Hi Everyone, It's me Samantha,

Firstly I have some housekeeping that WE really need your HELP!

Please Check your blogs for Word Verification!
Please can you turn it off! Blogger has changed to this new one above and its terrible you can hardly read the words and for me being Dyslexic its a nightmare!
