    Tia - thankyou for the update, we're all thinking of you. I can't even begin to imagine how horrible it has been for you. Sending lots of get well vibes your way.

    I also went to hotel chocolat with my invite but the whole invite thing was a bit of a con really...still got a free choccy and have given my Dad the 10% off voucher coz he likes to buy hotel chocolat stuff for Christmas. I told him the raspberry block looked nice :)

    Massive hugs Tia and Amber, I have been so worried about her because she and Molly are so close in age and keep imagining how you must be feeling and wanting to cuddle and pet you both. I'm so glad she seems to be on the mend.

    Sorry it was a bit rubbish Gill :(

    Thanks NMS - was talkin about you the other day to my buddy at our local pool - do you still take L to Ducklings? How's he getting on?

    I don't :o The last time we went his eczema was bad and I felt that we were getting strange looks like he had a contageous rash that was going to infect the whole pool. :( My intention was to start again once we got his skin under control, but I have got round to it. I'm going to see how he gets on when we go away in a few weeks.

    I like your 5yr plan, but think you must be slightly crazy wanting another :P But ignore me, I think I'm just strange!

    Don't be sorry - I wouldn't have gone if I didn't have the invite and wouldn't have got any free chocolate or debenhams bargains! Mum treated me to lunch as well - all thanks to your invite :D

    Plus still got the 10% off which my dad will use - it's valid until the end of the month :money:

    JAM - everyone needs a 5 year plan. I've always had one, even when small. Its a bit of a bad habit if truth be told - but I do like to know what I'm planning/where I'm going. I'm not a school years re the best days of your life type of person. I like to think the best times are still to come - even though i'm having a great time at the moment ;)

    our 5 year plan keeps changing at the moment - rather radically, but then I wouldn't be me if there wasn't to be a project on the go ;)

    MFD - I forgot to say congrats to your DH on his job! How do you feel being the lowly female with the lesser paid job? :D are you getting much done working from home or are you spending all day teaching Benjamin lovely cute nursery rhymes? :D He is sooo adorable x

    Thanks for the update Tia. That sounds really scary and I'm pleased she is on the mend. Give Amber a kiss from me.

    That sounds scary too! Pleased all is well and no harm has been done.

    Who sent the sick bug here?! Charlotte didn't eat much tea and has been grumpy this evening and kept crying in bed. Just went up as she was crying again, and both she and her bed were covered in sick :(

    She seemed perkier once she'd been sick and was telling me about getting her hair trimmed when Granny went to the hairdresser this morning and that she'd had loads of sultanas at school. I'd kind of already guessed about that mind :o She's back asleep now and hopefully she'll be fine.

    I don't do sick but I managed to clear it all up without actually being sick myself and only had a slight heaving fit, so I'm quite pleased with myself.
    Here I go again on my own....

    Evening all

    Thanks for comments about clean nappies.. we have had a dirty one since but nothing compared to what we were having, hopefully this is it coming out of his system.

    I have had a terrible evening... I hate colic so so much :( Been on the phone to OH is tears begging him to come home, but its 3 hour drive so pointless.. I always thought that I would have 2 or 3 kids.. now I think I will stick with just the one I couldn't imagine going through this again :(

    Also bit annoyed I got a new credit card 2 months ago and did a balance transfer, set up direct debit to pay 1st payment and so on and for some reason it didn't pay the payment due today, so now I have a charge and it takes 2 days for a new card payment to go through (tried to pay on my debit card tonight) so I will probably have more charges.
