    Crickette, I should've said something - I really felt for you - I'm glad you're getting a takeaway - and compared to some of the things you might have done, it *is* mse, very! As long as you now enjoy it!

    That takeaway would have been far worse if it had come from the 24 hour donut shop! :D So don't worry. And how cheery to tick all those things off (wasn't sure about all of them mind you, but I'm sure I could think of things to replace them with! :D)

    It turns out that cowbag colleague might have had a point. Although I heartily disapprove of the way she went about things, it turns out she did have a point actually. Ha. That will stick in her craw no end!! Her ideal would have been for me to lots of work and get nothing out of it! :D Just a teensy bit of revenge for me.

    Also, I look forward to the Universe biting her in the tushie sometime soon. I just hope I get to see it happen!! :D

    Right... off to phone hubby to tell him I am on my way and to tackle the tram and horrid traffic jams!

    Thanks again for the support ladies, you lot are fab. Hugs and positive vibes to one and all. :j:j:T:T

    Can I just poke my head in with a little news??? Just received my waited-for email....

    "Dear Cheery,

    The changes you've made are excellent - and you've done much more than you
    needed to you. I've searched for things to criticise, but I really can't find
    anything. I'll be happy to sign this off as it is. Well done. Very
    impressive.

    Mr Examiner"
