    Michelle, sounds a bit like what my DD has. We've had 5 weeks of it now, it has been getting better, my GP has referred us to a specialist, but also suggested cutting back on pure fruit juice. Does Charlie drink much fruit juice? I only give LO fruit juice, plain water or milk and cutting back the juice a bit has made a bit of a difference. She was also totally fine in herself, no temp etc.

    My kitchen is beautiful:D Just mopped myself into the corner where the pc is. Got 10 minutes before i have to pick up my monster. Feel a bit piggy as i ate 2 of those scones- for quality control obviously, plus they're quite little. Need to use the bigger cutter next time.

    I have just researched the little tikes sales on ebay and have decided to send it all to nursery if they want it.. if not I'll find one that does! For the few quid it sells for it isn't worth the hassle!

    Some things just arent worth the hassle of selling, especially not with the new breed of retard buyers that seem to be around lately.
