Oh MissRee, you poor things! My recommendation is to splash out on the Kleenex Balm/Basalm tissues; I used to scoff at DP doing this when he had a cold cos he is such a big girls blouse but it does actually stop you looking like Rudolph, promise. I'd still be happy about the poo, takes a while for it to get properly better, so she's made a good start.
And a virtual-hug-at-a-distance for aethel and family- God, norovirus is grim. Hope you're well enough to enjoy festivities.
I gave DS a bottle of cow's milk too Cheung and he guzzled it. Won't take it from his sippy cup though 
, only water, so we'll stick with the bottles for milk for a while yet.
Xmas at my Dad's was grand, bar nearly being run over in the dark on the way back from a coffee shop (down pitch black country lanes in the rain) and my little sister's boyfriend's parents coming over early, which interrupted our dinner, and his Dad was soooooooooooooo pissed. It was only half 8 and he was catatonic. Poor lad was mortified, I felt so sorry for him.
Xmas here will be me, Mum and DS- DS is being dropped off this afternoon and we'll take him out into our little country town, get a few last minute groceries and pop into a pub (it's the sort of countryside place where everyone goes, so it's not as alchie as it sounds!). On the day itself, we'll unwrap presents, and then DP will come and pick up DS and take him to his parents'. Mum and I will then chill and I'll cook Xmas dinner...which we'll have with Doctor Who 
!
