    Sure are catflea. We're either heading out with a bang in the next 10 minutes or so, or we're having one massive party to celebrate both Mike's birthday tomorrow and us still being here. :D

    Where are the raining frogs - I is quite disappointed :beer:

    4 jobs to apply for in York next week after I have put my assignment in. I flip between feeling confident and feeling a bit desolate!

    Howdy all... can't believe it's almost a year since we were down in Littlehampton, mingling with Mr Knowles and the crew.

    Um and wasn't it Mikes birthday last month? Or did i get that completely wrong?

    I don't think I ever knew Mike's birthday - couldn't get my head round all the dates during the discussion on birthdays.
    Mike - are you there? How are you? Is it your birthday? If not, can we do cake anyway - pleeeease?

    Sorry, I have been missing in action too. I have had a hectic few months, I rebranded my business and have set up another one which is a proper company registered at Companies House:eek: Funny, how a rebrand can have an effect - I ditched the weddings because I hated them and have stuck with the corporate events which have kicked off. I have a regular client who I do admin work for too and we had a brainstorming session after work one night and now I have this shiny new business. I have had to get my head around a new website and have been busy writing blogs and doing my own SEO work.

    No rest for the wicked here I am afraid:(

    Mike, how is your house bearing up seeing as you have been living it for nearly 12 months (I don't count the time before Nick Knowles as you living in it).? Happy Birthday too by the way - sorry I missed it.

    Hi all! It seems reports of my birthday have been exaggerated! It was April 22. But thanks to Nicca for trying to generate support for an official summer birthday as well...

    I didn't know the site had flared up again. No-one tells me anything. All is OK here on the southernmost tip. House is fine (and surprisingly tidy) and my time is spent largely trying to get myself back into the full-time workplace but I'm not quite there yet. I guess the past three years took their toll.

    Had to reply quickly when I saw the action here, but also it's the middle of the night, so back off to bed and will say something interesting tomorrow or very soon when/if I can think of something. Lovely to see some of the old faces here.
