Hovering on the edge of puking. Fetch the hydralyte!

I swear by Staminade powder (in the lemon and lime flavour, the orange is weird). It keeps our whole family hydrated and when on special at Colesworth you can get a tub for around $8 which makes 9 litres. It doesn't have as much fancy stuff as hydralyte but it does the job for less $.

I find the icypoles far more tolerable than the drink.

I've got the dissolving tablets. The lime isn't foul, the blackcurrant is actually nice
