We just arrived home from our trip up North (we live near Albury) and how I'm wishing we were still there, as its cold n wet here, and I see its 28c in Brissie!

When you go into hospital for an operation and you have allergies......MAKE SURE THE STAFF FULLY UNDERSTAND what those allergies can do to you.
