I don't know about you, but this household is a poorly one atm.  We're either coughing or spluttering or too bunged up. Max has a raging temperature and wants me all the time. At the beginning of the week I had stomach cramps and the constant need to rush to the toilet, then that was replaced with a bout of croup.  Max also has it so not a happy bunny.  Mum had to collect Max early from nursery yesterday so that decided it for me I'm taking the day off work to look after them both.

Tom is one big snot bag!! I never knew a child could hold so much gunk.  He's not eaten...honestly the Tom Tom with his reputed enormous appetite has definitely lost it, he hasn't eaten much since tuesday so that really shows the extent off his poorliness, bless him.

So this is the 1st time they've suffered a winter cold and I'm sure there are lots more to come.

How are your los doing?

Awww bless her. Hope she feels better soon.

All my two want to do is sleep and be cuddled.  I guess they are too hot and lethargic to do anything else.

Oh, and I should have shares in Childrens Nurofen.  The amount of medicine I've bought this past fortnight-shocking.  I was so looking forward to our first family christmas in the UK I'd forgotten it came with a price!

Ols seems to have had a snotty beak and an annoying cough on and off for the past month now.  Just when you thinks it's gone it comes back again.  He is also very cuddly and grumpy and waking loads at night so I am a walking zombie.

Hope they all get better very soon.

There is definitely a nasty bug going around.

Phoned work this morning, but I'm needed in.  So it's a case of seeing if mum can take care of the boys while I go in for a few hours to finalise a piece of work.

To be honest, they seem to be over the worst of it.  Both are fully wrapped up and playing in the garden so I can't see it being a problem if I left them in mum's capable hands for the afternoon.

Have a good day peeps.

Hope all our los get well soon.

Aww bless them! Hugs all round!

There are some nasty germs flying around. My mum has just got over a sickness and runny bum bug, my neighbour and her two little girls had it last week too.

Eds just got over his cold but me and my dad cant shake it off. Its stuck in my sinuses and wont come out.

DP's the only ones whos missed it! Thank god - I cant stand poorly men!

Hope you all feel better soon!
