Peter is off brrier nursing, so today we all went to the hospial to spend an afternoon there. but after about an hour os so dd1 complained she felt ill. she was burning up, and very sleepy. so we quickly left the unit, and went to the canteen for a drink (peters mum had just ordered him a pizza and was waiting for it to be delivered). she is still dopey and hot now.

why why why? we havent been in all week as 1st week back and the kdis are tired after school/pre-school. arrrrrrrrrgh!!

Because they're programmed to scan the future for potential Difficult Times and save their illnesses for then.
