    Default poorly children

    how many of you just seem to have poorly children at the moment my little girl has just over chicken pox and i have now just had to pick her up from play school as she has a high temperature and all my other mindees are coughing or have got a cold it just seems never ending at the moment i think since xmas they have all just been ill she has not done a full week at playschool this year due to illness or snow roll on summer!!!! it does seem very hard going at the moment.

    Same here and me too - although its my own children and not the minded children that are ill - trouble is they are not ill enough to close. the mindees are coughing and spluttering but are also not ill enough to stop at home so the bugs are just going round and round in circles and no-one gets any better.

    I'm just looking forward to the 8th March when I have a week off and then hopefully everyone will return healthy after a week apart.

    i sent one child home a couple of weeks with sickness bug, she was off a week the week after another child came down with it and she also had it nearly a week. last week another mindee came down with hand, foot and mouth so he had a few days off and another one wasnt well yesterday, he was very wingy and wouldnt eat a thing! i suspect HF and M!

    havent had a full house for about 3 weeks!

    Everyone is coughing and sneezing here - if I had a £1.00 for every time I've said "Put your hand over your mouth.........." I'd be a very rich woman!!!!!

    since just before christmas we had

    chicken pox x2
    v+d x3
    slapped cheek x1
    eye infections x3
    coughing etc x4


    I should re-train as nurse. And although children are being excluded as soon as they are ill or show obvious signs of it they still manage to pass on their germs and viruses...
