    Hello my lovelies

    Just popping by to say a big thank you for my lovely birthday wishes at the weekend. Really sweet of you to remember, seeing as I'm a [STRIKE]skiver [/STRIKE]lurker ;)

    Been meaning to check in for a while now - I've been thinking about you all recently, especially since the awful news of the wonderful Diva :(:(:(

    Thanks for keeping me on the lurkers list, Toots. I'm still flying, but not really keeping up with the thread unfortunately. What I normally do is grab the full list at the weekend and use that for the coming week, so I'm a week behind everyone IYSWIM, but it works well for me. I try to have a quick skim of the last few pages at the weekend too. I will try to post a bit more regularly tho :o

    :bdaycake: Happy birthday Dusty

    Huge (((hugs))) for Toots, LadyL and everyone else who needs one xxx
    I need direction to perfection...
