Tracy, Thanks for your support! How I wished you lived closer so you could be in my corner more often. I have to suffer abuse like this all the time. I really wish I had had a son and then Allan could spar with him instead of me all the time! It's a good job I have broad shoulders - I think the laughing cow tag also indicates I have a wide everything else (not wrong!)
I'm about to be known as PamPat (for Pam Paterson) as this is what I am known as at work. This is because my boss is also called Pam and there are way too many damned Pam's on this island to start with. DH is about to set me up with my own identity so you will know from now on that it is him who is being funny/rude, and me who is kind, caring, sensitive. I don't know how I've managed to maintain my good points being married to Big Fat Cheeser for nearly 17 years.
Really looking forward to meeting you all.
