bonus to her working their is she should be able to get the results quicker for him.

    I want someone to teach me, I'm planning to do a course next Sept as well, in preparation for my apartment purchase.

    I did it in school for 5 years, but can't remember much as it was rather a long time ago now!
