    Hi Guys

    Now you know my dirty little secret!:rotfl:

    I love doing it the writing keeps me AF - and I can't do it until night time - so keeps me focussed!

    I'm writing a couple trial articles for an online garden thing (which if it comes off might mean a bit more good life income - writing a thing once a month and getting paid!)

    *the whole gang is almost back together*

    :)

    Can't beat a shin of beef casserole I don't think - I usually have dumplings with mine but having a change tonight - lovely buttered cabbage all eaten up now!
