Hi Lotte!  You would have thought (all things considered) the dentist would just book you all in on the same day.  Ah well.

Hmm, blow ups, my brother had one with his girlfriend too - probably just pregnancy hormones.  We are back to Hereford on Friday (inset day) for the weekend.  Really looking forward to it but need to juggle laundry and clothing as then we are straight off to Ireland.

TT - ouch to blister.

JG - Aidan is being a pain, I'm having to ask him to do things so many times that I end up blowing up, then he cries.  He's very emotional right now but getting dressed and undressed are massive flare up points in our house with him.

Ha ha CC - hope you don't forget to go next week!

We are only going Heathrow to Dublin and I think taxi to airport, bung everything on trolley, check it in, hope it comes out the other side then reverse procedure to hire car!  

The blow up boosters look good EF, don't think ours weigh much either but they are a bit of a chore to lug around.

Urgh to hormones being bonkers.  My skin is in meltdown - think its hormones now I'm not bf so much, it did it after Martha but not after Aidan.  The doc then said it was atopical eczema - hopefully its calming down.

Flying to Dublin next week with hubby and 3 kids.  Think we are taking B's carseat and the boosters for M&A, any tips on anything I should be thinking about?  Feel like a novice traveller as I havn't been on a plane for ages!  We are just taking the fold up pram for B.  

Lotte - the thought of packing for 6 makes me boggle by the way, 3 is more than enough for me!

Same sort of thing EF, it replaced NHS Direct which was in fact fairly useful when I used it.  It sounds like 111 have to ask this enormous list of questions regardless of why you are calling - my friend who was trying to find her local surgery had the same nonsense.

Hi Chynah!

aidan fell and cut his chin over the bank hol weekend, it just looked a bit grim to be left so A&E taped it up and its healed really neatly.  I rang 111 to see where I should take him (community hosp or St. Peter's) and was asked the most insane list of questions ever which even went on after I had said, he has no other symptoms, just a cut, where do I take him.  

Caro glad she was ok, blood injuries and concussion are scary!

EF - 30 weeks, hooray!

Karen, sorry to hear about your cat, but probably nicer than having to summon the vet xx

brookie, exciting to be having another boy!  My two are already trying to wrestle like puppies, too cute!

JG - yuk to your ex friends, they sound unpleasant.  Better off without them!
