I had similar happen yesterday - one mindee's parent works in a Private school and they have 2 weeks off for half term, so I didn't have the child last week and wasn't supposed to be coming this week either, however mum had mentioned she may phone to arrange for her to come one day this week so mum could do something with the older children - however yesterday I had Dad phone up, saying mum was in bed with sickness bug and could I have my mindee as he works from home and couldn't keep an eye on all 3 of them and could he drop her round in 15 mins! Luckily although I had thought I would have an easy day with just 2 children, it didn't really make any difference and parent had paid in full for the 2 weeks, so I would have felt guilty saying she couldn't come.

We spend lots of time outside yesterday as I had one who had bad cough, one who had temperature and one with a mum with sick bug - trying to keep the bugs out of my home!!
