He is fine, and then today his BIL wrote his car off & miraculously came out of it without a scratch.
These things always come in three's so if one of you would oblige so that I can relax that would be most helpful

Aw Maty {{hugs}}.
Don't worry about things coming in threes: the third one was over in this direction though not to one of us. DS was walking down the street on his lunch break when a very nasty incident happened right behind him. Good job hospital and police are very close. DS redirected the traffic, bless him.
As for the rest of you... we haven't had a party for at least a week. Or more likely 6 months. I'm wondering if we need one. Who's up for it? I'll bring the jammy dodgers and a bottle of something.
For those who've joined Mike's thread since the glory days, we do a heck of a party, but Erme, don't bring the ratties. They may not be safe (ask Mike) but I can leave them with DD overnight if you like. Rodders can come if he can cope!
Hugs to all who need them, I think that may be a few of us.

Hi Erme, I think Mike [STRIKE]sold his FB ID to moneysupermarket .com[/STRIKE] had to give up his FB for various reasons.
I'm glad you're eating better, look after yourself hun. Sending you a cappuccino-flavoured cupcake (virtual, sorry) in the hope it will help your appetite.
Tell us about this potential exchange then?Miggy

Rodders has been to a couple of jubilee events today with lots of people in both locations so I am sure he can cope with a party!
Happy to supply wine and crisps :beer: (virtual of course!):j Proud Member of Mike's Mob :j0 -
