So since Friday evening I have been really unwell, abdominal pains, vomiting and collapsing :(
The vomiting stopped sat night but I felt awful all day Sunday and knew there was no chance of being able to work an 11 hr day on Monday so contacted all parents explaining I would have to close.
I decided I could work Tuesday as no more sickness and only 1 child til one but I still felt weak. Yesterday afternoon I started feeling so much better even had some dinner thought I was back to normal.
Today my normal weds mindee is off ill so I'm not due to work until after school however I've woke up this morning with diarrhoea :mad: however I feel ok and still feel hungry so am not sure if it's a new bug or maybe the end of the old one.
However now I don't know what to do, do I let the after school parents down again for the second time this week at such short notice or just carry on as normal? I'm never ill and can't believe I've been knocked so bad by this. I hate letting everyone down and also can't afford to keep closing! I think it's being made worse by having all of my mindees off the last couple of weeks with different illnesses bugs, chest infections, sickness, heavy colds so parents have all had to have time off work already.
What would everyone do in a situation like this? I miss the days of being ill and just ringing into the office to say I'm not coming in and still get paid!!
