Noni -oooh your poor friend must be beside herself. Let us know how baby is getting on, when you can. If it turns out to be meningococcal you might need to go the dr yourself and get some antibiotics for yourself and Asha, as a precaution. Big big to you today.

And just to vent before I start to digest my own stomach lining - MIL pronounces Will as Wiwl. It drives me mental. Arrgghhhhhh.
Oh Arte - PMSL - you poor thing. Big and I hope you survive alright while they're there. If you had a dire medical emergency could you go to the army base medical centre?

Renee LOL at DH changing Rory's nappy hungover! Aaaah the joys...

Pregpan, wow Thailand for Christmas, that sounds exciting! After gastro, the important thing is to take it easy with the dairy for a bit...maybe leave it for a week then start him on a little tiny bit of yoghurt and take it from there?

Well I'm in the middle of the biggest clean out of DD1's room in the entire history of her life. We've told her we're doing a bedroom 'makeover' for her birthday (she's turning 10, time for something a bit cool and funky) but the deal is we can't make it over when it's stuffed full of cr@p! This rationale seems to working and she is happily discarding loads of stuff (woohoo!) I have also successfully managed to convince her that if she is going to 'collect' stuff (read: junk like lolly wrappers and beer bottle tops...! LMAO) that it has to be keep in one of three designated boxes and if I find any item outside of those boxes then they will go straight in the bin. Hopefully she will realise the effort of putting them in the box outweighs the joy of owning them, I predict the "collections" will fold in the next few months.

Better get back to it I suppose...I hope everyone is enjoying their weekends!
