Ahhhh Serenity,

I'm in tears - a grown bloke in tears!
Tears of happiness for you and yours.

I wish I was half as strong as you.
Puppy's wise words about getting all this in one lump and that the Guy/Gal/Whoever upstairs hanging back stuck a HUGE chiming chord in me as well.

The people who have posted on your thread are simply superb with their kind thoughts in my humble opinion (for what thats worth). You truly are blessed.

Now push off out the way so I can give your younglings a hug from Uncle Mac (not taking over from you honest!). You gotta share sometimes though smile

Huge hugs - off to the freezer to see if I can chip anything edible from the lump of ice on the bottom. Wages didn't arrive. My b&^%$# partner has now started with the "I make the payments on the 28th" not what it should be "your wages will be in your account on the 28th!". I found THAT out when I tried the store here for the books - declined frown Will try tomorrow morning. Soddit!

Don't worry though. Your namesake fishy, Stick, Ashley the big dog and Scrappy the tiddler dog are all fed and watered. I'll take care of myself.

AND I've decided that the W must look after herself!

Gonna pop off to my home here soon to see what's in the inbox smile

More than a few 2 x 4's I'm sure. I'll handle the pummeling.

Queue knee trembling music!

A VERY relieved Mac
