    Ah yes....those brussel sprouts. Still a great topic of conversation at our house. We know things are never quite as bad as they might initially seem once we realise that we still haven't had to resort to opening *that* tin.....!!

    Well, it seems that it was all for a reason - eventually, the manager of said coffee shop plucks up courage to ask me out, sweeps me off my feet, and will be fully installed chez hypno very soon.

    Hey Hypno, what a great bit of news. I rarely come along on here now and so to find this first was really nice.

    Killer heels, burlesque, football, skiing, coffee.................. all great but even better if shared with a special somebody. Especially the killer heels and burlesque. Just saying ;)

    I love a happy ending.

    As the saying goes "life is what you make it" ... what a great role model for those going through money struggles and life's ups and downs.

    Great news, thanks for telling us.
