    Mel - that sounds like what Aricyn was doing before they diagnosed him with pneumonia. I'd take him to the hospy just to be on the safe side..

    If your wool has shrunk from over agitation or a temperature shock, what you will need is a big bottle of conditioner (get the cheap stuff, you don't need anything fancy). Fill your sink with lukewarm water and add half of the conditioner & your wool. Gently stretch the wool back to the right size/shape. Add more conditioner if needed. Once you are satisfied its back to its normal size, hand-wash the wool with your usual wool wash. You will need to also do an extra rinse using vinegar (about 1 tablespoon) to help remove any remaining conditioner that could interfere with the performance of your wool.

    Mel - GP confirmed it with chest x-ray, doubled one dose of antibiotics and had him on another one, plus panadol and nurofen.

    Oh, no Mel you nuffer! The pocket opening goes at the back. :P That's what I meant about a wierd shape, cos the snaps kinda reach around the back (where little hands can't reach as well). Gosh, come out Mehkelti, before your mother forgets how to breathe and walk!! Are you sure of your dates? Is it possible you were a few days out, or are you pretty darned sure of dates?

    No good to hear your little guy's sick Melham. Sucks hey.
    Your little lass improving well Ness?
    And Sez, how is your young man today?
    Gee, lots of unwell kids lately huh!

    How Mateauz going then Maz? Are you feeling more relaxed? Did you find that cowprint minky? I saw some cuddlefleece at Spotlight the other day, and was very tempted just to casually lean against it and have a little snuggle...:P

    Was grouse to meet you today lovely Sal! Hope you got back okay and didn't get too tired out tonight!
