Is it me?
Or do the rest of you mothers do this too?
Last night I finally sucumbed to the gut rot that has been robbing me of my apetite for way too long. It was distinctly unpleasant to say the least and at the end of it I had lost a full half stone (I’ve been keeping an eye on my weight so that if this lack of apetite went on for more than a month I could go to the Drs with some facts!) which is a rather dramatic way to fit into those slightly too snug party clothes really!!!
But once it was all over and I felt safe to leave the bathroom I first cleaned every inch to remove the odour etc (lets not go any further with that should we?), had a stand up all over wash (the shower being full of the cleaning cloths I’d just used….) and asked Duke to make sure he emptied the dishwasher in the morning so I didn’t need to handle clean crocks in case I was still germ ridden (he didn’t but hey ho, we have enough in the cupboard).
This morning I ensured that there was a bucket next to both loos in case Aprilia is next and briefed her in what to do the moment she feels ill….. then phoned Harley to ask him to deal with the slipper shopping as he said he was going into town and in a bit I will phone everyone else that our 24 hour quarenteen may affect.
The cat wouldn’t leave my side all night, Duke went to bed and left me to it 
really hope you’re feeling better today, and Aprilia isn’t next.

Yuck, but better out than in, I guess!! But no, I wouldn’t do what you did. In such circumstances, I make sure it’s clean enough and then just stagger back to bed.
I do hope everyone else escapes, though, or at the very least gets it over with before Christmas! We did have one Christmas Day when DH was in bed ill all day - that was pretty miserable.

yes, better out than in! Just wish it hadn’t left me so rapidly really…. It’s the penalty of having a carpeted bathroom that made me clean, the smallest drop of anything yucky settles in there and stinks the house out
