Rory - give Simone big hugs from me. Enjoy your coffee.

Bath - enjoy the movie, it looks great. My DH wants to see it too! At least you will be nice and cool in the theatre. Take care down the beach. Glad Niall is better and it wasn't slap cheek - at least I know what it is now.

Ali - HAPPY BIRTHDAY, have a lovely day and dinner with your family. Going back to work for the first time is tricky but you will have it down pat in no time. I was late to work a few times, but luckily my work is very family friendly and didn't mind! We had a strict routine in the morning so it worked well. Great hours too. Tori will really enjoy her time with your mum.

Amanda - poor you and the kids, hopefully the others don't get it and it doesn't last long.

Took Marley to GP and he thinks she has atopic eczema, which she would have been born with. He doesn't think it has anything to do with allergies (thank god!) and has prescribed some very low level cortisone cream. We apply very sparingly twice a day for 10 days and it should improve if not disappear. He thinks it may even clear up in a few days. We can then use the cream if and when it flares again. But to keep skin moist with sorbolene too. Good news all around. I hope it works.

Off to shops to buy 4 yo birthday present, then off to IL's for swim. Hope everyone is staying cool today!
