mumof2~# it sounds like a man bonding thing, doing toppings together!!

Carlsb~~OH's son has has been out there for 3 tours now, spent 2 consecutive xmas plus his 21st there (pizza and a can of diet coke for his 21st b/day meal!! with a mate out the back of their pod), recently as well, we spent loads of time worrying, as he spent most of his time as 'top gun' ie the bloke you see sticking out of these armoured carriers at the top, which worried us even more, my thoughts are with you.

Hugs Cally and DD xx

Glad you went to the docs Macpep( decided to stay after all, we have our own tourer on a pitch(very basic site on a working farm(cows and sheep) but a very quiet village...no clubhouse so no nagging for money!!!) feel absoluetely shattered and don't think it would be wise to drve for 2 hours as I could just fall asleep here!!!!)

Triker, Happy Birthday xx

Valli~~ Don't go into the house, I never do if picking up ebay or freecycle stuff, I just say, I'll wait here if you don't mind, they may look at me oddly, but hey ho, it also means you don't have to spend hours chatting and making small talk, just say thank you, I must be on my way, and start to walk, wave as you go if need be.

Got a neighbour who has a dog, take that with you as well if you want. Security back up.

Cant'd do the dog thing but I will bear it in mind..

If someone gave you a present - several years ago - and you no longer have any use for it are you free to do what you like with it?

Yes, as long as you're subtle

Apart from that paperwork whilst watching even more election coverage.

Have you got to the state of despair over the state of the govenment yet?

I don't let people into my house when the come to collect either... just as important to remember! Valli - We want to know what time you leave, what time you expect to be back, and we'll worry about you while you're gone!
