Cliff Ton 10,008 Posted April 3, 2016 Report Share Posted April 3, 2016 By the way Ashley, I tried to PM you to tell you I'd moved this post, but I got a message saying "Ashley is unable to receive messages". You might need to delete a few old PMs to make some space. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

barclaycon 569 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Hang in there Ashley. Get yourself well.... and keep yourself mobile ! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dgbrit 258 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 Its funny but when people drop off posting for a bit you wonder what happened. I know Mudgie has had a birthday last month and has been busy with his painting. Pixie has disappeared also ? But its good to see Ash back & running around. Watch out for them speed cameras on your new transportation. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Michael Booth 7,364 Posted April 4, 2016 Report Share Posted April 4, 2016 I used to enjoy reading the posts from Pixie but her posts got less and less when she got a job in a pub. She also had a young child to look after. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
