Jewellery Box

I was supposed to London today to the Ideal Home Show at Christmas, but after a bad night with William, I felt really rough so I decided to can that idea. Instead I shot down to Welwyn and sorted out a few returns, bought a wedding present for the weekend and got William his main Christmas present from us (ably assisted by a voucher for 25% off at ELC).

Went to bed for an hour when I got home and then got up and decided to start sorting Christmas presents. So now I have wrapped all presents that are not for this house (with the exception of one I stll need to buy) and will be heading to the post office tomorrow with those that need to be sent to Father Christmas. I also sorted out advent calender presents and stockings, so I am well on the way now.

Carys was at a friends for tea and T was having W until 5.15 so I had a bit more time to myself. At 5pm, I was just about to head out to the PO on the way to T's when she called to say W had been very sick and could I come and get him.

Poor boy, when I arrived he looked very sorry for himself, sat on the kitchen floor, holding a bucket. Between us we stripped him and strip washed him. I got him dressed into his spares whilst T cleared up and then I brought him home. He was desperate for food when we got back but I persuaded him to have a bath first, then he nibbled at some dry toast with Daddy while I picked up C. (It was her class assembly today, it was about Diwali and she was Sita with lots of lines. Can't wait to watch the recording.)

W decided he didn't want to keep the water or toast down, so that meant a quick change of sleep suits and sheets, but after that he went straight to sleep. Really hope it isn't what Jim had and that the rest of us don't get it for the weekend. Really hope he feels better tomorrow, bless.
