    Glad you've given it another go Rach. Though forms are a bloomin' nightmare aren't they? I only thought of the copy and paste way of doing forms after the same thing happened to me!! Don't work too late.

  • Hi, sorry I'm a little late this evening and haven't had time to fly or read the posts (how many pages?!) this one jumped right out at me though.. No idea what went before but can I come too?

    We all need to win the lottery and then jet off to some shopping/spa hot spot for a week. We so deserve it.

    There will be hot men giving us massages, facials ( not the ones pigpen is thinking off) and lots of shopping, in trainers, so our feet don't hurt. And some more hot men to carry our bags, and rub our feet cos even in trainers the amount of shopping we are going to do, is going to hurt.

    Then lunch with wine and bubbly (not bubble bath) and flamin huge chocolate cakes and then we can get liposuction so we don't feel guilty. Oh, hell, who cares if we are fat, we are RICH!

    And if the zombies do attack, we will be rich and they will fly us and our families (if we want them...) to safety and all will be well.

    and the kids will be with nannies at Disney land, and then we will meet up for Christmas in lap land.

    And very big hugs to Border.

    Been out on the second date this evening that was most certainly a date this time (I've had a real snog :D ) and it's quite an exciting prospect now I've got my head round the whole idea of dating again at 42. Tomorrow though I will definitely have to play catch up as I've rather rashly invited him for tea on Thursday :eek: (It's ok, I know him and so does my rather big brother)

    Sorry to have missed all your news today, I hope it's all been good and that there's been some flying done.
    Catch you all tomorrow.
