    Was wondering about you all the other day, wandered in but the lights were all off. Didnt want to appear to be a stalker so I slinked off out again. Sorry to hear about your Mum Mike, not an easy time no matter how expected or unexpected it is. 3 years last week since my Mum went and it still takes me by surprise when I think about phoning her and then realise she isnt there. Good to be thinking about work. Tewkesbury? Hmm, dont know much about it but yes, it sounds nice.

    Back mike....

    I also have that stomach bug that's been doing the rounds - blargh blargh...6kg is a stone (minus about 1/2 a pound)...poor girl...

    I know about these things...

    And I have another infection somewhere Mike doesn't even want to think about and despite a week of torpedos it's still coming out with green and yellow stuff...

    So sorry to hear about your Ma Mike...(((((((((((((((((((((((((mike)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

    Gas is simple.....

    Water? I have no idea as you're in a drought area...

    Phone - best buys -...I know who I'm with and they're cheap...look on here...Make sure the boys don't phone mobiles from the landline...

    So the hamster has been fried? Yum....am coming over on the batmobile tee hee (really not suggesting you fried a hamster...it's a metaphor and am just teasing)
