  • Right, that's it - that's your three: dodgy tradesmen, baby teething & tumbling and illness. No more by luck for the Edinburghers for the next, ooh, 12 months at least!

    On the upside, at least Baby Ed didn't fall in a pot of paint! ;)

    3? Think we're up to at least 15! DD awake from 0200-0500 this morning and I have also succumbed to the lurgy. My food for the day has been 3 slices of toast and 3 glass of coke (liquid carbs!) Horrible cramping, fatigue, luckily I avoided vomiting :eek: Luckily wonderful MIL was able to hobble after DD for a couple of hours so that I could get some much needed sleep. Took DD to doctors, but there's basically nowt that can be down with a virus :(
