Sorry to hear that Monster.
Sounds like you're doing the best you can without getting smacky.
Looks like Dana, Limey and I won't get to see John Barrowman on the 9th.
Today is the 3rd and he is still off with what is being rumoured as pleurisy. And as soon as he finishes Panto, he's off to the US for 6 months filming Torchwood - so he has to be well rested. Doing two pantos a day even if he is recovering is hardly counted as rest.
I am resigning myself to it now, as I am resigned to the fact my clothes probably won't arrive in time either

I don't know if this will help with the eventual disappointment or whether I am denying myself four-six days of excitement instead...
