Thanks for the link Lou :j0 -
do it spudly....I didn't recognise my dad either:o
I've never met him due to family fallings out before I was born. He apparently came to my dad's funeral, but never spoke to me or my mum. He was much younger than my dad, so he's probably 50ish now.
Not sure I'd know what to do with family any more - it's been a very long time. I do watch Heir Hunters every morning and get really jealous at people finding long lost familyIs it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:Loves being a Wonderbra friend :kisses3:
