Ali - both my girls have been headbangers when having tantrums, however they stopped pretty quickly when they realised that it didn't get them anywhere and it hurt them I just ignored them and they grew out of it. I know some kids do it a lot longer but it is generally a phase and pretty common too.

With the swine flu, DD1 had it last year but none of the rest of us got it DP and I have been vaccinated this year but I haven't had the girls done. My friend who is a GP thinks I should but I can't bring myself to do it. I think DD1 will be ok as she probably has some natural immunity now. Miss J was exposed to her so I'm hoping that she also has some immunity.
