    :(

    I'm full of woe & angst.

    Beaten up friend (cashpoint) is critical in hospital high dependency ward.
    The more I hear of his attack, the more ghastly it was.
    Beaten, thrown around & stamped on street, his hair pulled out by roots. He is 62 - and wasn't well to start with.

    Oh that's awful poor chap.

    Talking of Dawn she learned today that she had passed her latest exam with 67%. She s done 8 out of the 12 needed. When she has done the last 4 over the next 2 years she will be a chartered accountant :) I'm proud of her too as she works full time for Wrexham Council and she has Riley and Ruby as well so a lot on her plate.:T

    Emerald...thank you for sharing the trapeze details....what a fantastic experience it must have been.
    Many stories to tell,and so many people and places.
    It must have been very hard after his accident to leave all that behind...does he miss it,or was it coming to a natural end?

    Would you have liked to have been part of it all when he was travelling or was it better that you did re acquaint after everything had finished?

    Sorry for all the questions...but its such an interesting story....and feel free to ignore me if you'd rather not answer my ramblings!

    Also a 12 pack of gold scanned at 50p as well.

    Loads of cards 25p but as it said 2016 on the reverse I put them back.

    thanks for clarifying sal xxx
    We are many we are one xxx

    So that every single post that I contribute to this thread is on topic I would just like to say I am an elite 11+ member and I hear the unjust silence of my opinions whilst I am shopping in supermarkets mainly. Just sayin.
