    Thank you pigpen, toots and soappie:)

    Mudbath so pleased to hear about your son going well. I hope the infection is gone soon. My DS3 was hospitalised on a few occasions with kidney infections so I know how worrying it can be. He has just gone off to college completely fit, we didn't think we would get to this stage when he was a babe.
    Boddy I am glad to hear your GSs are okay.
