Someone comes along a lifts you up !.and i would like to say a heartfelt thankyou to that person DEANNE .  I am sat here a mix of emotions, some laughter , some tears. Laughter because of what she took the time to send me ( a very funny book about dogs , and a brilliant talking gnome card  :rofl; ....and tears because someone took the time to do that , someone i have never met, but someone ,like the rest of the IHD family i share a bond with. So thankyou DEANNE (and watch out for the postman!) Kickstart xxx
