    Doh! Just lost a post:mad:

    LW - I agree with the others, your knowledge is essential to those you are meeting. Take a deep breath and go for it. I was crippled by shyness as a child and can still remember the terror of new people and places. I really feel for you ((((Hug))))

    Jue - Well done for going to the Drs - I hope they give you something to make you feel better.

    Dusty and AnW - PC is Problem Child (I didn't feel it was PC to say Revolting little g**).

    Can I ask a daft question? I haven't been abroad for a very long time. OH has a conference in Paris in May (lucky so and so) - his passport expires this month.

    Do you need a passport to travel within the EU nowadays??

    Have a feeling we are going to need to find money for that too. Do you think he could claim as an expense :rotfl::rotfl:

    LW- My thoughts are with you. I know it will be hard for you but I also know you can do it.

    Hi everyone

    everything on todays list is now done, not too difficult as I usually try to keep Master bedroom tidy and nothing lives on the landing (except sometimes the cat)
    2 loads of washing done
    DW done

    had a delivery of wood today so we can make some raised beds at the weekend, then can start growing some veggies.
