    HHOD - it would've been my mum's birthday tomorrow too. DD wasn't due until 31 January so it was a real bonus for my mum to have what she said was her best birthday present ever.

    :eek::eek:my ds will be 40 at the end of the month:eek::eek: HOW did THAT happen

    Happy birthday to your dd:bdaycake:

    It must be so scary for you both each time Mr S is poorly - must bring back so many memories- I’m pleased it’s just a cold !!! man flu though.

    Well done on tackling the shopping list.

    Your 5 am start sounds scary - I prefer one five o clock in my day - teas time :p

    I almost had DS1 on my birthday, but the tinker kept me in labour 26 hours and then came the next day. Now my birthday is a day to get through as fast as possible so it can be his birthday :rotfl: Xx
