      On a lighter note I  used to have a notice on the board behind my desk at work it read:

      "I thought I  saw a light at the end of the tunnel but it was just some bugger with a torch bringing me more work"

      in a sense that's our lot in as much we think it's all going so well and then we get a setback

    Hi Ruth, you are obviously almost a neighbour of mine unless you had travelled to St Anne's.  

    Onwards and upwards.
