hi rickman,when i was looking for my ds i saw some sports one on a website. it was in america and obviously have to be ordered and delivered, quite pricey thought if remember rightly

Blimey! do they all have allergies....

I've seen the sport bracelets but I worry the velcro wouldn't hold...

are you on benefits rickman, you can get them free or partially paid for via medical alert. sparkly knows more about this, she got her dd1 one as she has a latex allergy.

Don't you need to give your consent and sign a form before children have a general anaesthetic? (or do I watch too much american TV)
