So Frustrated

I'm sorry but won't be around over the next few days as my back has decided to play up and sitting is bad, crafting impossible.  This happens every now and again since I had an accident in 2001 and broke vertibrae and it always chooses the most inopportune times!   Our stuff from Spain has arrived in England and we are booked to go down next Thursday to pick it up - I hope I'm ok by then, fingers crossed.  Will be back whenever I can.
