    :) not sure why I'm getting some cheering as I'm not doing anything very much to deserve some but lovely people thank you very much.

    Big bus to the big smoke sounds like a good idea. :D

    I must make a list. More of a reminder really. Lots going on and not a lot of brains.

    For example I was packing up a lovely box of auld DD frocks for someone lovely :) and I can't find the box I started.

    Silly me.

    TRG is also coming earlier than expected so I need to 'find' and unpack his other computer monitor.

    Its currently dans a box.

    (somewhere safe)
