This day quite possibly has to go down as one of the worst ever.

It should have been amazing.

You might have noticed yesterday's post about how I was going to be Panasonic Brit Blogger. How I was heading off to London to an amazing swanky hair salon for a hair makeover and workshop. The type of place I could usually only dream of going. I can't tell you how excited I was.

Last night my bag was packed: purse, train ticket (already brought and paid for) and my camera ready. My dress was ironed and hung. The girls uniform/ Daisy dress was layed out and packed lunches were prepared ready for Daddy.

BUT then….

…..Poppy started vomiting. Literally everywhere. It was awful. It came on suddenly and she couldn't stop. I had to strip her bed, change her and then for the next 5 hours it just kept coming. My poor big girl had caught her Sisters bug! Rosie had been really sick on Friday night but we had wondered if it was something she had eaten as no one else had been ill.

During this time my tummy pains started. I had caught it too! Not good at all. In between being sick and looking after my big girl/ reassuring her she would be okay, I was clearing up the bathroom – a terrible, terrible night.

I realised quite quickly there was no way I could attend today so sent a message they would see first thing. Even if I felt okay in the morning I couldn't risk passing this on. I was devastated.

Then after a horrendous night Daisy started being sick at 6.15 this morning. She had caught it too. Thank goodness for our video monitor, I was quickly able to see she was being poorly and rushed into her. For the next 6 hours she was continuously ill too. Poor, poor thing. She's not been sick since tiny and didn't understand what was happening.

So instead of feeling pampered, I feel as though my whole body has been trampled on.

Unable to rest with a vomiting toddler and pooly big girl, I have had to look after them and clean up all the mess.

I've wiped up vomit, given cuddles, discinfected the bathrooms, made beds on the sofa, fetched drinks and light snacks, given more cuddles, washed and dried all the bedding and remade beds – when all I really want to do is curl up and sleep or sit back and relax whilst my hair is being made over.

I feel terrible.

I look terrible.

What a nightmare.

What a missed opportunity.

I hope my little girls (and me) feel better soon. This has been one awful, awful bug and a pretty horrendous day 🙁

I really am truly sorry Panasonic and hope that all the other bloggers had a fabulous time.
