I think I have this too. It came on early this evening and I have had seven episodes of vomitting/retching

I want it to stop [sas] how long did the sickness phase last

Should I stop sipping water as I just heave it back up?

dd had a bug on Friday but it last 24 hours, sick twice, D once
thanks for the symathy, returned to you, DH is looking after dc's but sympathy not there and tbh I think he is struggling to hide his revulsion,

queenoftheslatterns · 14/02/2010 10:17

dh and ds have hardly had it at all (lucky buggers) but i seem to be fine now (thank god)

Thanks queen

[there there you are all going to be fine, everything is going to be alright]

they have all mercifully gone out to rugby, screaming and wailing as they went, wish dh could have calmed them down, but to be fair i think mummy being in bed and v sick makes them feel very anxious that their source of nourishment and love is under threat...

queenoftheslatterns · 14/02/2010 10:27

lol egg, ds was uber-loving while i was ill and obsessed with kissing me on the lips "i want to kiss you though mummy, i need a kiss from you"

I have slept most of the day.

I feel hungry but dare not eat as I know it will start it all up. All is quiet on the southern front at the moment

brandy might be ok, but I do not want to risk anything.
On ribena and diorayte, hot, which is so far not causing my guts to be outraged.

What an awful start to half term

flat coke is the best rehydrator ever.
just stir in a bit of sugar to get it flat.

eggandsoldiers · 14/02/2010 17:56

Christiana, will your dh take the day off to look after the dc's?

I am supposed to be working tomorrow, only day I am working this week.

eggandsoldiers · 14/02/2010 17:57

Mrsc not got any coke, having ribena and dioralyte

I just do not see how I can go in, but it will go down so badly. So much to do and no one at work can really do it.

I am looking after the dc's from Tuesday so I do not try and get over this bug tomorrow then I just will not be able to manage

feel sick and bruised inside, if that makes sense
