Right, quickie entry. Further to the exploits with Saffy earlier this week - her rash went away but her cold never really improved. She's had a sore ear since Friday, but had an awful night last and was crying with the pain today. Our lovely NHS24 tried to put me through to a doctor but it was 2 hours later when one finally phoned back. Another 3 ( Read more... )

Well Saffy's debut performance as a sheep in the Nativity is NOT going to happen. Her rash is still as bad and her face has started to swell up.

Its been quite a good weekend. Although I decided to brave the shops on Saturday, the Christmas shopping still hasn't been started......I am so uninspired. Sam wants a mobile phone which I am not keen on buying. We have 5 mobiles in the house already, but she wants a video phone. I have five weeks to try to steer her in another direction.
