but i feel ill just before they started. I had high temps, snotty nose, cough, lost my hearing etc etc and have only felt 100% the last couple of days. dd1 fell ill on the 1st monday of the holidays and is on anti biotics and not well enough to visit yet. dd2+3 are just going down with it now, the high temps and coughing have started. So I have managed to visit my dh once and that was on my birthday. I am hoping that dd3 recovers enough for me to visit over the weekend and i can leave them with my mum. just feel so useless about it tbh.
