Morning,

Didn't get anything done yesterday Husband has bought me an iPod to run with, so spent a lot of yesterday playing with it - oh and going for a 2 min run-ish (which means I started off running, then walked a bit and then ran a bit more till I looked like a beetroot :rotfl:)

Lemanie.. this was only the 7th trip to A&E we have ever had.. though I did once have 2 there on the same day (DS1 and DD1) and one there the day after! (DS2).. tiddles has been once as has Moomin and DD2 went once too, DS3 stopped breathing when he was new.. oh.. we had to take DS1 when he put his hand through the window too.. so this was the 8th time.. not bad really. What we lack in A&E visits we make up for in appointments lol Noone has ever broken anything.. we have been with head bumps/loss of consciousness, cuts and burns.

That's pretty good going, I could probably rival that with only 3, and we only go when absolutely necessary, eg, breaks, dislocations, head wounds - you make it sound so much more chaotic than it really is and once again I am in awe.

And so you all think I am obsessed... the last 2 nights I dreamed you did a poll over who you wanted to run the thread and you picked.. gratefulforhelp.. so I was all upset noone liked me.

Strange how the subconcious manifests itself...:D
