    jc - (((hugs))) my DS2 is also 17 so I understand what a nightmare this must be for you all. What a waste of money taking it to court. Your poor DS must be in bits worrying about it. x x

    JC thats awful that they seem to think that makes a case. Conversely my friend was mugged in the local tube station last year. it was daytime, they had CCTV and a witness in the instation florist who positively ID'd who it was - some local no mark known to him. The police would not do a darn thing.My thoughts are with you and your family.

    Wave Hello to cheese addict and BlackNarcissus :hello:
    jc

    I can't believe the case was not dropped by now, it is disgraceful.

    Good luck with the operation and we will all be crossing our fingers for you.

    So pleased you got stuff fixed :j
    I had porridge for breakfast too, chicken sandwich and fruit for lunch and made dd chicken and saute potatoes for her tea.

    DH is getting used to being at home and went out for a walk, treating DD(24) to a bite to eat as she had done some shopping.

    DD(16) pleased with new clothes that arrived today and I treated myself to a new handbag - big black buckled one (£40 reduced to £12 ) and a Donna Karan "Gold" perfume (saved £30 on it).:j Feel as if I have been really extravagant lol! Usually just spend on DDs.

    Completed and sent off another tax form for DH with photocopies of docs etc.

    Going to take some books back to the library and might just have scrambled eggs on toast later as everyone else sorted.

    Looking forward to Spring, lighter nights and getting out for walks more.

    Gentle hugs to everyone
