    Jillie, not really (unless you would like an hours peace and quiet in which case, totally yes). Its more important that they get it fitted to tehir car.

    thanks... wasnt sure

    my local council even consider the sitting room as sleeping area where children are involved. so if 2 kids, 1 boy and 1 girl and you have 2bed house....you sleep in the sitting room and they have the bedrooms.

    PP After all of those terrifying births, you're doing it again. You really must be loopy! :p

    not a great deal of choice now.. not going to the local hospital though.. :p

    Re: housing.. our council say different sex children can share until the younger one is 10. Same sex children share indefinitely. no more than 2 to a room though.. before we moved here we had the baby in with us, 4 girls in one room and 3 boys in the other!

    Beenie - thanks for that I might give it a try I love dried fruits, nuts and seeds, and it may help me kick start my healthy eating :)

    jillie - the important thing with car seats is they fit the car, they automatically fit the child as long as there in the right weight limit. The only exception to this is with some phsical disabilities.

    Baby girl is currently fast asleep on the v pillow on my lap, and OH is making dinner. Gonna have to move her soon but she looks so content.

    I agree Krystal. Kids catch and spread around everything going and there was a fair few folk on here ill at the same time, 3's lot for example.
    The deep clean just says to me thats TT being responsible after EH raised possible concerns??
    TT carried out the clean after recieving reports that children were becoming ill, this was before EH had been informed! I have emailed them stating my concerns and will leave it at that. I dont think an apology is too much to ask for? Im not looking for any grand gestures but the fact i had 5 children ill and 1 put into hospital makes me angry that they can cover things up and come out smelling of roses!

    Using the living area is outrageous IMO.

    Pigpen, til the youngest is 10? So you have to have a 3 year old girl sharing with a 16 year old boy?

    I'm sure they said it was when DS is 11, although i saw that on the LHA site so dunno, none of the housing staff know, i keep asking! I've been told 8, 10, 11.

    I am outraged. I could have been out of here by now if they hadn't told her that.

    She'd planned to come back to me and sort it out :(

    I think someone is out to get me :( :eek:

    Beenie, I've just checked my work email and there's an out of office autoreply, meaning that the fool's supervisor has received the email before the fool has a chance to do any damage control :D

    I'm with Sami, there's always going to be idiot parents taking ill children to play centres or sending them to school...

    We had similar when we went on holiday when Charlotte was just a year old. A couple had a small child and a toddler and both were covered in chicken pox and I noticed some spots were not crusted over. I asked if they were still infectious and the lady said she didn't know but didn't want to lose her holiday :mad:

    Charlotte hadn't had chicken pox then, so I kept her well away as I didn't want my holiday ruined if she caught it.
    Here I go again on my own....
