What a day! Both my kids have had chicken pox in the last 2 weeks! Becks 2 weeks ago & now Jake. Poor little sod doesn't know what to do with himself. I only hope it doesn;t last too long, as he's really uncomfortable.

M6, what a joke! What kind of prat allows 3 sets of road works, all with contra-flows to be set-up on the 20 mile stretch from Lymm to Wigan. Just when you think the worst is over, you run into the next set, more often than not they all merge into one long traffic jam! Well over an hour to travel from the Thelwall Viaduct to the Wigan trun-off tonight. My return trip form Birmingham, usually takes about 2hours/2 hours 15mins, took over 3 hours tonight. Bloody sick of it. Piss poor planning on behalf of the highways agency. If they'd taken proper care of the highways on a regular basis over the last 15 years, this wouldn't happen.
