I hope you get back soon and good luck for tomorrow.

Thanks sunrisegirl. Will be interested to find out if the de-icer info is correct.

Incidentally the crew have been wonderful, chatting to us, keeping us watered (and pretzel-nuggeted) and doing their best to respond to requests. The captain has been lovely and has invited any and all children (including some older ones!) to visit the cockpit. The mood is quite good, but I fear for our spirits if things take any negative turns.
