    Disinfect your door handles, loo flushes DD's toys & your phones.
    Tons of germs lurk there & you are just constantly reinfecting yourselves.

    I believe it is.
    I do it whenever one of us is ill & it stops the germs passing between us all.

    OH thinks i'm bonkers but it does work IMO.

    It's worth a try. Not sure how I'm going to disinfect her cardboard jigsaws and the huuuuuuuuuuuuuge box of duplo will take months to do, lol.

    I used to bung the lego etc in the bath with some tea tree oil & run it over with the shower. Bung it on a towel & it's dry overnight.
    Disinfectant wipes work for the wooden/cardboard stuff.

    Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it. This is just what will happen until all the kids at the playschool and their parents are accustomed to each other's normal flora.

    Just wash your hands, sneeze into tissues and throw them away, and don't cough all over each other if you can help it while you wait it out.

    This is why teachers never get colds, after a while they're immune to every bug out there. ;)

    Wait till they come home from uni with freshers' flu ! My son is postgrad but he recently caught mumps even though he'd had the mmr and booster. I'm still waiting for it to improve.

    I didn't think anybody would take that comment so seriously...
