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

    Warning - RAID, RAID, RAID (she will leave her lappie unattended!!!)

    GG has changed her retirement plans and the new destination is the Arctic to go with her present (pleasant) mood

    Anyhow - she is presently doing a pretty important job (feeding her daughter who lies flat out on the settee)

    Have a good Christmas - better skulk off now before I get nabbed!!!!
