    hope he feels better soon. My Ds (then 6) was diagonsed with Coeliac disease in Oct last year, if it is its not great but not the end of the world. We are having home made sausage and onion pie followed by apple tart for tea ....

    Just caught up on your diary, hope your son is feeling better soon and they can diagnose the problem. Always very worrying as a parent but he sounds like he is in good hands.

    On the positive note, that is good news about your loan - are you being repaid the PPI and the loan, or just the one? It is so worth challenging them.

    Hugs to you
