    Morning all
    Welcome to all the new people...

    I had a reasonably good day yesterday and managed loads even though DS has a cold, DD has what looks like it could turn into tonsillitis, OH has similar, and it's only a matter of time before I succumb. According to the Swine flu website we don't have it (no raised temperatures), so I guess that's one bonus.

    Kasm - Hugs for your and your DH. Does he get a debrief so that he can ask them what he should have done in the defib situation.(Let the patient die presumably). As for DD get your DH to tell her to hoover up - that reinforces your position although don't suppose it will make her see how unreasonable she is:rolleyes:. My lads definitely take things better from me that from their Dad so it's worth a try.

    Zoe - don't overdo things or you're just going to collapse in a heap after it's all over.
