Oooh, that's just lovely! Thrilled for you both! Keep the home fires burning guys, you'll need warming up after all the travelling to get together - and I should know. Stay with it even when the miles between you seem intolerable because it is so worth it when you meet the one person in your life who makes you complete.
A special nostalgic snog for Steveg and a huge congratulatory hug for Bernie with love and good wishes to you both.

Today I attended a Remembrance Day ceremony held in honour of the fallen who served in my county's local government. All the employees were invited to attend, but only a tiny fraction turned up to pay their respects to the young men who served King and country in 1914-18 and 1939-45. This saddened me that so few of my generation made this gesture of respect, but I was grateful for the opportunity to make my own gesture.
I've stood at the Menin Gate in Ypres, and at Thiepval, and heard the Last Post with its haunting notes resonating around me. I've also stood in the silence of Delville Wood and Passchendaele, and watched the calm waters of the River Somme flowing, and seen the remains of the trenches; even walked through them and picked up remnants of the conflict in spent bullet cases and knapsack buckles. The silence still holds echoes of the horror which I don't think will ever be erased and must never be forgotten, and to this end I have felt it a duty to teach my daughter the meaning of the poppies and the sacrifices which were made.

Hello bassman and welcome to SH - I hope you have fun in the forum!

You guys are amazing - thank you so much for all your goodwill and your congratulations here in the forum, by PM, by text and by phone. We're incredibly touched.
We have to pass our own congratulations to xxdevil69 and to the magik_s - all the very best for the coming baby devil, and for the son and heir magik! We could end up with our own SH creche at this rate - now who do we know with facilities...?
Poor old Will was at work when I had my first scan yesterday so I had to relay the news by phone -
"Hi darling, it's me."
"How are you; is everything alright?"
"Well, there's good news and there's bad news."
"Okay..."
"The good news is the baby's fine... and the bad news is - your sister was right!"
"You're kidding?"
"No, darling, it's twins and I have the picture to prove it!"
My two little blobs will be framed at the first opportunity as soon as Daddy has seen them. My own father's reaction to the news was, "Poor Will!" Sappho Junior is thrilled and is drawing up a list of names. Could this be a new SH competition - name the Decadence twins!

Well, this very tired Sappho is off to bed. Pregnancy has turned me into a dormouse!
Thanks again everyone!

PS: I know it's a time-honoured tradition darling, but you do have the next six and a half months to celebrate too... but if you're very good perhaps the Sarge will open the GFZ early for you.
Okay, okay!
The news is...
Sappho is ten weeks pregnant. So there!
Mr Sheen works wonders, but for a beautiful shine, try beeswax and plenty of rubbing.

Well, maybe it isn't that interesting after all...
Will darling, will you please put these good people out of their misery?
Mmmm, an excellent opening post, Michael. Your syntax is particularly appealing... have fun in the forum and I hope you meet the lady you're seeking.
Oh, and before I forget, welcome to SH!

Hello Glistening helmet and welcom to SH!
An excellent and thought provoking first post on the forum. I'm looking forward to the rest!
Have fun in the forum,

As most ladies will agree, if you're looking good, you're feeling good, and if you're feeling good, you're feeling sexy. Feeling sexy means confidence and being confident means you look good. With me so far?
Okay, so all that is easy if you're planning a night out or you have a special occasion to go to, but what about everyday? At work for instance? Whether you're in mufti or in a uniform, it can be difficult to retain that sexy feeling in your work clothes.
I work in an office environment generally and I deal with the public so I have to dress appropriately, but I spent so many years as frumpette I'm damned if I'll do the dowdy anymore. So, whilst my skirts are a decent length and cleavage ('What cleavage?' I hear Will ask - SLAP!) and bare skin is kept to a minimum, I pay attention to how I feel in my clothes and my general appearance.
Nobody knows about the lingerie and stockings under the pinstripe suit, but I do and that's what counts. I feel more confident in my outward appearance of efficiency knowing I feel like a sex kitten underneath.
So girls, you know you're a sex goddess under the workgear and it does put a spring in your step during the dreary nine to five! How do you retain your femininity at work, and give yourself the feel good factor - or am I being narcissistic and it doesn't matter?
Opinions sought!

Hello drones and welcome to SH! Does your nick imply you're a hard worker? If so, keep it up! Have fun in the forum!
