    Sorry to hear you've had a bug thats that bad :( I get terrified at the thought of what a bug will do to me, with my only-recently-improved immune system ... I use a *lot* of antibac hand gel, and while I'm out and about, I still try not to touch anything (which leads to interesting contortions around lift buttons etc) :)

    Finally broken up. Woohoo!
    Applied for a promotion at current school and had DS's birthday party which ran unusually smoothly (everyone turned up and RSVPd).
    I don't go out with Plops unless trailering is required since DD1 suddenly realised she could ride out alone. It is a freedom but I might go for a cuddle later!

    Any more details on the party?

    Any interest in the house?
