Full on Helen! Viruses can be such aggressive things, I guess that's why they can be confused with aggressive diseases. Your poor little girl, how's she holding up? Is she cheerful or too sleepy? Praying that things settle down for you guys.

Oh 7:40's a much better time Meg! River slept in this morning, must have been tired from all the mucking about last night!

Maz, we used to get threatened with dad all the time - worked a treat.

Chrissy that's good news about the pension. Hopefully some relief for you guys.

River's decided to press all his musical toys at once! Sounds great. Oh, now he's over here playing with daddy's computer. He stinks, but I accidentally used all the hot water doing various things this morning, so...well, it should be back by now! Off to bathe Stinky.
