    Evening all, a pants nights sleep again last night :o hopefully I'll do better tonight ...

    Today has been a nsd as hoped for :j I need to contribute to a work collection tomorrow that I'd forgotten about, but it can't be helped.

    Nothing much to add tonight, I keep desperately checking to see whether Bournemouths manager has left the club or not, he's an amazing manager and very much in demand wlsewhere, we'll struggle a lot without him :(

    We were doing the exact same with our manager last week.

    Hopefully he is staying......but there seem to be so many changes throughout the leagues it is unbelievable this year!!

    Fingers crossed all round x

    And good luck with the boiler etc!
