My dad helpfully pointed out to me that as he's had them, and now she has, I'll almost certainly have to go through it all in a few years

Anyway, we're still waiting to hear from the consultant what they plan on doing about it, so fingers crossed
Wishing her well for a speedy recovery Mr Fitz

I have no inclination to post on CUK outside of work time, really, and not at the weekends.

I am very busy with my current plan B, which I spent a fair amount of time on in my summer holiday. And on a good night I spend another 4 hours on it, so I don't want too many more distractions.

And I've proved that I can stay away if I really want to (although not to the extent that Wendigo has managed this year!).

So, I'll probably duck in every now and then, but while I'm on this project it's not going to be anywhere near my peak time of over 150 posts a day.
Ah I see, head down, professional at all times and you'll be ok Faq.

Hope she gets through it well, I'm sure the TPD crowd will all say the same.

Glad to hear they've identified the problem, and I wish her a speedy recovery.

Night all

Evening, NF!

Ah yes, the lovely Katie. Did anyone find out who he really was?

Sorry to hear about your mum - at least they know what it is, though and can start treatment.

Do we still do manly s? Oh, I feel like a newbie all over again. Maybe I should move onto an alternative user - TheWikirMan??
