Trill, that must've been so distressing, even though you couldn't really have done anything different.

Cass, that must've been so scary too! Glad your reflexes were quick and the car was able to respond in time. Was she just not looking or what? BTW glad you're feeling a bit better, you've had a bad run with teh throatie things, haven't you. Has DH been made to see the error of his ways?

We've had quite a lot of flu/gastro going around at work, everyone I'm working with seems ok though. There was one whole area on my floor that was completely EMPTY bar maybe 2 people, they were all sick. I reckon I've had a brush with flu-flu , last week all my glands were huge & very sore but no symptoms, that might've been my vaccine kicking in with an immune response.
