    I only went and forgot to pick up somebody elses child last night. OOps! Feeling marginally better. Now coughing my lungs up at every moment. Friend took pity on me and bought some drugs (medicinal) for me today. Very kind, I will give her some eggs in return. Absolutely freezing here but I refuse to put the heating on. Waiting for everybody to have a bath then I can jump get war and go to bed.

    Hi roxy, not heard from you for a while, everything ok?

    Well had an awful nights sleep, felt like I was waking up every 5 mins coughing. Poor OH is probably shattered this morning after listening to me. Managed to get to the chemists and get some night cough stuff which should help. Also got 3 packets of reduced Strepsils, vile flavour but do the job. At least the children won't eat them like sweets. Managed 2 hours work and now going to collapse in the bath as it helps my breathing.

    Still feeling rough but slightly better IYKWIM. Been up to see the horses didn't ride. It will be interesting next time I go out as some Alpacas have moved into a nearby field not sure what my boy will make of that. My old boy has decided he isn't going to eat hay. This is a worry as he needs to keep the weight on. He will be getting his teeth done in Nov as he needs to have 1 out and my other boy gets his jabs. Also picked a bread order up while I was out. I order in bulk from the bakers and then freeze it plus I get a discount.

    Paid £131 in total off 2 cards. I have also done my Avon order and got it out the way. Thinking about trying ebay again with some stuff. Will try to get some on over the weekend.

    Hi Lucielle. I made your sausage and apple pie today and it was delicious-thank you! I know my husband is going to love it to when he tries it tonight and hopefully DS will love it too. Thanks for the recipe.

    Glad you enjoyed it. Best laid plans have gone awry. Got a couple of extras sleeping over thinking OH would be at home tomorrow to look after them whilst I was at work, he has only gone and got another shift. Think of the money honey. Will have to take them to work with me. Had got tickets to go and see Amy Mcdonald, she has cancelled the concert and moved it to 16th December, which clashes with one of the schools plays. AAAAGH. This was a present for DD1 as part of her Christmas present so I will have to do a bit of juggling there. Pray for good weather as well.

    Phone call from OHs sister, his mum has taken a turn for the worse and having trouble breathing. He has gone down. Not quite sure what to do with myself at the moment.

    Went for a ride to keep me occupied. Had some lovely canters, trouble is my boy is so unfit (so am I) that we were huffing and puffing our way round. He was a good chap as I has to do all the gates, I am not athletic enough to lean over and stay on, so I have to hop on and off. He also managed to walk past the scary Alpacas after a bit of a snort. We'll see how brave he is when he goes out on his own! Got the farrier coming on Thursday, but the money is all sorted for that.

    Just waiting for OH to phone.
