    have a good time at Harrogate...giving it a miss this time round...let us know how it is as it hasn't lived up to expectations the last few times...anyway plenty of stuff to use up and no funds to spend, so that's me sorted!xx

    Unfortunately I'm not going to the show :(. I've been having problems with leg spasms and it's been especially bad this week for some reason. I'm so sorry I won't get to see you there but you have a fantastic time and get lots of lovely goodies :). Debra x
