He is trying harder these days not to be a miserable git-the power went to his head a bit when he became a moderator!

Turns out that may be it was a very good thing I cancelled the order. Just found out this morning that we're expecting our first child!! It would have been a hard choice - new X6, or new baby, but I strongly suspect I know which way the decision would have gone!!

Completely stunned at present :D Scans next week to tell us more. Very early days and need to get used to the idea.
