    Just got a phone call to say one of Mum's friends has been knocked over by someone reversing, trapped her leg under car, then stupid driver drove forward again over her leg :mad:
    Now in hospital having emergency surgery - hope they can save her leg.

    Oh that's horrible. Wishing best of luck.:)

    You cheeky booger. :eek:

    Would you believe I used to work in an IT department. :rotfl: I used to install PCs for a big company and take them apart and repair them. Once I had the girls I shyed away from technology refusing to have a computer in the house on the grounds they were anti social. :o

    And if 1966 is anything to go buy we are probably about the same age. :p

    Yes, you've got the age, And yes I did the same, but wasn't interested in computers at the time. ;) I should have been a nerd and really got into it!! I regret it now 'cos I was around when it 'all' started. Still, technology moves on and so will the ELITE. :D

    Thanks Savvy and Scamps feel sick thinking about it.
    Reckon it's going to be a long night waiting for news. Both her son's live out of town and one has just had a kidney transplant.

    She is elderly, so not looking good.

    Oh I know about how things just give us frogs in the throat. It's not easy to avoid - I get it myself. Just - deep breaths, try to stay calm and :grouphug:.

    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)
