    Hi, this is here so Toots will notice you and send a personal message to help you out.

    Hope all are well, I think we have Christmas sorted chez moi inasmuch as we have confirmation of arrivals and departures. Sadly, we're cancelling trip to see his Mum and Dad due to dodgy weather forecast for this weekend.

    Hugs, spoons, sticks are in baskets by the door, let me know when they run out.

    And don't forget to wash your hands.... frequently:D

    Hi, Welcome and get a call through to the local fire service (numbers can be found online) they will come out free of charge and install long life smoke alarms to EVERY ROOM that needs one.. rooms with high sleepers/bunks need them in too.. smoke rises so the closer you are to the ceiling the sooner you succumb.

    There is no reason for yourself, your family or your home to be at risk.. they are proven to save lives..
