Ha ha Dave , that made me laugh ! :-D

Oh Anne, Blimey , go careful Girl . I remember choking when I was ill and was being sick in a toilet. ( Lovely ) It was the one of the most frightening things that ever happened to me and if my mate hadnt've been there to give me a really hard slap on the back , that would've been it !

Glad youre okay, that mustve been such a shock ! xxx
