As many of you pspers know Post image has had a problem the last couple of days. 

This has meant that most of my pictures aren't showing at the moment, but have just found out that i can upload images straight into my posts on here through my computer so i won't lose anything as long as they are on my computer.

So over the next couple of days maybe more but am being positive I will be editing all my posts and getting images uploaded from my computer. 

Please please bare with me i promise that it will all be sorted asap.
