    DS, Mr T and I have just finished watching the Harry Crumb film from 1989 - DS has roared with laughter all the way through - just goes to show that films don't have to be sophisticated, a bit of slapstick comedy occasionally is just what the Dr orders :rotfl:

    Evening, thanks to Sillyinthepast I now have two jars of lime marmalade. It's also a close friends birthday next week who loves everything 'home made', so I plan to give one to her with a couple of jars of Xmas type chutneys DD and I made.
    Actually, it's in the summer and I'm not that fond of marmalade. Thanks for thinking of me though :).

    Sorry about bad news :grouphug:
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Ok just holding a bookmark here ... I'm on page 74 ( been at this for a few days now) and will follow from here on in

    Now to get to here:)

    Ps Loving the diary :)
  • Elantan, you may deserve a medal. As I use my diary every day and have done pretty much since the 5/11/11, that's a whole load of stuff to wade through.

    I can safely say though, without :money: and the things I have learnt from guys on this forum, I/we couldn't and wouldn't have achieved what we have :)

    Well done for your perseverance.

    Best wishes Tilly
