Tufty, hope all is well with your Mum mate and will be good to have all your girls around despite the unfortunate circumstances, sure you will all help your daughter pull through, also must be fun with an 18 month old around the place too - only seems five minutes since my daughter was that age, she's a summer baby too so her first proper Christmas was at 18 months old too, altho we spent that year in Oz, I walked virtually all the way from Manchester to Singapore with her round the plane !! was a great excuse to pick up a drink on the way past the serving area each time.
Does go so quick tho hey - I blinked and now she's 12 !!
