*raises a beerin the directions of various forumites* Thanks guys! Had a quiet dinner in town with the family........but the party's this coming Saturday if any of you are keen! 54 Plymouth Street, turn up any time after 8pm.
Got some cash from the folks as a prezzie which I'll stash away for a trip to the US next year, and my sis says she hasn't got something for me yet as her bf is still at work - wants to shop around with him.
Sadly my darling gf Tiff couldn't make it as she's been in and out of hospital for the past 6 weeks, but she's hopeful to make an appearance at the party

.
Thanks again guys!
