Well what a pants few days I have had health wise. We had a fabulous day at Rhyl airshow, only for me to forget to take my pain meds before we went. So I was in agony by the time we got home. I kinda fell into bed & stayed there or on the sofa for the next two days. managed to get myself moving yesterday. But my damn back, I still can't stand up straight!
Anyhoos, I won't be doing that again lol

I decided to give this card to our Danni, for when she starts back at college next week. She passed her three A levels so decided to stay on an extra year & squeeze 5 A levels into one year!!! She's mad lol
