    didn't realise you were a newbie but pleased to see you have a sense of humour and took that in the spirit in which it was intended.

    ETA actually not a newbie - just not 'overly chatty' LOL

    Mind you you could be a long time lurker and know me only too well ;)

    Have boiled the chicken carcass - lots left on and prepped the veg (carrots, onions and celery) and will come home from work to the delicious smell of home-made soup in the SC, also, if weather forecast is good, I shall be fetching in bone dry laundry...ooo lovely ironing to do on a wednesday...and its a FIVE DAY WEEKEND woot woooooot
