thank you dee should i delete the thread now
i am still very much a newbie
heather

Hi Heather,

My pleasure.

Never delete a thread......... if someone else was looking for the same family they could see this and contact you, it does happen!!!


Just wish I could have found Robert, but he seems very elusive!!!

I have to do tea now, but I will take a look again for Robert later.

thanks have been deleting my threads but will leave them on now. you have been amazing with all your help.
Will try for robert after i feed the kids.
