That it's really. Please make me feel better about my plagued household since the start of September. Tell me your nursery/school germ horror stories so I can read while I try and work out who will catch what next and which end it will come out of. Thanks.

I am feeling beleaguered by them at the moment!

DD2 has been alternating cough and snot for about 2 weeks, today she unambiguously has both so is off nursery (they have a policy where you can go in with one symptom but if you have two, you need a doctors note and a doctor administered COVID test).

The doctor has a call back system for appointments and I missed the call back 🤦‍♀️

All this for a cold. DS6 kind of has it too but not very badly, hoping his school won't notice.

When I was a kid we just went in unless we were actually too unwell to be there...

@Aria999 ugh it's awful isn't it! DD1 has recently had a sickness bug and now a cold, cough and sore throat while me and DD2 are battling covid but DD1 is testing negative. Can't wait to see what the lead up to Christmas brings! Confused

Wow @Strusel that's hard work!
Hope you all feel better soon.
