Liebster award

well the week started with a little man having a nasty bug and then little miss came home full of coughs and colds and generously (not) shared it with mummy and daddy, so we have all been fed up!
We all smell of "Vick" even sweet pupster is giving us all a wide birth!

Anyway..enough of my woes ,during the week a little note appeared in my comments box which cheered me up
