    Karma, Piq is a wonderful thing. In years to come you will look back on this time and realise that this was your turning moment. You have so many supporters on here, all willing you through, you cannot possibly fail! We are all behind you, Piq's Army, Piqadores, and although we might be somewhat cantankerous, opinionated, and stroppy at times, we all love you!

    Hi Piq, hope the move goes ok. Been there, it is stressful but you'll both come through it.

    Ah Piq, how rubbish. Try to take all the sadness, anger and hurt you feel and use them to motivate you to make a success of your life. You never know quite where decisions will take you, but things that are upsetting or difficult can often be the things that unlock doors you wouldn't have thought to try to open otherwise.

    Piq I think you need to think about the above. It could be the start of your portfolio.......

    Hello honey, so sorry that I've been AWOL for a bit, work has been rather hectic this week and I've been shattered every evening as a result.

    Anyway, loving the gardening plans, so sorry I wasn't around to add to the advice, not that I'd have had anything extra to add to the fantastic posts you've received. Sadly I'm not at all green fingered but luckily have a man who can in OH, so I get to enjoy the fruits of his labour.

    Sorry to hear about your trouble with gutless, spineless YO - I wish him everything I wish Mrs PG's yacht man.

    Remember though, even though we often cannot see it at the time "Everything happens for a reason" You and the Darling Captain will come out of this feeling happier in the end.

    Love and chocolate, (as you don't like hugs) Granny x

    Hi Piq

    So so sorry you're having to move the Captain..but am so relieved you have somewhere to move him to, where he will be loved and looked after. Will say no more as I know it's completely stressful and so very sad.

    :T:T :T at you posting that card!!!:T well done.

    Re the "Gardens Tour"- That's great. Go to NL first and then let me know when you're free afterwards as I have several people ( eg. My parents) who would probably be delighted to have someone sort the garden for them...maybe I could even arrange it as a surprise birthday present as I am always wondering what to give them...almost like a voucher and I would simply pay you..they get the work and your lovely advice and company!!!:D

    Hope all went as well as it could do today & that the Captain is settled in his new home.
