    Morning!

    Kiddies away to nursery and I'm trying to connect to work (but its not doing it!!!). So I'll "shut down and restart" and hopefully we'll be ok from there.

    DD still yuk so starting to think she's sickening for something now... Did say her ear hurt, so have mentioned it to nursery and they will call me if I'm needed.

    Will have a very quick fly at lunch although I need to finish early tonight for DS swimming so will be a short break...

    ETA: I'm logged in! Hurrah!

    Away with the fairies :beer:
