Had a really rubbish day at work so not much was going to cheer me up today until....Hovis's Friday Diary! This had me laughing out loud, absolutely brilliant (particularly the bit about being woken up at 11pm). Still giggling now! THANK YOU!

This is so sad, it brought tears to my eyes. I lost my mare through an accident when I was 22, I am 41 now and it still hurts and I still cry sometimes. I don't know why it's taken ages to get over it and why some people get over it quicker than others. I love what your friend said, that...
