    Don't they just!! He's got a team of baby sitters looking after him at the moment, fairly sure he's been spoilt rotten. I just can't cope in the cold air, my airways just seize up. I am much better today, not wheezing nearly as much.

    Still stuck at home unwell, but at least the medicine in kicking in nicely and I can breathe easier now.

    Not much to report, it's been day 4 of nsd, only because I can't leave the house, but at this time of year a zero spend is a huge bonus. I've paid another £5 to my A&L visa, there won't be much off it this month, but more importantly, there won't be anything on it either! I've received another payment from Pinecone, these payments are now going into PayPal, so help towards debt paying for next year.

    Christmas tree is up, lights are twinkling, time to update the spreadsheet....

    Discovered that the instructions with my anti-biotics mean cold water not hot!
    The hot water must disolve the gel capsule extra fast.....made me a little unwell_pale_

    Another nsd, still not been out! Paid another £5 to A&L and really that's about it on the DFW front.

    Bit lonely, missing horse and exex (no need to tell him though!)

    Tomorrow I will feel better....

    Oh piq, only you would drink tablets with hot water!! I am sorry your unwell but that last bit did make me laugh. I tend to take tabs with hot or fizzy liquids when i want them to work quicker.

    Great on the NSD's even if it is because your ill, NSd's are NSD's at the end of the day!!

    Hope you are much better before xmas

    Have just taken another one with cold still water...I do learn :D Unfortunately, this morning's experience has left me a little delicate all day. I will only drink cold water until I finished the course :D

    I now have to decide whether to go back to work tomorrow or not. I know I shouldn't, but I'm bothered by knowing how many people are being made redundant there. It's a no win situation, I go back and feel terrible or I stay at home and worry about my job....

    Still at home.... far too wobbly to return to work. Spoke to my manager and they were very off with me. Am worried, but truly am not well enough to go back to work. Today is the first time I've eaten properly since Saturday. Just so worried about redundancy, they seem to use a strange logic to decide, hope the decision this week is not on attendance levels...

    Still not spending though, so not all bad. Made £1.10 on the scratch cards, 50p on you gov and 40p on one poll.

    Also paid another £5 off the A&L card, I so want to see the back of that one!

    May have to sneak down and see the horse soon - can't have him preferring the babysitters...
