    Very funny but eeewwww! He was about 60 and rather overweight and although he's gone I can still smell him LOL!

    Anyway all fixed! Seems first problem was never fixed properly so it had only got worse but he assures me its sorted this time.

    DS woke too early and is being a monster so currently watching Night Garden but hes watching it standing so at least its not all bad:rotfl:

    Think I'll take him for some fresh air and get some exercise
