So now had to fork out arather large amount of money to get it refilled.Im still livid now.Sorry for moan over , but had to get off my chest!Im awaiting to hear back from insurance to see if i can claim as nearly £700 pounds had to pay out and just before Crimbo!Not Nice...... .It was cheaper to fill tank than half fill,plus VAT goes up Jan 1st had no choice plus way this weather going will need it!

She was a mere 7 months old and as you can imagine the family are absolutely devastated.She was normal heallthy little girl.They wont know the cause until the PM on Tuesday but unfortunately have said it could be cot death.

The album well is stitting here for now and maybe later down the line she could make it into a Memory book.
