Congratulations Jan: Dieting is probably the top resolution on everyone's list. I am glad that you placed. For some reason Kim N/A'd mine. Not sure where I went wrong. Don't want to complain to her, though.

Oh I'm sorry you didn't place Suzanne - it may be worth asking why - sometimes it can be a glitch it has happened to me several times... having just read your poem again I cant see any obvious errors:-( Hugs Jan xx
