Well, that was nice...NOT!
Worked on the house al day yesterday, stopped for a meal and went back to it.
I started to feel a bit queasy, but put it down to bending and squattting with a full tum.
However, 21:30 saw me rushing to the loo and bringing up most of my tea. Went back downstairs and had to rush back for another go. Then another twenty minutes later, by which time I was sweating like a good'un, yet shuddering with cold, and had a banging headache.
It got worse: each subsequent visit to be sick saw me also squirting it out of the other end
So I'm kneeling over the loo with my @rse packed with paper towels.
I ended up lying on the floor in the bathroom, utterly spent, shuddering with cold, yet covered in sweat.
I finally got to bed after midnight, complete with bucket, which wife had to empty for me three more times.
By 5am, it's all over, but I feel weak and trembly...probably lack of food.
Something I ate? (wife had the same with no ill effects). Or gastric flu?
Funnily enough, (well, not really funny), wife had this amongst her staff last week of term...I came down with it 30 hours after she arrived.........

until I read about the other end. It must be some sort of bug, by the read of your post.

I have had proper food poisoning and it doesn't last an evening. It lasts for a couple of weeks and you can't eat anything and your weight just shreds off. When I had it I think all I could stomach was two yoghurts a day which isn't the best but it was all I could manage

Nope it was a mild dose of food poisoning, I get it like that that, and as soon as the offending article hits my guts it makes it's way back out, I like to think it's my body being good to me, all my symptoms are exactly the same as yours, sick as a pig, headache and cold sweats. Happened to me on the way to Den haag ferry once, me and the lad I was with ate the same food, 20 mins later I was puking my ring out the window of the car, didn't hit him for 2/3hrs by the time it hit him it was all over for me, he spent the night in the toilet in our cabin and I slept like a baby. 
Good hand hygiene is essential, you probably got it off your wife and were more sensitive due to lack of exposure, where as she had already been exposed to it.

An all inclusive holiday in Egypt usually guarantees you'll spend at least 24hours suffering from this. Especially on a "Nile Cruise"...should be called a "E.Coli cruise", nausia, projectile vomiting, squits, cold shivers and fever...everyone was affected apart from an old guy that regularly took swigs of whisky from his hip-flask (or maybe it was TCP 
). Some Antinal (Nifuroxazide) tablets sorted it out pretty quick - can't get it in the UK AFAIK.
Last time I was nearly that bad was when I think I had a dodgy pint of bitter/sandwich at lunch time the once, I don't know if was an infected glass or barrel dregs (they changed the barrel after my pint) or the sarnie, but bloody hell - got home feeling fine, had some food, had a bath ready to go out for the evening, Got out the bath feeling queasy...I had to crawl into bed on my hands and knees. Cold shivers, spinny room syndrome. Felt like I had 10 pints not 1, the pukes followed with me crashing through doorways to get to the toilet in time and staying there driving the porcerlain bus for an hour or so, then having to turn round quick for it come out the other end, crawl back to bed on hands and knees exhausted only to have to repeat it all over again....
Next morning woke up as right as rain?

I like to think I'm usually pretty immune to dodgy food/drink; Dodgy seafood usually results in my gut ejecting it from my **** ASAP with no other symptoms and I'll be fine straight afterwards. I like to think my body has a "dump load if contents are dodgy" function.

we had the norovirus rip through the marquee and our wedding reception
one side were fine, the other decimated
one friend took 2 days to get home on his motorbike (the wedding was in Cornwall)
several people missed flights
H&S executive got involved too (they took a stool sample from my best man, we still have the letter in our wedding file)
eventually traced to an ill baby
ahh good times

Personally, I've never been sick with dodgy food, overeating or with tummy bugs. Well I must have been, but having no memory of it may mean I've hardly been sick due to such reasons. My sickest time was when I conceived my daughter. Five awful months of chundering and feeling to chunder at the sight and smell of the most unquestionable things!
Actually, I've just remembered
that when I was 4, my father was posted in a quiet town with some extraordinarily chivalrous history, ancient fort to it etc. I was hard as nails 
whenever he drove his jeep with us as his passengers in it, up to the fort on some seriously causing twisties; like Monaco ones. One day, I was on a swing in a park on the lower grounds, not on the mighty fort. Whenever I took a break, I would stuff my greedy little mouth with raw peanuts, fresh from someone's farm who my mum and dad knew. I used to love them! Anyway, this overeating made me unexpectedly sickly, it gave me the most horrendous nausea like feeling in my chest! The forceful momentum (I loved swinging hard, like Tarzan!) of the swing made it far worse! 
I had to come off the swing and let the unnecessary amount automatically chunder out of my mouth. My parents got the doctor out, but I knew that my greed caused that. I also realised that I wasn't exactly a monkey to overdo with raw peanuts.
Since then, I don't go on the playground swings and sickly rides, and never eat raw peanuts fresh from the farm.
