Gosh Mon! How scary! Hope that never happens again.

Kymmy - the idea of fake trees is tempting - I have the belief that plants shouldn't need my help to live - hence the number that have died in my care. My mum gave me a bay tree & an aloe vera plant at Xmas & I said you do remember what happened to the last bay tree (poor thing died of thirst).

We went to my Step-mum's 60th yesterday and saw her family who I haven't seen for about 8 years. DS1 had a wee accident in his car seat so my Dad took Mr I inside while we got the seat cover off. When I got into the house I had to search to find Mr I - one of her sisters had comandeered him! Vaguely concerned about the amount of smoke residue he may have inhaled over the day, but only very vaguely concerned.

I managed to spill my lunch all over myself, but Mr I didn't spew on me once which is surprising as he normally overflows after a feed and then brings a bit more up a bit later. Today he's back to normal programming!

My sister made a huge black forest cake for the party & I got to take some leftovers home - so good!

Dad tells us yesterday that my uncle who we saw the weekend before Xmas has whooping cough. And DH (the hypocondriac that he is) says oh I was wheezing last night, hope its not whooping cough! I think its just the same cold that DS1 had last week, but that's the way to make a mum worry! Must make doc's appointment for the vacs tomorrow.
