well i`ve searched high amd i`ve searched low and i have literally had the whole house upside down but i can not find little mans trunks anywhere.
they seem to have dissapeared into thin air.
luckily his swimming lesson isn`t till last session at school so i am going to have to hot foot it to the sports shop in the morning and hope they have another pair so i can drop his swim bag off at the school.
fngers crossed.
thanks so much for your well wishes.
i am suffering with horrendous heartburn and stomach cramps.i am sick of eating rennies.lol

I love red and blue Christmas cards and was thinking of this stamp today as well, but first did my Birthday card and spent the rest of the afternoon with a book.
