Hello peeps,
Once upon a time, long long ago I used to be organised and here I am again late posting my DT & GDT card, I really need a secretary, any takers lol. 
I sat in the doctors waiting room this morning so ingrossed in reading my Kindle the doctor had to literally give me a nudge as I was in my own little world oblivious to her calling me. I come back to earth when she whispered "Mandy leave Mr Grey alone, I've just started the second book" lol.
