    I followed one of their lorries home from work last week and discovered that there is a big store in Manchester. Is it worth a trip Natty68?

    Hi Max, if you like asian food, or different food, plus White Vinegar then yes it is worth a trip. :TNo seriously if you fancy a trip out and want to go somewhere different then I would drive over and just have a look around. :D

    Congratulations to Rach

    DS1 is still ill so I am home instead of at work. On the positive side I can get on with the cleaning.....:cool: I have done nothing beyond WM/DW for days and it is just grim.

    HHC 11-11.30 anyone?

    Have you spoken to his teacher? Is there something that's bothering him there, and he'd really rather be home with you. How old is he, btw?

    Yea PenPen it was the teacher who said to me. :o He just said he was really worried and DS2 was saying sore head, sore tummy, feeling tired. He's even fallen asleep in class and sits under the table for awhile when he's feeling tired. Then he comes round and fly's through his work.

    He was very pale yesterday when he came home so at 5.30 i rang the doctors to get the out of hours number, the doctor was still there and said not to worry and bring him in tomorrow as arranged. He had no temp when i rang but it did go up later yesterday evening. Hopefully i'll find out later what is going on. He's 6 years old.

    DS2 now back from eye appointment and he's reading at the normal line so he has 8 more weeks of the patch and then if he can read it again he's finished with them. :D

    Big congrats to Rach and OH, lovely news.
    Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.
    And things go wrong no matter what I do.
    Now and then it seems that life is just too much.
    But you've got the love I need to see me through.
    :j :j
