    I have done pretty much nothing this week (well, one load of washing/drying - which still needs ironing/putting away) and emptied the DW. I've been trying to rest but still feel cr*p. I tried to go to work this morning, but got half dressed and then realised it wasn't a good idea. So I've been working from home, but I HAVE to go in tomorrow afternoon and Friday, so I'm really hoping I feel alot better than I do now. I don't have TIME to be ill!

    Well done to those who are managing to keep on top of things, get well vibes for the poorlies, good luck vibes for those who need them, and welcome to the newbies.

    The good news is, the house doesn't appear to be getting any dirtier/messier as I'm commuting between the bedroom and study with occasional trips to the kitchen & bathroom!

    This weekend I'll be dismantling my bed and giving my bedroom a deep clean, and then my dad may be coming back the following weekend to finish off my utility room!

    Think I might go and have a bath now... catch up with you all later.

    I would love the bird glass decoration thingies if you want to declutter them, pm me your address so I can send you postage money. Thank you.

    I thought you lot would think I was nuts, writing about birds flying into my clean windows!!:rotfl:

    I'll turf them out and wing them on their way. No postage refund required. And no - you're not nuts. It happens to others. They leave a tragically beautiful snow angel type impression on the glass don't they!

    And I'm already losing the will to live with trying to get buildings insurance quotes. I might just have to stick my head in a pile of poo. It would be marginally more satisfying...
