Crommers, enjoy your break - you both deserve a longer one.

Good morning, all.

Sorry to read about your return journey from Old Trafford, Jo. One always likes to hope those sort of incidents are a thing of the past, but human (tribal) nature is what it is. I don't often mix with Premiership supporters on trains but I remember the last time I did, it was returning from Leicester to Birmingham (I'd been to Wellingboro, the Leicester fans had just seen their side win the first home game of the season in what was to become their title-winning year). One Leicester yoof was giving the mobile ticket collector a bit of lip (he'd obviously vaulted the barriers at Leicester station and hadn't got a ticket). The other Leicester fans looked on in stoical silence, then some exasperation as the argument continued, and it was only resolved when one of the beefier Foxes' contingent offered the guard to give the yoof a good slappin' on his behalf. The kid paid up.

On a sourer note, the only time I've been to Old Trafford was back in the '70's and the opposition were West Ham. I recall the Manchester "fans" gathering at Piccadilly station and physically spitting at the West Ham players, including Bobby Moore. That was how it was back then. Not nice.

SSE are outside the house as we speak, fitting the new LED street lighting. Looks like they are using existing poles and circuits, so nothing like the three-ring circus we had in Birmingham when they put the new system up alongside the old system, and you couldn't move for trenches.

Have a nice day folks!

Gal, good luck for this afternoon and we are going here, just outside Hawes in Wensleydale. It's dear but you can't take it with you as they say and it is a nice place.

well done you - that's amazing

Surely you must have reached target now? You don't have any more to lose! x

[Kaz]

Not quite Ria, I do have weeks when I stay the same or even gain a half pound or pound - that's par for the course this close to target as your body really does not want to cooperate Only a couple of pounds to go!

Coffee and cake after Gal good luck

Ahh you know me too well I went for that - of COURSE - at Costa

Thanks everyone....all seems well, but they will check the results of the Echo next week and if all is well there, they will discharge me.....if not I will be kept on an annual recall to make sure everything stays ok

Just got another appt for the ultrasound on my thyroid....it's the week we are at the caravan, September 26th. So, good that I'm off work, but not good that we'll be away! I'll see if I can change it....

Cromwell Hawes is beautiful - I'm quite jealous, enjoy x
