Evening all,Sorry i have been missing but I have been locked out of my account for some reason and only managed to get back in. Really frustrating 😕.Anyway I managed to finish January 28/27 and am on 4/26 for February as I fell at the first hurdle on the 1st. Met up with an old colleague unexpectedly and we had a couple of g&ts. Really enjoyed the chat and the reminiscing and also had some lovely food. Was a good evening.Great to be back 🙂5
