    Ann - when I was getting phone calls by the dozen, I started answering them saying "Who's calling?" When they identified themseles I said "Just one moment..." and went and put my phone down in another room for a few minutes. When I went back they had hung up. I varied the places where I put the phone - one day the caller had a fascinating conversation with the contents of my knicker drawer......

    Love it, Nargieblast!

    And the explanation about the name ....

    I'm on my way there Ann......and its getting closer very quickly. I always remember someone telling me that when you get to a certain age, that the time just flies by.....and they were right.!!

    When you are young, you think of retirement as being somewhere is the future, and then you get to your 40's and it fleetingly crosses your min. d Then 50 comes and you still think its not too bad......still got plenty of time..........and then 60 is just around the corner, and I now realise we don't have long left to work.......What I want to know is, where did all the time go. It only seems like yesterday that we got married and its our 39th Wedding Anniversary next week.....I can't be that old....can I ??

    I can totally identify with that, Elsie!

    39th Wedding Anniversary! What an achievement! I am sure you will be celebrating.

    And you don't look a day over 40!!!
