Well the fact is, Anna is having to type this in for me because Ruth started by breaking my fingers and I am still so upset! So Diana, Debbie, Babs and any others complicit, thank you very much. After the event, we had a great day with Ruth, husband David and Paul Hilton who directed the crazed woman to our door. Ruth always seem's so friendly in the forum doesn't she? Huh, if only you knew, she marched in with shoulders back, straight faced, arms outstretched literally making a dash for my fingers and smash, bang, wallop - she hit them with the force of an Aussie batsman on an English cricket ball. Chocolate and crumbs all over the kitchen, Ruth has broken my chocolate fingers! Well, what did you think I mean't? We had a great day.....thank you dear POE friends Ruth, David and Paul. Oh and by the way Sue H, Ruth now knows where you lived in Wheatley also, so no more tales about how you used to walk up the lane etc... |

I am so excited that Ruth has visited with you and Anna, too bad Chris, Sarah and family were out of town.

Shame I couldn't take any time off this week. You are right - my workload is tough at the moment. I have no choice though with all these deadlines- the penalties set by Companies House and HM Revenue & Customs are so high - imagine doubling the penalties and shortening the time limits in the grips of a terrible recession, that is exactly what Companies House did! Trouble is all these hours I am putting in and the clients can't afford to pay us. It's a struggle. |

They give our money away to the banks for example, the banks stitch us up with any new charge that they can think of, we lose our homes, the Local Authority most times has a duty to rehouse us/them, the cost goes back to the Government, who takes more tax from us to support the banks...oh what? Doesn't it make you sick? Oh and then there's the third world countries, but hang on a minute. Why isn't somebody making a donation to UK Ltd? It stinks, and things have got to change before we are all sat on the street with our begging bowls!! |

What, Ron's got sticky fingers? Um, err, no thats not what I mean't! But my fingers were broken by that Ruth so there!! |

Be of good cheer. get drunk, it helps to forget them I guess these days. At least any "city" thing they have any more involves wine or liquor of some kind. Wait until Ruth gets back here..we should call her "Finger Crusher" Gregory....laughs* |
