I'm sure you didn't even notice, but we've been away for five days (ish!)

at my Dad's, where we met up with Caro Heyworth!! Had a lovely day and a

really good giggle. What an excellent forum this is )

Too many messages to wade through them all, but many congratulations,

Ruthie! Caro told me the news in my Dad's kitchen - stepmother thought we

were mad, shrieking excitement for the engagement of someone we'd never

clapped eyes on!

Caroline Pearce - I hope you got the drugs issue sorted out. How horrid

for you. In a previous life, I lived next door to a house of crack

dealers, and so have some extensive experience of all kinds of nasty drug

habits - if you think I can help at all, do get in touch.

Kirsten, I'm sorry about your mum's dog! I still miss my Mum's dogs

dreadfully, and it's about 3 years since Polly was put down, and Lucy was 3

years before that. Mind you, DH has promised that we can have a dog " next

year " .....!!

And happy birthday, liese

Too many other messages, must go and do the laundry instead!!

I can't imagine the grief of having a dog put down ...I know I cried

buckets when our hamster died. Just a hamster!

Well yes...

I love the engagement photo - they look so excited!!

My stepmother is actually fairly likely to get in touch with you - she's

jewish (secular) and has a daughter living in Jerusalem and is very twitchy

atm so thought you might be a soul-mate-in-the-making... I gave her your

web address, and will let her figure it out from there! Her name's

Halse (or Stott, if she's feeling married )
