Erika! You are a cruel mother ..... even if this is a fine horse!  ;)
 But perhaps it is best that your Boy learned sooner than later that it is always best to make your meaning VERY clear!  ;) ;D :D

Thanks Maggi for another timely kick up the proverbial :o....I've been going to order Martin's Snowdrop Garden for months. Went straight onto Amazon, a whole 80p cheaper than Waterstones and I won't have to battle the smad Saturday shoppers to pick it up from town!

Lesley, that just goes to show how unique you are, you must really stand out from the rest of the mob  ;D

Thank you Helen but it would be overly confident of me if I were to agree with you. ;D ;D

Martin's book sounds like a good choice Maggi.

Can't say I've ever regarded myself as being sensible!

When I was little my mother would say "I want nevergets". For long enough I wondered what "nevergets" were and where I could get them to keep my mum happy. ::)
