    Hi all

    Hope you're all ok - just a quick update before I hit the books for the evening! Hugs to everyone that needs them and hello to all new people! Anyone heard anything from Starnac - been off for a few days so not sure if any news on the baby??

    In addition to above, claimed some petty cash from work, and will empty my change into sealed pot later on tonight.

    Have a great evening all!
