    Hi SRM

    Nice to see you back. Not good about the slipped disc though - ouch!

    I am back from the market - absolutely freezing. It was very busy though, which is good and luckily I was organised for onece and put a stew in the slow cooker, so just about to get eating it.

    Well done on resisting the coat littlesue. You will feel far better for not buying more stuff.

    Not great Claire. It was so cold that we only stayed a couple of hours. She did make some sales but her table was put at the back facing the pavement and most people were walking in the road where the market was.

    It is such a shame (for both of you) because so much work goes into it.

    She did sell one snowflake though for £4!

    Evening all, I'm back home and waiting for a takeaway delivery.

    Sorry about the jewellery Claire and Jade.

    Sue, well done on the willpower!

    SRM, hugs, it's good to see you back.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    mmm, nom nom, I'd love a takeaway Ames.

    We've just finished assembling the desk - it is rather tiny! I might have some problems using it for hours at a stretch but it will have to do for now as I am committed to staying DF whilst I find a new job. It is still good to have moved forward in assembling it and re-arranging the furniture to get it where it is going to live. You should have seen us tangled in the phone lead etc! :rotfl:
