    Hi Froggy, how fabulous, really pleased for you :j:j:j

    I've just logged on for a long overdue catch-up on threads and not only do I find that you're Tilly's new lodger but that you've got a new job, so pleased for you :beer:

    Make sure Tilly provides a slap up celebratory meal, now's your chance to tell us she really just serves up bread and dripping and uses takeaways all the time :rotfl:

    Regards
    ATT
    That would be so funny :rotfl:

    I promise he had spicy chicken hotpot tonight and tomorrow night it's pork and spinach lasagne :)

    It's such brilliant news and Froggy is already on to his new chapter

    Can we start house hunting soon?

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
