Bit of a duvet day today

9am: Having a duvet and video day today, because we’re all a bit under the weather 🙁

Just to make it interesting, though, J has flu/heavy cold and nosebleeds, L has croup, K decided to go in for a bit of projectile vomiting last night and I’m waiting to see whether my heavy cold with chills and nausea develops into anything more fun 🙄 and how far the green lumps (recurring fungal infection I always seem to get when over-tired and run-down) will spread over my tongue and down my throat. We’re a pleasant lot to know today!

I’m sure I heard Bob heave a sigh of relief as he went out through the front door on his way to work 😆

Isn’t life fun?

8:30pm: Not too bad in the end :cheer: apart from fractious children :wall: and grumpy mummy 😳
J even managed a bit of English (his own idea: he wrote about what Daddy does – must copy it onto here sometime 😉 ), then watched some schools TV (history and geography) while K and L pottered about and did lots of Duplo (including scattering it all over the floor 🙄 ) – and then they all started squabbling and fighting so we bundled up warm and trotted off to the post office, came back via newsagent and a couple of children’s magazines, had a nice plain lunch of cream crackers, Crackerbread and water (just in case!) and eventually decided it was worth the effort to get J to French club, even though we couldn’t find his book.
While he was there we noticed there was a book sale at the school library so K, L and I chose a few interesting looking titles (and I snuck a few back that L had chosen because she liked the colour!) for 20p each 🙂
Got back in time to watch Blue Peter, which J really likes, and cook some rice for tea, with a bean stew which should hopefully stay down, since no-one has shown signs of vomiting so far today…

Oh and somewhere in the day, although I can’t quite remember when, we rearranged the furniture a bit to get the settee away from the radiator now we’ve had to give in and put the heating on and watched a couple of home (water) births from a lovely DVD I’ve been lent – hopefully they’ll be asleep when my next one happens, but just in case it won’t hurt to be prepared!
