Dickin Hox?

So it's our last day at work before a full fortnight off, during which we were looking forward to a nice trip over to Ireland for Xmas, followed by other fun back in the UK when what happens? The Youngling gets sent home from nursery with chickenpox.

While this isn't the worst thing that could happen, it means we're due some extra grumpiness in the lead up to her 2nd birthday, and also that we are unlikely to be travelling anywhere. All of a sudden we are looking at having to get in provisions, etc, that we weren't expecting to do, and the whole shape of the holiday changing completely. Hopefully we'll get to see at least some family over the holiday.

Oh well. All we can do is hope that the Youngling doesn't suffer too much.

Hi Rob, Sorry to hear the young 'un's ill. Hope you all have a fabulous Christmas Day anyway.

Hi Rob,

If our Tiny Person is anything to go by, chicken pox is a doddle at this age. A few spots, probably not even very much itching. She hardly noticed it. Much better to get it now than a few years down the line when it's quite nasty. (Or in adulthood, when it's apparently HORRIBLE).

Have a good one,

Cheers,

Rich.

I can't find your email address anywhere - damn - but a quick comment on your Christmas list. If you want a music player that plays OGG, I can seriously recommend the iRiver H140. Looks a bit dated now, but it's a 40Gig hard drive player with excellent sound quality, and yes - it plays OGG.

I've got one - it's fantastic.

Cheers,

Rich.
