    Excuse me for popping in to your diary. I lurk and read and don't post, however, i think you are an inspiration.
    The reason for coming out of lurkdom is to say to Eager Elephant that your mailbox is full so I can't PM you .....

    Sorry blackcats - I have deleted some messages now.

    Mr SA had a fall today too :( Hope you are not too badly affected.

    Woo hoo to door fund :)

    Mr SA used to get bad indigestion but since GP prescribed Omniprazole(??) has disappeared.

    Sorry to hear about the fall. I hope you are okay.
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them
