Thanks Helen for the good wishes. I tried to get tipsy but with the whole family together – frank and 2 sons United supporters and 2 Liverpool supporters – lets just say it was not a quiet day :-D.

Frank thanks you all for your good wishes. Don't know whether its a good thing or not but he is slightly tipsy at the moment 🙂 He did enjoy himself and that s the main thing. We had to leave the restaurant a little early – have you guessed – yup United were playing but he continued partying even after the draw.
Thank you all again
Love…
