    Finally feeling human again after two days lying in bed being sick everytime I moved, that'll teach me for using up leftovers from the fridge thinking they will be okay when really they should have gone in the bin...............
    Not had a chance yet to catch up on here so hope all well, I will start again tomorrow the only things i am doing today is dinner, a small drop of ironing and an hour of studying.
    the kids are off this week on there hols but I am back to work tomorrow (the council i work have have different school hols from what the girls get) so OH is in charge so i think i may print off the list and leave it lying for them to tackle;)

    Oh hugs to you too jjef - there has been a lot of illness going about - evn if your was self inflicted!!!!
    Good idea to take it easy and yes...do a list for them ...you are likely to feel extra tired with not being well and they could easily do things to help and still enjoy their hols.

    Upstairs floors washed (the house smells lovely, as I've used ecover floor soap which has linseed oil it in).

    Four sets of insurance quotes printed off, so now just have to check the details of the top 4 on each one ... but I'm bored, so I'm going to get dressed :o put the washing on the line (its windy, so it should dry quickly) and go and look at the garage and probably decide I'd rather do something else

    Our new recycling centre has no opened, so hopefully I'll be able to at least persuade myself to take a few bits up there so they're out of the way.

    Toots - you're supposed to be WAY to busy to be posting here... or at least, if you do, update us on progress!

    Am dressed, lunched and have done a top up shop on the way back... :) Mince out of the freezer for dinner (lasagne) and another wash load hung up.

    Now I'm going to watch last night's casualty and add up my grocery spends for the month - I lost count somewhere so need to go onto online cc bill and see what's there plus get DH to see what he's spent.

    Take it easy for a few days, food poisoning is rough and drains you completely - you will be really tired for a few days after doing next to nothing... Hope you are 100% back to normal soon...
