Hi SALLY,lovely to hear HL is in the good books,your tea sounded lovely Decided we're going to have a stay over in Belfast next Saturday night.Have a wedding in May,youngest and myself need to get dresses so we'll shop for those while we are there.Looking forward to that Think I'll trust oldest to look after Lacey,really don't want her in kennels

It's a worry TW - she might even have confiscated his laptop

Eileen that sounds like a lovely weekend coming up for you, and you will feel a lot happier about Lacey if she is being looked after by your eldest, rather than going into kennels. Pah.........there you will be getting high on retail therapy whilst I am dealing with the grandsproglet and his lego or mecano or something.

Talking of which, I need to see if I can find some more mecano on line - most places only seem to stock the modern version which is plastic and horrible.

See you tomorrow those who are around, and take care

Goodnight
Hopefully GORDON is having a romantic evening in or out with her ladyship and is otherwise engaged

Here at last - Just when you all thought the Mem had swapped me for half a dozen orphan lambs! Been oh so busy I'm afraid and to follow the hard work we had early evening shopping (Oh joy!) folowing all this as Lacey correctly summised I took the Mem out to dinner. Not the magnificent kind with tails and flunkies but a trip to downtown Manchester (The Curry Mile) for slap up nosh a la sub-continent. Where two persons can eat their way into a coma (or was it Korma) for less than 30 quid so at least that part of the day was enjoyable. So it's goodnight from a well stuffed Northern Correspondent and as always Bye fer now.

I knew it!!
Goodnight GORDON,I'm off to bed,see ya tomorrow
