So hubby and I have been in Wiltshire child minding for a few days, DILs childminder let her down so she rang us. We live 6 hrs away so quite a journey.  (Took us over 8hrs to get back because of traffic and weather).  Enjoyed the kids but it looks like the previous happy numbers I had seen are now but a distant memory.  While we have been away, FBGs have all been in the high 5s.  Todays was 5.8. I could give lots of reasons but I suspect it is just how it is.  Will be being careful over the next few days to see if numbers can have another downward trend - Time will tell. Cheers folks.
