[caro]

And here we both are with so much to do, and yet we still fit in a few hours to try and help people.

Thank goodness for the Bear Garden where we can try and unwind a bit and get away from the day to day grind.

Don't know about you Giz, but I reckon we deserve a few minutes break now and again.

Sorry to go off topic Barra.

Well I guess now I've got the list written down I should go and actually do some of those things. It's surprising how much there is when it's all written down.

If you aren't busy Giz, you could pick some blackberries to go with the apples, or better still, get the kids to do it.

LOL - isn't that just a task and a half, and it would be made easier if the eldest in question actually showed some interest...I've almost given up on this...let him work in McDonalds...he might at least get an idea of what he doesn't want to do...

She wants to be a vet - only I could have a child who chooses one of the longest courses available, the most expensive and in an area where everyone eants to work with fluffy little animals

She's pretty sure where she wants to work - but I'm thinking of sending over the bridge so she knows where she doesn't want to live.

Apparently I've disappeared from CAG because:

1. Every time I log in I've got a full PM box that takes me an hour to answer
2. I've actually got to work in the garden sometimes
3. The house needs cleaning
4. Relatives keep on visiting and,
5. My b***dy computer keeps on breaking.

Grr...
