Back for one day only
Hello

How are you all? I have a day off so thought I would pop in (using an old account I found that I had).

So what have I missed?

Lots been going on with me - now married (no Cabouchon ring in the end BGB) and we have a baby due in 6 weeks.

Would rather not dwell on my flounce if you don't mind..
