Thanks everyone. I am feeling a little bit better this evening (although I still look like I've been in the sun too long). Deb, strangely enough I didn't feel too bad last night and then woke up this morning feeling 100 times worse

One of the other Mums has kindly offered to take Daniel to school tomorrow - he is completely fine, having had a high temp all weekend too - I don't think the Mums want me in the playground - there were lots of comments about 'the black death' and 'unclean' when I went to pick him up this afternoon
I am really hoping the penicillin has started doing its job and I wake up tomorrow feeling loads better - my boss very kindly phoned me this afternoon to say that even if I was feeling better tomorrow, I could stay off work - um, I will be seeing as I'm signed off by the Doctor
