    Sorry, got carried away then. DS is quite a bit better and he's managed school every day this week. It all seems like an awful nightmare now. He still gets pain but he's really improving.

    I'm glad that he is getting much better - as you say, a real nightmare at the time.......I am pleased for you too that things are easier!

    Well it's nice to have made my stake back but I think 30 days of this will drive me more insane :rotfl:!!

    Now I have to deposit five pounds to get the £15 I won out. That leaves me with £10 in my bank account!! :eek: Oh well, if it works that's a tenner i've made today. Thanks Hypno xx

    We're actually managing to sleep through the night now though I still can't settle around 7pm which is when his pain usually started. I should have been playing bingo back then!! xx

    Lol, can you imagine the outrage when you were discovered to be paying more attention to the free bingo tickets, rather than to your small son's severe pain :o

    Muuuum, it huuuuuurts.......

    Not now boy, I've got 3tg!!! :rotfl:

    I shouldn't laugh but sometimes you have to!

    Right, a good nights worth..... £10 out of my account and £20 going back in if it works! You should put yourself on commission! xx

    Thanks everyone - I've made 1/12 of the money needed for DS's trip. I'm going to set myself a challenge to pay his trip with free money - bingo, quidco etc. It might not be much to find but what do you bet hypno finds her 5k first!

    I'm off to bed after the excitement of that win! xx
