  • boddy Sorry you're still feeling carp. I'm still shivery and snotty with a horrible cough, but I'm snuggled up on the sofa under my blanket. The temperature is dropping here now.... brrrr, fire on I think.

    I'm glad I cooked a big caserole-y type thing for dinner, mmmmm.... warm comfort food!

    DD1's just arrived, great, she can put the fire on so I don't have to get up from my snuggle pit!

    I have had an incredibly unproductive day, both flying- and work-wise... I have also eaten too much chocolate and feel sick. I can't decide whether to give up and try again tomorrow, or try to find a way to get myself moving

    Edit - Pigpen, I'll join your HHC and see whether that solves the problem!.
