    thank you all, you're very kind folk.

    the puppy stork arrived yesterday so I've a few days off to settle Poppy in. She's making herself at home and winning hearts already. We'll ignore the cat's impressions on her arrival for a little while lol
    she's currently having another kip hence the freedom to post on here :)

    hope all is well with everyone.
