I saw this over on Stressed Rach and thought I’d give it a go too, so you can find out a bit more about me! ANORAK: Do you have a sad side? I love lists. Lists are SO useful. I make them for everything. I make lists for lists. Hubby also calls me ‘anal’ – I prefer OCD – because everything in the kitchen cupboards has to be in categories, and all facing the same way, etc. etc… BODY: What physical attribute would you most like to change?

Race For Life
Every two minutes someone in the UK is told they have cancer. My betting is, the majority of us probably know one of these people. Or know someone who knows one of these people. Or both.

All children react differently, but he has had a pretty bad reaction, rash wise anyway. Here is just part of it: He also has it like this over his chest, and it’s spread to his neck, face, legs, hands, and feet.

We took him to the doctors today …
