IC Congrats to MrIC!! That's good going. Fancy telling me which area of your locality, even if not the school itself? (And is it secondary?) As the thread's vomit expert 
, do stick to very bland food for DD for several more days and little and often is also recommended. We used to stay off dairy for about 7-10 days after a vomit fest -little did we know how close to correct for our boys we were!! You need to concentrate on getting fluids in, rather than worrying about the food and be assured, DD's weight will pile back on as she'll likely have a massive 'catch up' once she is feeling better. Guess the same goes for the grown ups!! Personally, I'm eating but still not hungry and not fancying food (a very bad sign for me!!)
BBB Glad to hear you are starting to feel better. The place you found yesterday sounds great. Think you deserve a few of the treatments 
After hearing that a friend of DH has just split with his wife, having grown apart after 8 years of marriage, has made DH and I sit up and consider what we need to do to safeguard our relationship. As you know, we've had a hard time in the last 22 months and, with little family help, we need to take care I think. Often I find myself grinding through stuff, rather than enjoying it. I know we all feel like it at times, but I am really keen to try and work with DH to ensure that we get snippets of regular time together to remind ourselves why we got together in the first place (and to get an ipad BBB - not a bad idea 
).
Accepts 
and wishes you all a happy day too. I've had a busy Thursday with the boys. I always start it (my only full day each week with both, when I do the 12 hour shift, as DH goes to football after work and gets home as the boys are settling in bed) with such enthusiasm and high hopes and am usually yelling by about 10a.m! Today, DS1 'read' sories to DS2 at the table after breakfast for the first time. I wish I'd videoed it - it was so cute. DS2 sat on the potty and told me, "Mummy, I did monster poo!" and indeed he had, and then we went to a friend's house for play and lunch which was a little fraught but lovely. Even had the stew in the slow cooker for tea by 9a.m, which was prety good going for me!
PA I can't imagine trying to use reusable nappies with my two when they were small. I take my hat off to you! Changing 17 disposable nappies would seem a lot, let alone knowing that they all needed washing and re-stuffing (with or without mushrooms !!)
BG your day sounds pretty grim. Hope you feel better soon. I worked 4 days a week for a month last year and it was hard going. Three days is pretty manageable (and keeps me sane), but it's never easy. If I'm going to my office first thing, I get there and feel like I've done a day's work before I've started. If I'm going straight to a school, I check my clothes for snot trails and then down half a can of diet coke to get myself on track!! And the days when one or both wake in a strop or don't fancy a day of childcare are seriously hard. I hate the guilt of leaving a crying child - still brings a lump to my throat when it happens (now luckily rare -although we've just heard that DS2 will be starting nursery after Easter. Seriously hoping that having DS1 available to see him will help him settle faster than DS1 did).
Have been sleeping in separate rooms this week to try and avoid sharing the bugs with DH. He has the monitors and the boys have been sleeping well (although DS2 woke for 30 mins as I was going to sleep last night, so a bit of a late one, and an hour awake the night before that I dealt with). With that in mind SB, I'm stuffing my fingers in my ears about the full moon - keep it over in Guernsey if you don't mind!!
