    Ha Ha repeatoffender - Patrick Jane cannot be Red John, can he?
    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Why not? ;)
    So you're Red John? I have to say I'm a little disappointed.

    Better grasp hold of this thread again before it completely runs off. But progress towards my targets has been slow, well actually non-existant. And I'm trundling for a week by the seaside so hopefully upon my return I can get things kickstarted.

    Back from the sunny surf of South Devon and to the cold realization that not only shouldn't we have gone on the holiday cos we couldn't afford it but we certainly shouldn't have spent as much as we did while we were there. But we did, and we loved it, and I would do it all exactly the same again. And now we'll pay for it - one way or another. From tomorrow it will be cold hard saving / earning / fitness. Tonight is the last splash - Bloaters are going to be cranking it up to the max with the remaining booze in the fridge before a month of yoghurt-knitting ensues. Hell, I might even post up a SOA for you all to peruse.*

    *Just kidding.

    The thought of MrB in budgie-smugglers eating ice cream off beanielou conjours up an awful mental image.
