Slodgedad is chuffed to bits

[slodgedad]

What a fantastic pressie I received today.

As most of you know I haven't left the 'rock' for over 5 years because of various health and financial reasons and was becoming resigned to the fact I would never see Blighty again.

I have a significant birthday on Monday and my ideal gift would have been a swanky meal for me and her indoors but;

My son and daughter have arranged with the family in the UK to chip together and give us a fortnight in Yorkshire. She gave me the tickets this morning and has even sorted out permission to fly for Carol. We are flying on Sunday. ((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((

Don't know how much internet access I'll have so all you buggers who keep PM ing me to sort stuff out will have to pick on someone else for a change.:twak::sorry::raspberry2:

Been out this afternoon borrowing warm clothes..........:spin:

[Ecky Thump]
