    Just go gently and slowly..can you all have a snooze this pm (I am am no kids or flu!!) to recoup or a quiet afternoon with a dvd with the kids on the sofa....I am sure people will be understanding of the cj being late and if you feel bad just send it on and forward your pages later so at least thats a bit of pressure off you...Do you have to do the marking today or can it wait a day or two until you are feeling better and less sleep deprived?
    Re craft stuff woman from church (whose eyes lit up when I said I wanted to flog my scrapping stuff!) will hopefully buy most of it in a job lot...I dont use it and cant make money from it so will do the things that do make money and I enjoy like selling jam and making beady things! Plus have told myself that I am not allowed to buy stuff until I've used what I have....its lethal and all sence goes out the window when I'm in a craft shop so makes sence not to enter...although have got to take pliers back so will hopefully do it blindfolded and with tunnel vision!!

    Lol!! :) Imagining you going in blindfolded lol!!

    Well, I've recovered somewhat - am quite hardy I think :) and so have tidied some more and also thanks to Seaxwyn and a little no-procrastination challenge - have got ALL my thank you cards done - these usually drag on til feb :D

    So onwards yet more - marking and CJs to do - I think it's manageable. Sophia is worse however, and I have a feeling I won't be going to work tomorrow :( which is bad as it always results in more work. Ah well. She's too ill to make fairy cakes, so I KNOW she's really ill!!

    Thats a shame that Sophia is not feeling any better - can you get a doctor to come out to her today, or get her to a walk-in NHS centre?

    Even if she hasn't directly been in contact with anyone with slapped-cheek, you may have picked up the virus and passed it on without it affecting you in the same way?

    Hi Sea, hope Sophia starts to feel a little better soon.

    A bit off topic here...but were you looking for a fish tank last year, it does feel funny typing that, not sure if it was you or Seaxwyn that I saw on the pets board :confused:
