    Mel hope you all feel better soon! It's miserable when you have them all ill, constant cleaning up of bodily fluids, bleurgh!

    SS, can you not switch off your ringer? Post woman shoes won't suit you anyway my dead, hope you and Molly feel better soon. Boo to your OH, mine uses the 'I was sleeeeping, I don't reeeeemember' excuse too. yer right ya git!

    Becles enjoy your weekend, even if you are revising (I actually enjoyed revising if I had peace and quiet, coffee, chocolate and carrot sticks :D)

    Quiet congratulations Mr&Mrs Bruno (and E), the extra crampyness is normal with second/third etc babies, and the pregnancy will be nothing like the first one. Hope it all goes well for you all.

    Caz, I see you're talking in questions again? Nasty habit? Is it a Scoooby?? (and what colour)

    Jeebus-Creevus almighty! brb after I change Ambers bum! :eek:

    How rubbish MM!

    I'd probably book the ferry to Liverpool and then take the direct coach or the train to Leeds - you can sleep some of the way on the ferry (is it one that has berths?).

    It's so frustrating, isn't it? My friend's brother is supposed to get married next weekend but his grandparents are supposed to come from India and they might miss it :(

    MM is it a Merchant Ferries one? They tend to be loaded with truck drivers and such and if you make an eloquent enough plea and follow it up with a few drinks a driver or two might be moved to share their cabin so you can have one ;)

    3, glad you are all feeling better.

    Krystal, really random, but if you were feeding a child through pregnancy, does you milk still 'come in' the same as it usually does post birth? And what about colostrum, do you still make colostrum post birth or is it the usual milk?

    Randomly, Alice was one of the names we chose for Amber, the one I was wanting to go with before I told DH he better hurry up and name the baby or he could go !!!! himself, it was down to Alice and Lydia at that point.

    MM, that sucks! How stupid of them to not juts cancel it till things have gotten back to normal.

    Dilemma, we were going to have a small party for Chris on Sunday, but with them all being poorly (Chris has diarrhoea) I don't know if I should. Amber is fine now btw, bad dirrhoea but nowhere near as bad as she was yesterday, she's had breakfast and some lunch and is now sleeping again.

    I've a feeling folk will still want to come up, and if they just have diarrhoea then maybe I should let them? Just limit it to 2 hours? It's going to be all adults, I've told my friend not to come over with the kids.

    In one way I really can't be bothered, but he's going to be 5 and has been looking forward to being 5 for 3 years!

    Maybe I should just tidy up and decide in the morning.
