Hi April,
I'm not sure what may have happened. We did have a problem with our hard drives a few weeks back, possibly you were caught up in that?
I'm so sorry your posts were lost.
Anyhow, it is lovely to have you here. You are most welcome and one of the mods will send you links to help you around the site (I'm on my iPad and have a problem sending attachments).
Please do join in, post away and I hope you enjoy being here and meet lots of friends.
Cindy
