    NDG is your mother making your cake? Do you have a date and a dress etc? descriptions would be fun :)

    Yes, no, and no. Flat first, then wedding, then another baby. I can't do more than one of those at once (-:
    ...much enquiry having been made concerning a gentleman, who had quitted a company where Johnson was, and no information being obtained; at last Johnson observed, that 'he did not care to speak ill of any man behind his back, but he believed the gentleman was an attorney'.

    Do you need very long fingers for those rings? Congrats, btw!


    Thanks! Sadly, no. I have short stubby fingers, not the lovely long elegant piano-playing ones my sisters have.

    Her decision, I suppose - perhaps she is blessed with an optimistic view of human nature?

    Blessed would be the word NDG. If only we all had that blessing!

    I'm so sad. Birmingham has lost a beautiful woman and it's best estate agent to a sudden aneurysm :cry:

    27 years old, bright, passionate, knowledgeable, engaging, friendly and such a pleasure to deal with; I thought that she had such a bright future ahead of her. We thought she was great, only told her again last week, I'm glad she knew. She put the phone down and told the office that we thought she was wonderful :) We never stopped telling people either. What a very sad shame for her partner, her family and her boss who clearly loved her. I must sound like an idiot but she's been through trials and tribulations with us and I was genuinely fond of her.

    I now know someone on both sides of the organ donation story, brave girl. :(

    It was that third ring that put me off-track.
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    Is there a news quote or something to go with this? What happened to her?

    I changed my post, you're right. No news quote just a phonecall from her boss who I think is in shock and needed to share. :(

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I haven't had a cigarette for YEARS ...since I got ill, and was never a heavy smoker, but today for some reason I keep thinking I want one. I know if I had one my head would ache and I'd be sick, and smell. And I don't want one, but for some reason I keep thinking about it. :( Delayed withdrawal symptoms?

    Anyway, to distract myself I'mjust about to go and get a broody hen ut of the house and get it ready for some incoming eggs...which hopefully will arrive tonight. (should have moved her yesterday but ..hey ho)
