If you happen to visit Northampton market I might see you there; that would make two of us!

Please Wend, don't slope off, and its so bad for your posture for you to be walking round with your head down!No need for nerves and uncertainty either. Head held high, smile on face!
Birdi, another one in Northampton! Theres a few of us within shouting distance of each other.
Hi Sue Supercrutch. Thank you for the welcome. Dare I ask what makes your crutch "super"?

KatieW Report 5 Mar 2010 22:37

OK Igor, enough of that now, you're making me hungry, and surely you know it's not good to eat such lavish food so close to bedtime. Anyway, all that garlic is SO unsociable! Now, that really is madness!

Hello Katie:-)

My board name refers to my sparkling walking aid ;-) I live in Wales and am considered quite friendly but a little strange...lol

Jump into any threads which you like the look of, you will soon get to know people.

OK Shelly, I'll remember to "shout" for you when it's late and I want a chat to someone, that'd be lovely. I don't have any ancestors in London, my lot all came from Liverpool, but I'll have a look at your graveyard thread, thanks for the link.

Igor,thanks very much for your kind offer to share your daffodils with me, but I'll decline just now thanks, if you don't mind. Tell the truth. I'm full to bursting with all the tulips I ate earlier!!!

Wend, so pleased you asked JBA that question, as I didn't like to do so on my first night here, but I'm really looking forward to the demonstration we'll be getting soon! :+)

Brummiehelen. Thank you so much for your lovely welcome, and I look forward to chatting to you also in the future. So many lovely, welcoming people on here. What a fantastic bunch, thank you, everyone.

Yes Kat, agree with you, it is great there, but just couldn't do the travelling like that again. 19 hours to Singapore, cramped up, bored, and totally starving! Was nearly on the point of eating my make up! Then a 6 hour flight from Singapore to Adelaide, which wasn't too bad. At least I'd had a chance to walk around at Changai Airport, and eat something. Mind you, I travelled on my own, so maybe if I'd had a travelling companion, I'd at least have had someone to chat to.
Igor, from Northampton? Small world. I'm sure you must get very lonely being the only sane one on here, so I'm very pleased to be the second sane one to join you on the board. Thanks for the welcome

Hiya Shelly. What a tonic your message was. Made me laugh-not in a nasty way-just loved your attitude-"can't spell and don't care"! Lovely.
Hiya LPC-thanks for your welcome and kind thoughts.
I've just realised that if I scroll down whilst replying, I can see the most recent messages. Didn't realise that, and was trying to remember who said what! Learn something new every day!
