Well I am delighted to hear that the FSF brought a little sunshine into your life....that is part of what we try to do here....being an early years person can be a tough job sometimes especially when managing our own lives and those of our families so the FSF is a place to hang out, relax and escape Your Tea will taste sweeter out of the FSF mug for sure Sue x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
