    thanks for the offer, but it's fine. I just have to delegate more at work as I can't type very well!

    @redofromstart and gone to A&E yesterday.

    I think that should have said 'should have listened to'!

    Have to admit I wouldn't have gone either.

    I swear I typed the rest... told you my typing was affected.

    I might follow your advice on the wine and chocolate.

    I didn't pay any attention to not prepping veg - courgettes, toms, onion, and peppers are in the SC and I need to work out how to delay the start until cheap rate.
