Real life took over and I haven't even had time to sort out renewing my orange colour on my name. Sorry guys, I will sort that out soon.
Had a bad start to 2010 with 3 family members passing away between november 2009 and feb 2010 and our eldest son having an accident late January. He was working (alone at 4am) and slipped into an auger while cleaning it down. (No cut off switch by the sound of it). Had the phone call to say he was on his way to hospital and arrived to find that he may loose the use of 2 fingers or worse have them amputated. He has just had his second operation and they are hopeful of saving them but he will have one permanantly stiff and limited use of the other. The sad thing is that his dream had been to join the army and he had passed everything required and had an appointment to complete his physical two weeks after this happened. Needless to say everything has now been put on the back burner and his army career may not happen.
Lads will have to wait as family comes first and I have been having to drive him to appointments etc, but will vent my anger on them soon. Then just to top it all off our eldest daughter's wonderful MIL passed away suddenly a couple of weeks ago and we have had to travel up to Brisbane off and on to be with them.
On a happier note our youngest daughter has just begun her first year at university to study for a bachelor of digital media and is loving it. Anyway, I haven't forgotten my 419 friends and hopefully will be up and running again soon.

Man oh man - that's just dire. I hope that your son's injuries won't turn out to have blighted his future; and I wish your daughter every success.

That's a really bad start to the year Bella.
I hope the rest of your year lightens up for you.

Big hugs
I hope your son's fingers heal well.
Look after your family, they need you.
There will still be plenty lads out there when you feel up to baiting again, sadly they never seem to go away.
