Oh dear Cass, Joshua must have done something pretty bad, school kids are terds on the buses all the time. I would suggest avoiding the fight, you are probably just wasting your breath.
I am with you re the P & O. I say leave them offshore until the flu has run its course. If this flu is so damb horrible then I don't know why we are messing around. Unless of course... it isn't really that bad after all. I am only concerned because I have a newborn. DH catches the train to and from work so I guess he is our biggest threat.
I haven't been to any nurse checks or anything with Edward. I hadn't really thought about skipping the paediatrician appointment, it would save some money though. Byron was always fine with his shots so I was never worried about taking him. Hopefully Edward will be the same!
My HAB took longer to come in than expected so I haven't been to get it yet. I was thinking of doing that and a couple of other things while DH can look after the kids tomorrow morning. I am happy to drive out that way anytime though, I used to do it 5 days a week after all. Will give you a call early next week, unless you want to stay home because of the flu.

Both my boys are asleep, I don't know what to do with myself. I guess I should do some chores.
