Thanks Jan :o) yeah Crete was good, Alan & I got very drunk for the first few nights (we'll call it unwinding shall we) lol. & yes, I had work to do when I was away - a solicitors site which I started before I left but it ran into some problems (emails & servers) that needed to be sorted so that cost me 140 EUR in phone charges & a lot of stress/worry. actually looking back on the last few weeks I think I could have done without them! :o) but ... we enjoyed the time together & that's what counts. At the moment I've accepted that most of the work stuff is gone forever & just getting on with what I could recover. never gonna make that mistake again though. Had a freak out last night - oh it's just so frustrating & useless. and then i was getting over-tired and started making stupid mistakes. it's funny looking back on it now - I turned into a 5 year old, you know when they're crying & trying to speak at the same time & it comes out kinda blurbering sob words?....well that was me last night at about 1.30am telling Alan that I just "couldn't get it to work!!" lol anyway...all is fine now.. trying to catch up on a week of work & having a couple of Baileys.
