    Morning Benben, horrible way to wake up! My husband has a flying phobia and he did a fear of flying course through Virgin, he really thought it helped and is a little happier flying although to be fair he did always fly but was just terrified!

    My son has a Boden bus l/s t shirt, the one with the blue arms, he loves it and it's great quality, you'll be able to sell it on on eBay after if he'll part with it, Boden stuff goes really well!

    I've just gone through quidco and opened a virgin ftse isa, I need to put in £100 a month for 6 months and then I get £75 for doing it from quidco :D Definitely beats whatever interest my savings account is currently paying me ;) There are a couple of other savings offers on thee / topcashback that I'm off to investigate now :)

    Thanks Alibob, I did think about sticking whatever I got from Boden straight on ebay but the bus top would never be allowed on there without ds having it first, but I think you're right, as long as he hasn't worn it out completely then I should be able to sell it on afterwards :)

    Lovely feeling. I've managed to get quite a lot done this morning too (although I'm still not dressed :().

    The sun is shining here too (but it will be raining later because I'm going to clean the car :cool:)

    ben ben just wondering whether anything came of your ds being unwell and you were told chicken pox was going around i think by the exs parents. It is just that we were told our son had had it yet he now has an itchy red rash over his face and i know his nursery have had it.

    no only on his face and looks like a red rash with some blisters it is itchy. he always has a sore lips etc as he keeps picking them.

    hubbie reckons it is just a rash where he keeps rubbing his face but it is very inflamed and sore.

    Nothing as yet PL, but it usually takes 2 weeks from being with the infected person before the spots appear, so around next weekend will be the tell-all time :cool:

    Hope your littlie is okay, its supposed to be better if they get it while they're still young ;)

    Been to see Dad, he had no idea what day it was and was convinced it was the middle of the night and he was working in a lorry depot :o

    Just waiting for the chicken to roast now, then it will be the bath battle with ds, he's in a real grumpy mood at the moment, no idea why, he's been out running around in the sun all day :cool:
