    Fab news on the loan being gone, that's brilliant :j

    Not good about the flowers, takeaway and still being in pain - boo :(

    You can moan all you want, it's your diary, we're here to read and make useful suggestions :)

    Take care Beanie xx

    Isn't it strange how a simple job can turn into a big saga sometimes. :(

    I keep reading posts by Teapot2 and thinking 'I don't remember typing that' then realise it's not me. :rotfl: Which is a blessed relief as I keep thinking I'm going doolally :eek: xx
