Sherie, I hope A's appetite improves and he's all better. E's still off her food and apparently off boobie tonight which is a bit of a worry!

Thanks for asking, I get to speak to DH most days which is nice but also a bit tricky depending on when he can ring. However the convos aren't often very deep as there is always someone else in the room at the same time at his end. He's having a really hard time because he's missing E so much, he feels really bad that he's missing 3 mths where she will grow and change so much. They have a bit of a chat to each other on the speaker phone every few days but TBH I think that just makes it harder for him.

Rainy, good luck, i hope the MCHN is worth her weight in gold! I haven't weighed E since we left QE2 either, feeling bad about it because her weight bottomed out and I really should follow up on it. Oh that fire sounds sooooo nice. My lecky blanket stopped working the other night and i was in full panic mode (how will I get thru the night in my vast cold empty bed LOL??) but then it was just the plug had come out a bit. Sorry the doggy is depressed. My Bosty loves the cold weather cos he's such an excellent lap warmer and his services are in demand. LOL Plus he gets to wear his very smart little coat .

Ange oh I am jealous of your snow! We'd been promised a freezing day with sleet and possibly snow but it was a complete lie. It was colder and wetter yesterday!! I turned out ok tho cos we made it out to the markets today (ethiopian for lunch, YUM) but stayed home in the warm all day yesterday.
