PQ Started conversation Nov 24, 2003
Been AFK for too long - apart from the occasional glance to check for anything urgent and to unsubscribe from a million threads.
Work has become much busier (hence the lack of communucations)...but at the same time friendlier...I'm in a big open plan office now and it's much less lonesome...which I spose means I don't need hootoo so much 
. Just finished off a wopping big project and have a little breathing space.
Just over a week ago Ruby (one of our cats) got run over and died 
...it wouldn't be so bad but the council picked her up and didn't even bother scanning her for a microchip (or recording a half decent description) so it was 4 days before we were sure (and even now I'm reluctant to lock the catflap just in case she is out there somewhere). Panther is coping well...he's started doing all the things she used to do (sitting in the sink, miowing, sleeping on the bed etc etc). He still spends quite a bit of time staring at the cat flap waiting for her to come home though...but he's started playing again.
Looking forward to Christmas, almost all the presents are bought (apart from hubby's) and I'm planning a drive up to B'ham for the day to swap pressies with my mum and sister. Then the week before x-mas hubby and me are going to brave the railways and get the train up to Liverpool
. We bought the tickets on Saturday, expecting a hefty £60 return each but it worked out at £18 each plus a £14 railcard which got us both 1/3 off the normal ticket price
.
Been a funny old time and likely to get funnier but everything seems to be working itself out slowly

Definately planning to lurk and post a bit more often - I started to get the feeling that if I didn't resurface soon I'd never get round to it.
And I've got a rediculously long time off over christmas (from the 13th December to the 5th of January - 3 whole weeks 
) so I'm bound to be around then.
Ruby is missed but in some ways I thikn Panther will get on better on his own...she was always bossing him around and bothering him and now he gets to sleep for 23.5 hrs a day uninterupted 
*trying desperately to remember codes for smilies*

That evil one does give a look of an evil grin!
It is mostly used on the political threads
