Oooooh! Nasty! Poor little devil you!

Katie does seem to have grown out of it thankfully
I can't think of anything worse! I can still remember how painful it was.

Yes Zoe eventually grew out of it too, but on the odd occasion she'll feel out of sorts but knows what works for her now. I can't remember why we have tonsils..are they a filter or something. I know that the appendix is useless and surplus to requirements...the good Lord must have had bits left over when he made us! I'm waffling so I'll shut up now. Have a nice evening all.xxx
