... I was wrong and Toby hadn't had this particular bug before. He got sick in the early hours of friday morning!
Fortunately it seems to have been a 24hr virus so he's all better now, as is Amy and (touch wood) H and I have stayed bug-free!
Unfortunately Toby being sick so soon after Amy added rather alarmingly to my already substantial laundry pile
Fortunately friday was windy and sunny - perfect washing weather
Unfortunately Amy had got very upset that her party might have to be postponed because Toby wasn't well.
Fortunately with Toby well again Daddy was able to take him away for the night and the party was able to go ahead as planned.
and 7 little girls had a rather funky and manic time!
So, all's well that ends well and Amy has had a lovely birthday weekend. Thanks so much for all of your good wishes!
PS: Even my wrist warmers turned out well (with just enough wool).
