  • Happy belated birthday 🎂. Good news about your youngest DD. Hopefully the treatment will see an improvement for all of you and the trips to the hospital will be fewer. X
  • Belated HB WF - glad you had a lovely day although eek to the flooding locally! We've had trees down near home, and looks like around work has also seen some damage - I passed one poor chap looking ruefully at his rather dented car and another photographing his roof with tiles all over the place. (And then bizarrely encountered a large union jack flag blowing along the pavement so rescued that!)  

    Have a lovely week!
