    Lots of poorlies here too so a day off. Need to ring work in a minute, not good on week 5 :o

    Hope everyone feels better soon.

    As a minimum I need to wash lots of bedding, scrub the playroom sofa and see if it is salvageable, wash the carpet in there and get the windows open for a bit.
