Talking Happy Birthday Madmax!

It's not on your profile, but I'm sure Shirley mentioned in a post that it's your birthday today?
Hope you're having a lovely day, and the rain stops for at least a little while!

Thank you all soooo much for all the happy wishes from a 'not so young' young man! Too plonked out now to make replies to you all so I apologise for that

One year into my life now! The last year has been very difficult but with Grapes' advice and friends support we all made it through together.

Escaped from work at 5.30 and came home to a luvverly dinner and my mates at our home.

Again, thank you all so much.

Martin.
