Hi Sara
As we have had a long chat together I wont write here but I just wanted to say that you are in my thoughts and I hope to see you in group again.   Unfortunately the forum does seem slow at the moment – it happens as members leave to ‘live’ their lives and move on.  
I have already welcomed you to an F&F group but have just noticed I had not welcomed you to your own thread – so I  welcome you now.
Velvet
