...Chicken variety. There has been an outbreak at nursery and inevitably the girls now have the tell-tale spots.

I'm armed with Nurofen, Calpol and Calomine Lotion. I don't expect to get much sleep. I've re-arranged my working week and dh and I are going to share nursing duties.

3. It gets the dreaded Pox out of the way before they start school.
4. They will be ok for their birthday and Christmas.
