  • Hello Everyone! :hello:

    Thank you for all my get well wishes.... again! I think I've used up all my Flylady credit!!

    I'm sitting wrapped in a blanket with a hot water bottle on my cramping tummy. In slippers and a fleece. (cosy)

    DD2's got the bug too, She was sick once in the night, and keeps having waves of nausea, but nothing so far today. She's not feeling dreadful, but obviously having been sick - she's off school today. DD3's better, and back to school.

    :rolleyes: Honestly!! It's ridiculous! I cannot believe how many bugs we've all got just recently. I had visions of opening all the doors and windows wide and letting the fresh air blow everything clean. BBBBRRRRRRRR!!!!!!

    Don't about you all but I'm really missing Toots Is her 'tinternet still playing up??? Is it AnWsMum who's in touch with tootles? If so, could you let her know I'm missing her! Thanks chick.

    No lists in this house today. Mr Sh is off too today. He's not brilliant, but I think he's mostly exhausted. Burning the candles at both ends, and having to look after everyone. He sat down, and within seconds was asleep. Bless. Then DD1 phoned, she'd forgotten her lunch. :rolleyes: So he's had to whizz down to her school to drop her some lunch money.

    Anyway folks, see you all later.

    PS
    Lady L Hope you get good news from your doc today. Fingers crossed.
