    Oi! Stop casting nasturtiums about me being awol! :naughty:

    Even if they are hilarious and made me roar out loud with laughter :rotfl: Just the tonic I'm in need of at the mo.

    Nope, I've not got a bun, nor 'messed around with' bolognese in me oven ;) I've just been sidetracked.

    Baby Greying has gone down with a childhood illness. Hopefully they will keep to the 'simple' non-serious version of it - you do have to keep an eye on things as they can rapidly go down hill, but we've our fingers crossed it will work its way through. I'm sure that we all know how rotten illness is as adults, but when you perhaps don't know why something is hurty, or can't tell mumma how rotten you feel, then it seems worse. We've had help from the NHS and for that I am grateful. I don't think we're over the worst, but here's hoping we're not too far away from that point.

    I've also got the moither of a situation in RL that is just dragging on, and i think has become a war of attrition, by the other party. I can't give up - a wrong doing occured and things need to be put right. But when you're dealing with folk who think they're omnipotent......

    Thanks for all your kind wishes and for making me laugh.

    Appreciated.

    Positive vibes and cyber hugs to you and BG and of course DH, I hope the little one is better soon without any complications, such a helpless feeling when they are poorly. Your hassles sound pretty grim, but I hope that other party(ies) begin to see sense so that you can have an easier life, let us know if we need to make little models and find out our boxes of pins:D

    Oh poor BabyGreying - and poor you too as Mums and Dads definitely have the worst of it when little ones are poorly, I think. Hope all turns out well and they are on the mend in no time.

    As for the other situation, Pah, Pfft, and similar noises - well done you for sticking with it and trying to get the right resolution, though.

    And pouring a stiff drink for Mama as sometimes it is just the thing to ease the tension!
