    Great news about the job jo, thanks for volunteering for May. I'm sure an experienced, hotshot PA will take it all in her stride!

    Lovely to have you back sparkles. Brilliant on doing the first AF hols for 20 years :T

    Penelope- go you!! Well done!:)

    Maman you too - great stuff tonight.

    Holidays! I've not been good since mine. What is it about them? I seem to want to carry on when I'm home. Not good. :(

    Jo - thanks for volunteering to score. I was thinking I might volunteer to keep me focussed. Perhaps next month?
