well one thing about being awake in the early hours, I have emailed all the people I need o including banks, NCM surestart Dr's Dentist to change my address!

I do seem to get a lot more admin done at 5 in the morning rather than any other time!

Maybe cos its quiet, no TV, no distractions

The little girl who is off to Oman, is a foofer and her Mum is a Army Sgt Major, who not a foofer

Mindee walks in in the morning with foofing equipment and gives me the brush

Yes, that's my reasoning too: rather be off colour now and be better by 6pm Friday 19 December 2008! Yip, I am SO looking forward to a break!

LOL at aGal! Good luck with the foofing

Fingers crossed for me then that my poor dc or mindees don't get it. Better get dd's up. Dd1 will be wanting her finery on (hair and make up done) for her nursery party.

I don't wear make up and i am not a girly girl so i don't know where she gets the foofing around with herself from!!

Hope you all have a good day!!

At least if you are feeling dodgy now, girls, It should be over by Christmas.

I only have one who has had the cold and no D&V, and she is flying to Oman on Thursday night, I am praying she doesn't come down with it in the next two days, can you imagine flying with a child ill like that?

No.4 Glad it was some help.

When little mindee has her nap i will be on sofa with a duvet today and the dd's will watch DVD's.

God i hope no D & V!! The ds's and i were in bed ill with someting the same 2 years ago. Poor DH and DD1 sat downstairs all day alone with no Christmas dinner. Had given all the food to my db and his gf as they were meant to be coming to us

Why could i not have been ill last week when DH was on holiday

NumberFour · 16/12/2008 07:16

Morning!

What is it with all this illness?? I just recovered from D&V only to get a really nasty cold and now this morning (sorry tmi!!) my tummy is less than happy!

So many people off ill...

Oh well, aGal, as you say, only 4 days to go.

Gal, we had that here last week, watch out for the D&V which seems to follow

Hope you can get some rest, think it is a case of Christmas DVDs and lots of sofa and liquids.

Morning!1

I am ill with a fluey type thing. Chest hurts when i breathe/cough.

Parents have said how lucky it is that i can be at home when i'm ill Yeah like i'll get lots of rest then.

Wish i worked in a "proper" job sometimes. You the kind where you drop the dc at the CM/nursery/school and then go home to bed to recuperate?

Ach well i finish up Friday so only 4 looooong days to go lol.

Gosh you have been busy!!
