Hi all, hope you have all been keeping well.. I wondered, after yesterdays challenge, whether DREGS could be considered? i.e. as in coffee dregs, dregs of society.....you can't have one dreg, can you?

Awwwwwww!!  Thanks you guys....that is very nice of you all- including Linda [you're just a pussy cat Linda!!].. I had a very nice birthday thanks and yes the twins - who were 18 in January- [now the troublw starts!!!!!!!!!]  are now out of the shed and treated me to a very nice day including fab pressies and lunch...

I have been really busy at work and at home and very preoccupied trying to sort out my late mothers house.....what joy!! 

And- [Linda you will love this!1] i couldn't remember my password to log into the forum-.....good old senility is settling in nicely....

Anyway, thanks again....

Hi Jane,

i am gutted that you were here and we didnt get to meet up...what a shame..
But now you know where it is, and how gorgeous it is, maybe you will come again!!!..

Hope the town put on a good time for you....

Thanks again guys...  It is nice to think of my fellow formates watching Tv and thinking of me...it was fab having the sailing on my doorstep practically- the town had really good coverage and hopefully we will see a lot more international visitors from now on.

It was worth the 2 years of hell the town, and locals, went through...and i mean HELL.....

All over now though...

Lovely to be back on...i have missed you all..

happy birthday AQ..hope it's a good one...X

Well, thanks everyone...
It has been rough/tough...and my Mum, bless her, was not the easiest person in a good mood, yet alone when ill...but anyway- more good times ahead i hope.

Viral, how could you not see me- i was the one with the union jack jumping up and down waving like a loony and shouting!!!!!

Linda, you old hag, i have missed you and our virtual sparring....bring it on buddy...or shall we take it outside?
And YES, to the hunky men- unfortunately they are staying just out of reach on their boats....mind you, i don't blame them!!!

Thanks Rhino and cb, it is good to know i have been missed...

And thank you and welcome to Gaye Christine. Linda would say that the only reason you are still here as a relative newby is that i wasn't around to welcome you on your first posting- she has this theory that my welcomes were the kiss of death to all new forumates!!!   

So come on then you lot...what's the goss!!!!!!?

It's good to be back...

Hello everyone, [oldies and newies]

It's been ages since i have been on the forum, for several different reasons;
1- my computer wouldn't let me post
2- my time has been very limited for the last 9 months [no i have not had a baby!!!!]
3- the reason my time has been very limited was because my mum was very ill and we [my sisters and me] had been looking after her pretty much 24/7 for the last 7-8 months- sadly she passed away in July, and now we have all the aftermath to deal with.
4- the Olympics are here and are in my home town of Weymouth [ at least the sailing events are] and the last few weeks have been manic here too...I hope you are all watching them- especially the sailing, and feel inspired to visit..

Anyway- there is not a hope in hell of me reading through all the posts i have missed- so if i have missed anything vital please let me know.

I have missed you all, and playing the game...and will endeavour to get on more often and put in my tuppence worth once again...

A little breezy round the trussocks me thinks...
