Re: Thinking AGAIN of coming over!

:o I knew trendy was a very untrendy word as I typed it but couldn't think of a trendier one. Chertsey Lock was in Dockett Eddy lane. We are talking thirty years ago! Best forgotten. :rofl:

Re: Thinking AGAIN of coming over!

Re: Thinking AGAIN of coming over!

Re: Thinking AGAIN of coming over!

Thankyou MOSO. That is definitely along the lines of what we are looking for. Now we just have to do battle with him to convince him that it is a good idea. Wish me luck!

Re: Feeling ripped off

I have always been able to see my Dr or atleast a Dr the same or following day. They seem happy to let me winge for 10 minutes with my list of ailments and I've never felt rushed.

Re: Your Day In 10 Words Or Less
