thanks for all your lovely messages. We are here! My little girl within 3 minutes of take off started to vomit!!!!! I did not see the bar on the A380 and turned into nursemaid the entire flight!!!!!! She vomitted in the Emirates car home!!!!! She spend most of the night on the bathroom floor wrapped around the toilet and is still poorly this morning. So looks like we will be making the most of the national health service within hours of our arrival!!!!!! Hey ho - kids! The boy plugged himself in and was as happy as larry the whole flight and chatted about all the things he's going to do while his little sister groaned into a sick bag! So.....not the start to our new adventure that I had planned in my head but.....we are in our house, our cases are almost unpacked (they don't unpack themselves like the suitcases in Dubai used to do!!!!!) the first load of washing is on and it's drizzling outside so my boy can't wait to put on his coat and jump on his bike! Feels like we've never been away - how strange!
