    I've found that the year goes by more quickly with each passing year. :eek:

    Time for a holiday perhaps kerri? :)

    I've also been getting the threads mixed up.

    Would love one but won't be until later in the year if we go away. There's the possibility of a big trip next year so not too worried if we don't go this year. A few days off the treadmill would be nice though but won't be this month.

    Kindly Hubert has just offered to go in for a few days,just to give you a break....

    He made that offer to scotmum a few days ago,but for some inexplicable reason she declined.

    He has a very nice telephone manner and makes a decent cup of tea.

    Think about it.

    my goodness, don't tell Mrs D that :eek: however if he can make a cuppa, he sounds like the ideal candidate. How's his typing skills?

    Oh dear.That was the question I was hoping you wouldn't ask.

    Typing isn't really his forte shall we say.

    He's eager to please,has a very pretty smile,but has nervous intestines,so you don't want to challenge him too much.

    On account of him having hooves instead of hands. :rotfl:

    Perhaps I could just restrict him to like tea duties, I assume as a donkey he could be useful for cutting the grass too? :D
