    hi krys, its been manic as normal, my daughter had her post natal this morning and the baby had her first jabs, which was not nice and then my hubby had to have a diabetic nurse for his check up, go shopping for my daughters birthday tommorow and food in as she want a tea party hehe shes 24 in the morning hehe and then had to go into town to ikea as my son got a blind which was too short, hehe a normal day haha dawnxxx

  • Krys Bailey replied

    eeek don’t mention Ikea – I went to our new branch in Southampton and couldn’t find my way out – place is like a maze and the only way in our out is by lift! I nearly had a panic attack! Never again!!!

    You amaze me the way you always manage to get that unique look or pose which is so fleeting and rare. You definitely know how to click that shutter at the most amazing moments. Another magic moment beautifully captured!
