Sorry you're not feeling well Ali, I just emailed you about coming to see you this week, wait until you feel a bit better though. Sounds like James had a great time, fancy pulling a girl, the first of many no doubt.

We had a party here today and it started to rain just as people arrived and hasn't stopped yet, it was fine, we all just piled indoors but it would have been lovely to sit outside, but it was not to be. Domino managed to steal one jammy dodger, so that wasn't too bad. I still haven't had time to learn how to use the camcorder and promise I won't bring it to our girly night Ali, I don't like being filmed myself.

Travel sickness - maybe it helps to sit the dog in the front seat, Domino always looks through the middle of the seats when she is in the back. She isn't sick but is very quiet in the car and used to pant a lot, this has got better as she's grown up. I had terrible morning/afternoon/evening sickness too Judith, ginger helped a bit, but also eating little and often, eating peaches helped.

Catch up with you all tomorrow, I have had one very busy week and hope to get back to normality again. Happy Birthday to Joseph too Karen, I wish it had been my 18th!
