	Sharron he has arrived, safe and sound and just enjoying a wee toddy and some black bun to get him warmed up and in the mood. We are going to fit him out with a kilt so he does not feel out of it and OH and his pals have arranged a Haggis hunt for the 2nd. Love Fred and Emma x

	Sharron a sporran can hide a mutitude of things if fixed in the right place. :-D Went a run to Stonehaven last night to see the fire balls, Fred didn't half enjoy himself, got a bit dodgy when he had a go at it though :-0 Sorry Tenerife Sun don't know who you are covering with sun screen but it ain't Fred :-D Emma x Happy New Year all.

	If there are two Freds I am wondering where I will put the other one when they get home. Two pensions,two attendance allowances,two commodes.

	Good luck with that Sharron but maybe you can persuade TS to keep the double!! :-D
