Hi Sarah yes it's so scary how time flies for sure. OH that's so funny you forgot you had seen those articles before but yes they are always good to read no matter how many times we see them. Yes a hug is always lovely and much needed I love hugging my friends and family and receiving hugs too of course. I send you all a big hug on here. It's always very encouraging for me hearing that my posts on here are always enjoyed. I was so happy dawn sent me a lovely message on here last night saying how she enjoys my articles, poems and hearing all about my day and how lovely my weekend with auntie Pearl brought back such lovely memories of her childhood baking with her mum. Oh yes I meant to say it's not very funny when we bang our elbow on the funny bone but it's interesting hearing why it's called that. OH yes I know you will enjoy the normal BB as much as you did the celebrity one and how cool it's following on so you won't get withdrawal symptoms haha. Oh yes I remember Steve posting on here a while ago about a BB fans list I know that will be ideal for you so hope you will be able to join it. I thought of you straight away as I read it. Well glad Geoff popped in for a cuppa but oh dear that's such a shame he and Sue are having problems let's hope they will work it out. Well I enjoyed my yummy chips with fishcake and mushy peas from the chippy and of course having a chocolate filled night and hope you will too. I had that yummy aero mousse and will have some of those mini twirl nibbles with the soaps as well as having my clubbing this afternoon so my medicine in a big way. Well have a lovely weekend and I look forward to hearing all about it. I will enjoy a quiet chilled out chocolate filled weekend. Well enjoy the soaps tonight as I will and of course BB. Love and hugs Clare xxxx Hi Clare. Oh I know time goes so fast and its hard to believe a week has gone already since you were getting settled at Auntie Purls and your folks were just settling in to their caravan and exploring the place. I'm glad you're enjoying your much needed chill-out and have just been clubbing the chocolate kind of course with a good old cuppa and soon it will be time for your chippy. OH I knew I'd seen both those hugging things some-where before but couldn't remember which list it was on I've got a memory like a civ but glad you reminded me it was you who sent it from Mamma's corner which I know you've talked about before. Like you say its always good reading things again and I love hugging you all if not in person by email the next best thing and I especially want to hug Jamie loads and all those soft pinchable cheeks always so lovely and smooth. OH I know its great that BB is starting the day after the celebrity one so I won't get withdrawal symptons before its on again. Shame I haven't found any more fans on here yet but I think some-one sent an email a while ago about a list for BB fans so I'll have a look at that for sure. Well Geoff popped in for a quick cuppa he always keeps an eye on me his wife Sue never bothered with me these days and I think he even feels she has no time for him either its such a shame but I hope they work things out. He's like a Dad and she I used to think was like a Mum until the last few months. Its lovely to have Mums on here like lovely Vanessa as well as lots of other lovely brothers and sisters. After Geoff left I played the melodica for a while and will now have time for a quick shower before the big soap marathon starts. I hope you enjoy a chocolate filled evening to as I know I will. Take care and speak to you soon. Lots of love and big hugs. Sarah xxxxx
