House news etc...

Hi there.

All the contracts are finally signed. Well, for me they are. Mr T will have to sign the final contract after the snaglist been sorted and a few other papers completed.
But the girl buying our flat is signed "in" so it's all go ahead now.
We've already ordered the flooring to the house and what carpet to cover the stairs and landing.
The flooring will be walnut, although "only" laminate and the carpet was some stripy thing that was on sale.
I hope it'll look good.
We'll have to sort out the tiles for the bathrooms later too.

It's amazing how much there is to think about when buying a house. All those bits and bobs that in the end adds quite a lot to the expense in whole.

But we're so happy that we now have a family home to watch our family grow.

Here's a link to my face book where I've uploaded pictures from the house.

Time to go back and play with my highly demanding son! :D

Take care!

Another trip to A&E with Leon!

Good afternoon.

This has been an intensive day as Leon got another allergic reaction this morning.
This time to due to a bit of white toast. It didn't even had butter or anything else on but apparently it was enough with just the bread. (Contained soya and gluten so maybe one of those is bad for him?)
He got his first taste of a tiny bit of toast yesterday and that went down well but today when having two small slices he got those itchy white lumps all over his body and face started to swell within an hour or so.
Us being scared to death since last years incident took no chances and called an ambulance straight away.

Anyway, the swelling and itchy bumps slowly subsided without any medication needed but we got seen by a doctor at the hospital and got prescribed some antihistamine and two steroids for Leon's bad eczema.
Next step will be to get a referral to an allergist or dietician for his food allergy, until then all new foods are on hold.
No wonder the little mite only weighs 8,7kg when he's on such a strict diet.

I really hope that the new baby wont be having the same problems as Leon has. Two little scratchers in the family would be unbearable.

Otherwise the day has been brilliant regarding to the weather. Not a cloud on the sky and a perfect breeze of wind to cool you off.
I'm on the verge to become a human gingerbread if I stay out all day.

Take Care and hope you all get some sunshine.
