    Luc, I'm sorry to see you go but I understand why. Just don't be a stranger.

    Buffy, I've missed the problem but hugs, and please don't leave.

    LMC, yay for hubby!

    It seems a little down on here this weekend. DC is usually uplifting a little bit of relief/shared hardships but its just a little strained.

    My weekend will be quiet, we go on holiday in 2 weeks time so looking forward to that and starting to get things ready to be packed.

    Hugs to everyone and hope the mood lightens for all that are a bit down.
  • Thank you Ames; he's really happy and proud of his acheivements.

    Elliemoo - I agree the daily chat has certainly lost it's happy go lucky atompshere.

    I should be studying but I don't understand the question and the cases we've gto to select from the coursebook really don't resenate with me.

    Love to you all,

  • @ lmc - Sorry I didn't answer you yesterday, there was a fault with my internet that only got fixed this morning. The viewing went really well and I've decided I'm going to take it. The landlord was a lot older than I expected, somewhere in his 60s at a guess, but he seems really friendly. He's an academic writer so hopefully living in that kind of atmosphere will help me get my work done. I've just got to ring him up today and accept.
    @ sammy - Thanks for the tip on using hand wash to shift the mess on my car, I'll give that a go. :)
