   Hey my mum used to say that too. And I miss her too. She also used to say "Home Jeeves and dont spare the horses." Some of my favourites: "M" is for mother not for maid. Only dull women have immaculate homes. And sorry guys but someone has to say it....

    Sorry all you Echo Heron fans out there. I have nearly finished her first book and I am struggling with it. All nurses can relate to the stories she tells and she writes well. BUT I am finding her a bit much - a little humility wouldnt go astray. For...
