helen - so glad to hear it doesn't look like anything serious/long term!
I have asthma, have my whole life. So if you need any advice/info, let me know.

meg - it is such a shame when men just don't get that we need a break once in a while as well. Do you have anyone else for support? Hopefully it's all just a little phase the kids are going through. It's hard settling in with a newborn and a toddler. Just keep trying to organise some sort of routine with them and it will eventually fall into place.

I've run out of time on the computer now I'll be back tomorrow for more.
