@Zoe7 You are a sweetheart being there for the pea when you are not doing great.

'not doing great' is probably and understatement @Bunniekins - had a very low week and now have another chest infection and a sprained and swollen finger courtesy of my sister's overly playful puppy dog lol... but 'playing' here with you guys is a great distraction

@Zoe7 there appears to be alot of chest infections around ... ahhhh playful puppies what can you do 🙂 I hope you get over both very soon. I agree with the 'playing' it does seem like that to an extent with a serious side to it all as well ... in many ways our forum is for the brave and the bold 🙂
