    the type column and how is it entered may not be relevant as they are product related but the action, real life and double entry should give a good overall picture.

    Mabel You have really made me laugh this morning thank you. I woke up feeling really down today. I think its my 60th thats coming up. To be officially an OAP is awful. My eldest and his partner are coming up for the weekend and we are going out for a meal with other DS & DDIL tomorrow night so that will be lovely but hard when you want to loose weight.

    Hugs to everyone. Hope you all have a great day.

    Don't know! She came home one day with it al floppy and no feeling. We've left it a few months as she was getting some movement an feeling but it had to come off as she never regained the feeling in the last 3 inches at the tip. She has a little stump now :(
