Re: How easy is it?? >Leah

Hello Leah...

Honeymoon period - I never had one of those. The relationship

between me and my band is a bit like the cold war. We are always at

odds with each other.

I honestly can't help you with any of your problems. I can only

imagine your worry at the thought of a leaky port or tube, and if

you are able to eat anything and everything, this has to be a

possibility. I hope and pray for you that this is not the case.

Let us know how you get on.
