If anyone caught breakfast on the beeb and saw the allergy stuff, that was our family.
The chaps from the beeb came over last night to film us.
I am so proud of my son!
William did a fab job!!

we also have our story on the news site in the health section.

sort of, they wanted us to cook, and I was a bit horrified as hadnt cleaned the top of oven for a while!!

Had to do a quick scrub!!

I hadnt thought of that, had rushed around kicking things under sofa, and brushing hair at the same time, and begging kids to be sensible.
They came over at 5.30pm and didnt leave until 7.30ish. But I pleased with results!

Oh, I saw that this morning and wondered if you might be a mumsnetter.

William's fab! Well done to you all!

the anaphylaxis campaign asked for volunteers to give the press their story.
So, I called and there you go.

CantSleepWontSleep · 27/09/2007 22:05

Well done.

Linnet · 27/09/2007 22:10

I saw a bit of that report and I did wonder if it was a mumsnetter, lol

juliewoolie · 27/09/2007 22:22

ah I saw it and recognised you from School - I used to work as a nursery nurse and LSA at your kids school. Well done you all came across beautifully.

have signed up for the bbc site just to add a comment. Can't believe all the people who think a bit of dirt would make a difference - or the lets feed them all nuts and kill them all comment!

Unfortunately the character limit prevents me saying everything I'd like to.
