    . I do think a chaise lounge is a good description of you though. Stylish yet comfortable and laid back :)

    In fact I might make 2 Christmas cakes this year:rotfl::rotfl:

    And here's another thing.

    You know I mentioned saving £2 coins in a jar the other week?

    Well since then I haven't seen a single one.:o I think it must be everyone saving them in jars keeping them out of circulation:rotfl:

    Well it's not me. I've saved 20p coins and 50p coins. Going to open my tin tomorrow for a count up :D

    Now, Mr AJ on the other hand saves ............................. ........... all sorts of coins :eek: :rotfl: :rotfl:
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.
