Ds started wth a temp of 39 degrees on Thurs. It stayed like ths over the weekend but was 39 degrees yesterday am, so dh took day off work as I had an important meeting I couldn't really get out of. Dh took ds to doctors where he ran about giggling and doc said that he has a mild virus and nothing to worry about etc, etc and said that as he was now behaving normally, he was probably at the end of it, it just needed to run its course. He is also teething.
Despite ths, dh and I decided last night that I would take today off work as ds slept very little over the last few days, missing naps and waking again at night several times etc, contributing to the general grumpiness as he is out of routine since the weekend (and not loving 6.30 am starts). So we had relaxed morning (still up early, mind!) I phoned in to swap days about. I work a 5 day fortnight (2 days/3 days) so I will work a 3 day week next week instead of the scheduled 2.
Now, ds's temperature is normal. He seems absolutely fine to me. He is having his nap, he is eating well, playing, very alert, no temp etc.
Would it be terrible to bung him in nursery for the afternoon and get my hair done? It hasn't been done since November and is WILD and it's my sister's hen do this weekend.
On the one hand, I feel like it is somehow very naughty to have stayed off work and then do something like this, but on the other, work won't miss out (I only had paperwork to do today and will do everything I needed to do next week with no consequence to anyone else) and, well, I'm not being paid for today now. And I am shelling out £43.50 for nursery and ds doesn't really need to be home with me all day - he is quite well.
I am in two minds, lured by the prospects of not having to hang my head in shame every time I pass a reflection of my barnet and repelled by the naughtiness of it all.

To take "sick" ds to nursery and get my hair done, even though I took today off work?
