Hi everyone. Thanks for your welcome. It'll take me a while to remember everyone, but practice makes perfect, eh? Thanks for the advice on keeping details private-I'll certainly remember that.

This is my first posting, so I'll introduce myself. I'm Katie, in my mid 50's. I was born in Liverpool, but moved to Northamptonshire when I was 4 yrs old. I lived in Hastings for 10 years (1995-2005), before moving back to Northamptonshire, where I am now. I've got 4 children, eldest 34, youngest 21-(the only one still at home now). I've got 4 Grandchildren, 3 of them still live in Hastings, and my beautiful newest Grandchild was born 2 days ago to my eldest son (not literally, I mean my d-i-l). I've decided to join the boards for company in the evenings, and hope you bear with me whilst I learn the protocol and procedures. Hope you all don't mind, but for this evening, you're all "guinea pigs" I'll be testing my abilities on!! Happy chatting.
