Tanya - I second what Georgi said, definitely worth looking at a day stay . Most people I know who have been seemed to find it useful, and hey, if you were just gonna be at home.... even if you learn one thing hopefully that's useful.

PP - :fingerscrossed: hope it's not chicken pox.

We've got hives this morning. But it's just on one leg so I'm a bit puzzled - but quite red & angry on much of the leg with little white areas in the centre of the hives iykwim. He was a bit fretful but has gone off ok so I figure they're not bothering him too much. The dog was in, and she may have managed to lick that leg (she's told not to lick but mebbe she snuck one in)... but he's been around the dog heaps before and not reacted. Anyone know anything useful re hives?
