Linda <:)> from here.
Martina ~ week 10?! (::) Actually, think I will be ambitious and start using "weeks" instead of days (mainly 'cos I can never remember which day I am on?!) :oops: :D Now, weeks should be easier ...as she starts counting ....oh, yes Week 6. Lol, maths is a real struggle for me even when sober? :o Think that right anyway, please correct me if I miscalculated!! :mrgreen:
