That is such wonderful news Alison! So excited to hear that news even if I have til Monday when I'm back at work (BOO!) X
Fantastic news! You’ve done brilliantly to soldier on from the library or your mum’s, but this will be so much easier for you and we’ll hear from you more often. Ahhhh, life is good.
Yay! I’m so pleased for you, if I were a rich man (do be do be do be do be do be do be doo)….well, rich woman, I’d have bought you a new pc long ago just to make it easy for you to post and enthrall us. Goodbye library and book sniffing lech, hello again cyber-world.
