healthwise the 5 of them are now ok but i took a turn for the worse so packed my bags and got bus home -son upset but my decision -if i cant look after me who can. ? only home 24 hrs and not any better ,but i didnt want them to go down with the flu that i have.[ the 3 kids live on antibiotics too. ]but i got them all better so with all different ailments it was a big achievement .but at the end I got some lovely hugs from the 2 yr old . he doesnt go to people usually . thanks for for update on board but will have to wait till I can see properly - eyes are swollen - bad hacking cough - high temp off and on  .

 

so to anyone who gets the flu do not think you can get over it easily . 'cos without water and lots of fluids you get dehydrated quickly
