    Huh, just as I finally re-find your diary again after however many years and spend the whole weekend reading it from start to finish, you're disappearing on holiday!!

    Never mind, I shall lurk until you're back ;)

    Still, 3 more and then you are off. Are you getting excited yet?

    TBH no. Been far too busy with lots going on. Really need the break, so feel I'm being 'pushed' rather than 'pulled' which is not the frame of mind I want to be in. Need to get a grip.

    iRene is coming on holiday so hopefully I'll be about occasionally . There is no TV as satellite has been realigned - personally I'm glad about that :T. Lots of time to [STRIKE]talk to Mr GG[/STRIKE] read ;).

    Hi Gallygirl,

    Just wanted to check in and say how inspirational I'm finding reading your diary (I'm up to page 78/175 so don't want any spoilers... :) )

    I'm only relatively new here, so still getting to know people, but I'm amazed at how focused and determined you have been, and I hope to learn loads from you.
