You have a memory like an elephant, you never forget a thing. I'd forgotten about Cody approaching Zoe! Thanks for the new chapter, it was a nice to come home to. Love these two, now I know what it feels like just wanting the two guys to get their act together. lol. can't wait for more.

Thank you, hopefully will have a new chapter very soon.

Couldn't have said it better myself. Thanks Onim.

You're hilarious!! Uh... where are they? In my Gnome that sits on top of tower? On my latest Wrought Iron centrepiece prototype? My lamp? In my stuffed Minion? I know, you have one in the dogs collar, right?

Oh, battered cod. Mmmm... Yumm!! Chips and Vinegar Mmmm...

You should treat yourself, they are still as yummy as ever.

Funny! Because they're delicious of course. Did you really eat the spaghetti, tomato sauce, side of rice nightmare.

Eww! That sounds horrific.

Dear God, I almost wish I didn't read that last part. I didn't know that about the difference between jelly and jam. I don't eat either, so I guess it never occurred to me there was a difference. Jello on the other hand, will never pass these lips again.

I'm with you on the PB&J sandwich also. After all this talk you can guarantee there will be Yorkshire Pudding on my dinner plate tonight. My mouth's watering just thinking about it. It would be nice to have Pat be the one to put Anna in her place.

LOL, I forgot about that tid bit. Lamb versus beef. I'm just used to eating it. I've switched off mostly to Mum's rants about people bastardizing English food LOL. And Yum! Big thick fat chips, I like it with HP sauce. You are making me hungry again

OMG, can you see my post it notes or something?? Do you maybe have hidden camera's in my office? Hmm...

Thanks I'm glad you liked it, it was hard to write. I need better mascara too, it kept running in my eyes. I too am glad some things are finally falling into place and they are getting the happiness they deserve. still a battle ahead getting custody of the baby, but we'll see. Fingers crossed.

It's not a substitute for bacon, it's just a chip sandwich. They were always available at Mum and Dad's when you went there. Or a bacon butty if you wanted bacon. Both simple but scrumptious.

Yup, but with chips, instead of bacon.

I didn't realise I'd done that, you're probably right about the sub-conscious bias.

Thanks bubby, I nearly wrote Yorkshire pudding. I have English parents and my Mom always cooked Toad in the Hole using batter pudding, but only because for some reason my Dad preferred it over Yorkshire Pudding. I have a feeling though it was more about not having a lot of money and it was a way to fill our little kid bellies so we weren't hungry, being that Batter Pudding is heavier. But you are definitely right about the Yorkshire Pudding. I like both, as long as I have something to slop up my gravy with, I'm a happy camper. I might have to bend your ear some more. I'm trying to remember the stuff Mom used to make when we were little, my folks were dirt poor, but they made sure we always had food to eat. I do love bread pudding, not bread and butter pudding. There's also Spotty Dick and Custard, Bubble and Squeak, that were thrust upon us, not that I'm complaining. I find these all mouth watering, yet cheap and filling. Damn! Now I'm hungry. Ooh, I forgot the very important, Chip Butty. PS: I also find it annoying when people make Shepherds Pie with vegetables in it. That's Cottage Pie not Shepherds Pie.

Hi Glenn, It's a shame it took a separation for these guys to realise this. It also sucks the big one that Paddy got hurt in amongst it all. He has come a long way, but we can't forget that he's a young boy who until now has had no expectation of stability and is still frightened what he has now will be taken away from him. I'm sure Paddy liked the name because of Will and Liam calling Bill, Papi. He wanted one of his own and now he's got him.

I like your predictions, hope they come true. I'm excited for the three of them, especially for Pat. He's getting something he's always wished for - Family.

He's just being a protective big brother, ironic maybe. Sexist I don't think so, not really, more protective of family. I've heard many, many, big brothers say these types of things about a brother or a sister. They're just protective of their siblings.

Thank you Jeffrey, that means a lot to me. I'm trying to improve my writing all of the time. I do hope that is showing through with the characters as well. Rick and Rob are really good and help me a great deal with the characters in this story, I owe them a great deal. Without them who knows how this would read.

I too think Paddy will make a great big brother. Pretty sure there's house hunting in their future. Got any idea's what type of place to look for?

Shepherds Pie is good, I grew up with it. I made my Mom teach my husband the proper way to cook it when we got married. So I still get to have it.

Thank you Gomez, I'm glad you are enjoying Ian, Adam and Patrick. I'm working on the next chapter so hopefully it will be ready soon.

Thanks Butcher, this has become my favourite story to write.
