Well I was just starting to settle into my 'new life' down here, got a job (only part time but its better than nothing and there are great prospects, but more about that another time!), my son was settling into school, just beginning to plod along nicely and Wham! My poor little man now has chickenpox so everything is on hold right now!
Since they started appearing on Friday we have spent much of the time indoors and away from everyone that we moved here to be near! My brothers both have really young kids and don't want them to get it yet which I understand, my Dad has had shingles and has no inclination to get it again so its been just us! The worse thing is that because he is on medication daily it has slowed down how quickly the spots develop so at the moment they are still appearing and not even a hint of a scab yet 
so looks like we will continue as we are for a while yet.......
On a more positive note, I spent my birthday with my family for the first time in about 8 years! It was great, we had a bonfire party with lots of food, fireworks oh and alcohol - only a little of course because as we all know fireworks and alcohol dont mix - it makes them soggy and they wont light
