Member Since: March 2008 Posts: 4,590 Send Message	Good morning everyone. We had a brilliant night out last night,surrounded by our family. Plenty of photo's were taken, so when my daughter sends them to me I will forward them on, so you can take a peep at us lot. Me thinks there will be quite a few sore heads this morning, but both of us are fine. As I don't drink, and Roly knows his limits,and knows when to stop. But, two of my daughters,and one grandaughter were oh so merry, but so funny with it. Have a lovely day out Rita,enjoy yourself with the family. We are having a lazy day today, lounging round the house doing nowt.

	Linda I am pleased you managed to get on to GR free. I didnt get on last time either. I didnt bother after 8 left it . I have just had my shower and dressed all smart.I am ready for pick-up my son is collecting me to take me back to his home where I will have dinner.and Tea. Linda I dread night times I am unable to sleep and it is begining to tell on me. I cannot take any natural sleeping tablets due to my warfarin that holds me back on so many things. I might have to go and see the Doctor. but I dont like to keep going. I will have to see.? Stephen hope your family gathering goes off well. I bet you dont have Haggis for dinner ? if you do where are the pipers. ? love to all Rita.
