    Seeing as it was my birthday yesterday I could happily do without cake for a long while yet....

    This time one year ago some of us were sitting inin a wee square (actually, more of a triangle...) [STRIKE]haphazzardly[/STRIKE] expertly building flatpack furniture...

    (Actually, this actual time a year ago, we may well have been having a wee refresher or two to wash down all that hard work.) :D

    A year ago, (not at this time of night) I was stuck in a trainning session, wishing I could help muck in.

    ... and Happy, Billie and I were, I was reliably informed later, sitting sedately in front of our computers politely answering emails from all enquirers. I don't remember very well... just one humdinger of a headache by the end of the Big Build...

    We were expertly flatpacking Nic in glorious sunshine. Happy birthday Catflea. A year ago I was receiving a screwdriver as an early birthday pressie. I was really thrilled.

    That's right miggy we were left behind with the virtual champagne and canapies weren't we!! Apparently not forgotten for one minute, but very much in the dark the whole time. Miggy you are as mad as ever and I love it you so cheer me up. Right off to lunch and will look later to see if anyone has appeared. Life is okay. Billie xx
