leakyR · 16/01/2008 21:05

Off in bath now. Dh back from 2 days in London hasn't stopped talking about Kevin bloody Keegan. Not noticing that I dont care!

2nd surveyer was a bit more thorough - here for an hour!

Think G has had an upset tummy. Ate next to nothing at nursery yesterday. Did a big sick this morning after a feed and has done 5 runny poos today (TMI I know but he usually only does one). He's been eating little bits so I'm not too worried. Just hope he sleeps longer than 2 hours at a time tonight.

Sorry about job Octo.

Goodnight all x

leakyR · 16/01/2008 21:10
