    :grouphug: No worries about missing the rugby MOT

    (Except it was a stirling example of Ampersand's superlative coaching abilities with Warren...wish she had turned her attention to Brian A earlier on in the series!!!)

    I had the TV on but was too busy sorting out all the bills I haven't paid for the last few months :eek: . (even the prospective eye candy couldn;t distract me!!)

    Still, here I am now with a nice glass of wine..and thinking about you and your day and wanting to send you big hugs!!

    Will ring tomorrow later on. Hope the CC was good....and hoping that you get a roast tomorrow. If not..allow me to wish you an early Easter.....:EasterBun ....and I would be happy to oblige on the culinary front in the future.....my limbo place or yours (before April!!) ???..otherwise...celebration at your new pad??!!!

    P.S. I love cooking roasts...had one tonight :D

    Love
