    HEY DEDICATED, ARE YOU IN THERE? MAKE A NOISE IF YOU ARE SO WE CAN BREAK THE DOOR DOWN IF YOU ARE HURT.


    (That should do it :D)

    Hope it works :T:rotfl:.

    (DDFW, we miss you).

    Hey DDFW, just because I've been AWOL doesn't mean you could go AWOL too! ;)


    Seriously, hope all is well and you're *just* busy xx

    Ditto what greent said .....
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • I'm really quite worried now. This isn't like Dedicated. I guess she could have gone on her holidays, but normally she tells us so we can pick up the post, leave the milk bottles out and look after her virtual cat.


    If we don't hear anything in 24 hours I'm going to break in.


    The cat will have wasted away, having nothing but cookies to live on! :eek:

    Me too. :(

    I did PM but she hasn't replied, so I'm hoping she's just having a lovely break somewhere.

    Miss you DDFW :)

    Hope the cat's ok :eek:

  • Thanks jwil!


    Well, it's all very clean, tidy and quiet. The cat came back (eventually). I'll keep it in my thread until Dedicated gets back. I don't know where she has gone to. Nobody has seen any shallow graves on the paths between our threads, have they?!
