Aww, thanks Nae, Sue and Erin. You're all so lovely! Happy Valentine's Day everyone! I hope you were all spoilt appropriately (or inappropriately , as the case may be). I've received some nice text messages. But wasn't expecting anything more than that, so I'm not disappointed.

Thanks Jo for all the travelling tips and reassurances. Tonsillitis and febrile convulsions, omg. That sounds nightmarish. I'd be a cot case. I'm bad enough now and we haven't even got to the airport. Haven't even started packing yet. Only at the list stage.

Sue, roses sound just the ticket for someone who's feeling a little rundown. That's so lovely of your DF. Hope Bella is over her cold soon and the stye clears quickly. Good luck for Tuesday. Give that XH of yours heaps!

Oooh, Erin, which threads are the nasty ones? I'll have a stickybeak Yes, we have a gorgeous group here, very lucky - I'm so grateful for the friends I've made here.

Yay for the stimulus package getting passed. I, for one, will be happy to receive a bonus payment. Hope it helps the economy as it's intended.

How long does it take for a tooth to erupt from the first signs of a bump appearing? A day or two? Or does it take longer? Does Bonjela make much of a difference? I haven't tried any on Matthew yet. But he's been terribly grizzly today, poor little fellow.
