Happy Birthday little knickers (quite cute name !!!)

Back tonight from a week at Butlins, Skeggy, had a great time, brown as it was sunny most days.

Have a great time tomorrow

Hiccy - wouldn't worry about junk food saw a woman on hols giving her 18mth ish little girl a swig of WKD as I walked past .....

Glad you had a good time, Pizza. We'd like to try Butlins one day soon.

DH is taking DS to hospital this morning, just to the NHS walk-in clinic. DS has a rash all over - face and everything. Done the glass test so it's nothing life-threatening, I'm sure. Could be an allergic reaction to something.

Hope he's okay Wot, let us know how he gets on xxx

Glad you had a good holiday Pizza

Yeah I will do. Hopefully it's nothing to worry about. he doesn't seem ill at all so I am not too worried.

DH has rung from the hospital - it is scarlet fever Three doctors saw him and now he has to go across town to the emergency doc to get a prescription if penicillin (sp?). I'm just gonna look scarlet fever up on google - apparently it is highly infectious.

Oh my god Wot! Hope the poor little mite's okay

I wonder if Ben's going to get it now. Do you think we should avoid Knickers party to be safe? When are they infectious?

I've looked it up and it says to keep them away from people from 5 days once you have started the tablets.
Has Ben got a rash or temperature?

Have a look at his tongue too - a red tongue is a symptom.

No, but has i've just looked it up and i think it said it can have a 2-4 day incubation period. I don't want to let Knickers down, but i don't know what to do now. Hope your little man doesn't feel too poorly

It takes around 2 to 4 days to develop symptoms after being infected. If nothing is showing in Ben by now then he is probably ok. Hopefully.

I thought he had been sleeping well for the last couple of nights. I've got it too but I'll survive!
Jon isn't back yet from the emergency doc.
Jon's dad and his heinous wife are meant to be coming over later - does this class as serious enough to cancel?
Apparently you can only get it once and then you are immune.

The emergency doc says it might not be scarlet fever and she won't prescribe anything as he doesn't have a temperature She said he might be ok and the party is a possibility if he seems well enough. What do you think Hiccy?

Just spoke to Mark, and we think because he's still been run down this week from that viral infection, there's a good chance he'll catch it, so i'm going to email Knickers i'd feel terrible if Charlotte caught it

Spoken to Knickers and she said for us not to risk it with Dennis.
How does Ben seem?

oh dear. We'll have to have another party when everyone is healthy again.

bloody good job we didn't go the picnic in Leeds yesterday - we would have started an epidemic

I feel really guilty now. I think might go and cry

I've just sent Knickers an email, i feel pants letting her down at the last minute

Marks worried now if i get it with bumpy!

I know, i nearly sent you a message yesterday morning asking if you fancied us going through together I don't mind driving somewhere different if someone else is in the car Good job we didn't

I hope Ben didn't pass something onto Dennis, he didn't have a rash though This could be all our fault

Wot, would you mind letting Knickers know that we're not coming just in case please? She might be too busy to check her emails, and i don't have her number.

I'll text her and let her know.
Perhaps you should ring NHS direct and ask their advice about you?
Jon says we are both being silly and it's no-one's fault and these things happen with kids. Still feel bad though

Thanks Wot

I know, i feel terrible and Mark's said the same thing, i still can't stop filling up though
