Ive been up to Alnwick Gardens.
Ooh - I'm in your part of the world next week - and I fancy those gardens...what are they like for children? Specifically very bouncy boys..:D
Right DS refusing to go get deponged, but I guess a later night won't harm tonight.
Just sorting dinner so can do the micro ping thing once DH home.
Gordon is still absent but I've been joined by Stella A, and we're getting acquainted over some paperwork....
MoamAlthough no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

no more than it will effect anyone else.. DD3 had CPox at 15 weeks and DD5 was 17 weeks.. they were both premature too.. and they had about 5 spots each and were absolutely fine.. it is only dangerous if caught in utero when it goes haywire after birth.. definitely worrying over nothing!!LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

:hello: Hi everyone
thank you all for you love and good wishes - I promise I was not doing anything I shouldnt have - the staff were more concerned than I was - The pain came back overnight last night so I have stayed here today and will go home tomorrow if I have a better night. there is no point going home in pain! I have had xray etc today and they are fairly sure its muscular/skeletal but dont know what has triggered it. I am more comfortable but then I am full of pain relief:rotfl:
had a quick skim.........
