Hi all, glad to hear that some are on the mend but hope Mr Dippy and their DD2 feel better soon.
We leave here on Tuesday. My aunt and her dp escaped from rather difficult domestic responsibilities for a few days and were coming here en route last night to the Lake District - their car broke down in Leeds, but hopefully they'll be able to get it fixed here tomorrow and resume their trip. So it's still quite a full house at the moment.
D got a wonderful pressie from my stepdad today, a very noisy toy fire engine. Despite noises I'm genuinely sorry that we won't be able to carry it back to London ourselves, it's going to have to wait for a lift down when my mum comes to help out in a few weeks.
