****! Hope you OK and not too upset by the experience.

Good news on the phone replacement, but rather crap you had to.

Glad you're OK !!!

I like my Galaxy 7 but I've had it for a while now.
Surprised it would be worth that much to someome else. Enough to get mugged over!

Anyway at least you're Ok and I hear the edge is a better model with some features the regular 7 doesn't have.

Hopefully a sign good things will be coming your way again.

Blimey LPH hadn't seen you'd been mugged, glad you're ok.

My smile, it's my daughters 13th birthday today, two things, she said her best friend wanted to stay 12 years old forever.

Secondly, I did an 18hr shift yesterday and got home about 0230 this morning, and I woke up after she'd gone to school. But rather than open her main present she said she'd wait until I was there. She is such a sweetheart

There are some proper scumbags out there and it's sometimes difficult to understand how one person can be so utterly unfeeling toward another person.

BUT, then there are the people who make this world a much better place. Your daughter's thoughtfulness and love for you make me hopeful that there are more like her than the shysters we sometimes have to endure.
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks, it's a nice compliment.

Apart from being a fantastic parent bringing her up properly She's seen what her elder sister is like

Chalk and cheese.

That's lovely Mav, you've obviously done a good job parenting and it sounds like you've ensured a good bond with your daughter.

Ah! memories. My daughter was so sweet at 13. By 15 she was an alien that was surly and communicated in grunts, if at all. 20 years ago but still vivid in my mind.

The Monkey has come home for my birthday weekend, which was nice of her. Oddly, as she's at Sussex U her term has not yet started so technically they're still on Christmas break unless your course has exams.

When my hangover subsides a bit more I'll go and put my new topbox on Hugh. The V46 on there at the moment is a bit too wide and the 34 litre should suit it better.

The elder one is like this, and was like it at 13 and 7 years later

You seem to be hitting the sauce a lot lately Sir Trev, all I seem to recall is reading about your hangovers

I actually drink very little, which is the problem. When I have two pints of Cobra with a celebration curry I feel it bad the following day as my tolerance has gone to pot. Going teetotal is not an option so I either put up with it or drink more to lessen the impact. Decisions decisions.....
