    Had a much better night with a drugged baby lol.. I think it was actually the steroids that did most good.. AB's haven't had time to work but reducing the inflammation in the airways meant she could breathe better and the mucus was more mobile.

    posi-vibes, hugs and spoons to L-L today.

    Am not going to work today - am going to the dentist instead! Oh the joys!

    DS uniform washed and on the line.

    Next load in!

    DS came back from the gym last night and headed to bed with a headache....in doing so he missed the Apprentice which is very unusual. I can hear him laughing upstairs, which tells me he's feeling a bit better....
