F

inally (I know I said one more thing one thing ago) I just want to say a massive thank you for all of you who sent me a card for my Birthday. I was really surprised at how thoughtful you are and wish to thank you all. Thanks to the gang for my lovely cake as well. On the day itself (pictured right) I was a little under the weather so had to cover up a little bit but did make the most of my day and was thoroughly spoilt by my family and friends. Thank you all again.

Take care and I hope to see you soon.
