Hey NYG...thanks for checking in on my long-suffering mother...lol. Madam has been busy settling herself on the sofa, glass of sherry & tray of chocolates within very comfortable reach, novel propped open on her lap as a much deserved nap overtakes her. The kids and I are, of course, run off our feet but it's great to have her here with us for a couple of weeks.

Denny...good to see you again. I'm hitting the Boxing Day sales early tomorrow...shall see what I can find you for a house-warming gift...I'm thinking blow-up doll 75% off?? Wait, that doesn't sound right.... laugh

I hope you all had a joyous day...and lemme know if I need to be buying those blow-up dolls in bulk!! laugh laugh laugh
