A house of poorlies
Posted: 25 Jan 2013, 20:56S and L are both full of cold.
L was complaining of a sore throat at the beginning of the week but it never really came to anything. S was also complaining on Tuesday night and on Wednesday said she felt really ill so I let her have the day off school (ordinarily without a temperature or vomiting I would have sent her in but as I was in meetings all day and Mick was in Grimsby I didn't want the phone call asking me to go and fetch her). On Thursday she said she felt better but had a temperature so I kept her off. Both were at school today.
They have both come home completely bunged up, both with sore throats and both coughing. They are now dosed up and in bed, watching iplayer on their ipods.
There is something horrible going round the village - sore throat, cough, high temperatures, dizziness and nausea. When I was in school yesterday the clerk mentioned that there were only 41 children in out of 58. And S said that in her class today there were only 18 of them instead of 34.
So this weekend I think may be a wrapped up in front of the fire, with lots of soup and fluids rather than the going sledging weekend they were hoping for.
I had a bit of a sore throat and headache yesterday but it seems to have disappeared. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed that my flu jab works!
