Actually, Herby, I'm more of a crisp a holic. never leave me alone in a room with 12 bag pack of Walkers!

Herby - as you may have gathered I meant NEXT weekend!! Had to drive to Stratford upon Avon on sunday for a 3 day course so now trying to catch up on everything.

That's what i was planning Richard. I think i'll start sweet talking some of the horse owners at work!

Yep, that's the sort. I'm really pleased with them, but hubby needs some convincing.

I was feeling left out........

Thanks Johnboy, I'll try out your suggestions. If they don't work, can I blame you?!

I hope you getter a better night's sleep tonight..
