    So very true Frayed Knot :p I think we've all done incredibly well this year. The people on this thread are really encouraging. Even though I don't always say it, I read people's diaries and take little hints and tips away for which I am grateful for.

    Watch out 2017... we're coming!!!!! :rotfl:
