Thanks for all the get well vibes, am pretty much there now, twas a bit vile though. Sadly DH got a mild dose and Freya has also had a stinky squitty bum today, so we are a house of disease and foul smells!
Yes to those that asked, it is Bobbie's birthday tomorrow. We went up to her grave yesterday (the day we found out she died) and put her flowers up so they are there ready for tomorrow. Actually feeling ok about it for now, calm before the storm or relief the build up is done?? Who knows, enjoying the peaceful feeling whilst it lasts.
angel oh my goodness what a "holiday"! Not surprised you feel so wiped now, what a nightmare you've had. Soooo glad the little lady is ok and you got a couple of days to enjoy at least. Big hugs for this week, your plans sound lovely. We will go up and visit Bobs again. Not sure what else, we're all feeling pretty whacked by our bugs.
fan and Kleine let me join the love-in and mutual appreciation!! You are both fab, understanding ladies with big hearts and I am so grateful to have met you and had your support 
babyh I really feel for you with all the cycle stress. No useful advice I'm afraid, but lots of luck with your new CBFM.
kleine what an appalling excuse for a friend. Very cowardly. I just hope you don't get peddled any of the (or accept) shite of "I didn't want to upset you...". Bollocks, what people mean is they don't want to have to deal with our upset & grief so just ignore & stay away in the hope that they can pick up again when we are "over" it. 
fan hope the cold doesn't materialise. Booo to AF, have a 
and here's to next month xx
too Love your pictures of M! She's such a sweetie 
Is it a new sling?
