    My girlfriend was ill last night with this bug going round so knew I'd have to take her kids to school,in the morning the twins were ill( when I asked if one was ok to go to school she actually fainted) so I took the other one to school but luckily I was working 3 doors down from her house on their downstairs toilet with no-one in so luckily I was able to work and look after them all day....its nice when jobs work out well like that.
