Aargh, the guilt! Seriously, this is the first time I've been able to access the 'Cat for a couple of days and I find this thread. My heart hit my boots, but one advantage of turning up late is that Pat's upbeat message was there too.
All the very best to all of you - Karen, Pat, Tris and all the extended tribe. If the combined benevolence of this place can't help then nothing can! I'll think of you and send all the goodwill I can across the pond.
Karen, keep taking the rat poison and the leech juice; Pat, keep taking the piss! Much love to you both.
