Morning. Tried to get in last night but the site was down ??? Anyway, nice to see you all....
Pippi, do tell us all about it, it sounds fascinating! History about how people really lived and felt and thought is so much more interesting than 'the seventh batallion wheeled around the right flank' which means nothing to anyone.
Oh Yumms!!!!! Tubs is right (naturally!)---see if you can adjust something.Otherwise, find the cheapest alternative china you can (charity shops, parents' friends)----by the time the boys are out of their teens most of it will have got broken anyway
Tubs, that counts as OLYMPIC cross-training!! No wonder you were knackered! But it sounds like the cold is better and the thumb is functional again... How are the eyes now?
DL, you is evil 
In my opinion you is also dicing with death... you KNOW (because you just told us) what Podds does to people who annoy her
Oh Podds, GCSE's again? Already? Do they never stop? I'd never realised your life was quite so full of unending joy! Hope they go well, anyway.
GFB, welcome home! We thought you'd abandoned us forever. And what a lot of nice news from the FB household---you must be well proud of the young 'uns! And well done you too, that's a lotta miles you've got there 
Just take it easy til you feel better, that cold sounds like a nasty one.
Have a fun day, your Meldyship!
Flying to Exeter this arvo for a quick visit with C3 (and trip to M&S for undies, and Sainsbury's for pre-rolled marzipan but Rossie and I are going out for a little waddley chugette now )) Happy days, all xxx
