I am sorry it has taken me so long to get round to doing this, unfortunatly having taken a couple of weeks out of work to try and tire out muse i have been extra busy and haven't had time to compose this.

Karen, I hope you had as good a time here as i had hosting you, it was wonderful to catch up and i shall soon be sending you pictures with junior in the gifts you kindly got him

predom, thanks so much for all your help, i wouldn't have known what to have done without you as usual someone i can rely on my love to your family who made us so welcome too

susannah and Bal, many thanks for arranging for us to have such a great time in your lovely city i didn't get as much time with you lot as i would have hoped with the bump tiring me out but was nice to say hello

Jon, thankyou for ermmmmm well I'm sure you did something to help maybe see you back at the house after villa game? hope they loose

Now if i went on to name everyone i really would be here all night and a bath and early night are calling so i shall keep it brief.

Carrie, I was so pleased i got to spend a little more time with you, you are really quite an insightful and interesting woman, maybe there will be time to catch up again in the future, it was a pleasure to have you in my home and to share some of my local sights with you

Herman, Please come over and see me again soon, it was really too short a time and i hate sharing you with so many there will always be a spare bed here and you could try flying to Birmingham to save the 6 hour coach

Phil, Lovely to catch up, remember I'm on the end of a phone whenever

And to all the people at the meet-ups i haven't mentioned, I'm sorry i was tired but it was all your faults for keeping karen and Jon out until the early hours who then came in at 4 am to wake me up leaving me tired and grumpy

thanks again to everyone who helped or just turned up and bought me drinks or gave simon, myself and the bump their love.

too bad i didnt get to go to this one but i just want to say hello and congratulations on the new baby toni.

I need your address, lady! I've got something for you!

Please orgnote when you get a chance.

Hope you are well
