    sounds fab but it's having the £96! lol

    I know but it's realistic if the AS kicks in and you are in a good position with no schools yet to keep an eye out for mid-week etc... wouldn't mention it if I didn't think it was something you could hope to do....:o How much is a Wii? :p

    Did you say she had a snuffley cold last week.....? Any temperature at all over the last few days? I'm no expert but it could be chicken pox..... Maybe you should call the nursery first & see if they have any other cases?

    Or failing that, are you using Frontline on Lewis yet? Cos its that time of year when fleas start jumping & she's at cat-height.....

    No not yet.. although a friends child has just had them but Ash hasn't been around her when she's had it.

    It's infectious for the 2 weeks BEFORE the spots come out & until they're scabbed over.
