Hi everyone. Sorry I'm so late getting this up. I was under the weather today and slept most of it away. I'm feeling better tonight.

Let's talk as usual...about anything you'd like. Ask questions, inquire about a problem with your shop, or just tell us how things are going for you. We have some great threads since the chat has gone to weekly. I think it was a great idea, as it gives us more time to check in.

I hope some remembered that today is RAK (Random Act of Kindness) Day. If you didn't do a RAK for someone on the team today, please do one on Tuesday.

Alanna - just you stop worrying about this page. Between us, I am sure we will manage. The important thing is for you to go through with the surgery and get yourself really better. I'd volunteer my services, but what with Hedgehogs and my responsibilities on other teams, can't take on something else. But who ever does take it on, be sure that I'll be here as many days as I can make it.

I'm stalled at the moment on the Hedgehogs - because of the photos still not getting here. If the photo guy doesn't hurry, I shall try to take them myself so that at least I can get something up here - but really do need the professional ones for the media bun fight. Seems my offer to see if I can off load here the thousands of postcards he currently has in stock for his former partner's wildlife sanctuary (yup Hedgehogs are involved, but there are other pics too!) isn't sufficient to get him to finish off what he's started on my behalf. I'll give him a couple of days more and see if I can get him to drop off the pics that he tells me have been taken. It's just that he hasn't done anything with them - whatever that anything might be!!!

Meanwhile, I've got two whole families, plus the ones being pictured ready for sale - with one of them off to Alabama on Wednesday of this week at the latest. There was a lot of stuff in the week-end papers about the little guys too, some of it very pertinent to what I'm trying to do - once I've got the pics. So,I do want to take advantage of the current topicality of the animals.

Off to do some RAK's - a bit late for me, but was finishing off my duties on other teams that were having faving marathons, treasury challenges and the like!! Just hope all this work pays off - one day.
