Got all four home today sick with colds. Holly’s eyes are watering, her nose is dripping and she has a sore throat and cough. Poor baby!

Amy slept through the night, only waking at 5.30am. Pity I still had to get up to the other kids who were coughing and needed more Panadol. Anyway, a slow day today is ensured.

Maureen’s operation went well and she should be out of hospital by the weekend.
