    Thanks everyone-yet again.

    It's another cold one this morning, and I'm trying to keep hold of the thought that he's in someone's house, snoozing by the fire-being spoiled rotten.

    Can't let go of the 'vanishing' thing though. It's just so strange. Feels like an age he's been gone, although in the grand scheme of things it's not really.

    Maybe today will be the day eh?

    I think that's a good idea. :D

    I know when I lived in the Highlands, I only ever bought the North Star or the P&J etc if one of my kids was going to be in it for any reason, usually school or sports related stuff.

    It was only ever the Daily Record I bought as a rule.

    There's bound to be other people who are the same.

    I was thinking about my son the other night, he gets up at 6am drives straight to work, gets home at 7.30pm, eats and goes to bed.

    The only time he would see 'news' is from one of the papers lying around on his tea breaks.

    The point I'm trying to make, is that although loads of places have been targeted, there will still be people who are unaware.

    Certainly can't do any harm to try. :)

    Sounds like a plan to me we need to make this bigger than ever so no one can miss this. I don't read papers but if posters were out everywhere I'd probably notice.

    Lets hope today is the day. I don't think we should give up hope yet anyway I will keep posting on facebook until we have him back.

    so are we going to draft an email to daily record once sazzy gives us the ok? and then all send it and keep sending till a reporter gets back, i am pushing facebook to get more to join group.

    oh forgot to say is they any warehouses or big companies around the area that might have taken him in? i don't know the area but ex hubbie worked in dingwall for 15 years and i used to go up , it seems to be in same area and i think it might be an idea to contact them if its not been done ,
    just in case he has been taken in by them. off to look at maps

    Thanks Toniq, it's

    Guys- you don't need my permission to do anything- just go ahead. Think it's gone too far now for anything else.

    I've got a presentation to do at work today..wonder how many times I'll drift off in there. The only good thing about not sleeping much is that I've been able to do it in the wee small hours-least it keeps me focussed..although I must admit to a few small tear stains on my notes.

    Luckily- they've been brilliant, and they understand that my mobile will be on the whole time, and if it goes off with the right phone call- I'll be off and they can blow their presentation!

    Sounds good to me, we could all email the same draft? stating also our own whereabouts. That way they will see just how far we are all spread, but are still trying to help.

    Bloody hell I would run naked in the streets if i thoguth it would help and believe me that wouldnt be a pretty site.
