Well I didn't know about this thread when I posted on the "Simple Questions, Simple Answers" one!!!

I know you don't need a petition Matt, but we might actually like to start one girls (and boys!)

Hope you realise where my vote goes Matt

Thanks, but I sound like such an attention seeker now dont I?

No!

Seconded

Rosemary

thirded!

I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaacccccccccccccc ccccckkkkkk

Just got back this afternoon!

The wonderful news is that Michael is now a fully fledged biker *inserting big proud smile here* He had his basic training on the Sunday, written test on Monday, training from Monday afternoon to Wednesday. Took his test on Thursday and passed with flying colours.

As for me, well, as I am Greek my trip had to be full of drama

I had a great trip out with Swissair (great airline by the way). No comparison to Ryanair and BMI Baby and the rest of them. Anyway, as soon as I got there, was told that my passport was void and that I would not be able to use it for my return flight! Couldn't think of anything else except how I was going to get out of there! Longgggggggggggggggggggg story! I eventually managed (with alot of fast talking and document flashing) to convince the authorities that I live abroad permanently and wasn't aware of their new law that all passports had to be renewed by 1st Jan 07 (new passports with microchips), regardless of whether they were still valid (mine expires in 2009!).

Whilst I was there, managed to have a few great days with my son and girlfriend, meet up with old colleagues for a bit of ouzo and a quick 3 hours with all my cousins, aunts, etc.,etc.

Oh and I did go to the church as promised and lit candles.

I'm absolutely exhausted and trying to catch up with all the posts!

Sending hugz and smooches to those that want them

Good to have you back Martha, we've missed you

Welcome back Martha!

We really have missed you

Many congratulations to Michael

Ooooh! That was a bit of a dodgy moment with the passport situation, wasn't it!
Well done for getting that all sorted out; although if it took a lot of your (already limited time) up, that was a real shame.

Good luck with all your catching up - at home, at work and on here!!
Will look forward to chatting to you again when you've had a chance to catch your breath!

Love Sam xx

Thank you Lionda and Sam

It's always nice to hear a friendly and heartfelt welcome

Sending love and good wishes
Martha

I thought you would of been out choosing a bike ;-)

Hiya jdr,

You're right, we were! All day yesterday

We've finally made our decision and are ordering it first thing Monday morning as Michael is getting antsy *lol*

Will let you know how things progress.
