    Oh dear! Was feeling quite pleased with myself, pride comes before a fall!

    Having had the flu...followed by a vomiting thing....lovely! I have not been anywhere much for 3 weeks and had managed to accumulate about an extra £200, which I was going to put towards my debt.....however...helping my partner swap his van and our car around on the drive...i drove the car into the side of the house!!!!:o

    Moral of the story..don't attempt to drive the day after constant vomiting!!!
    Oh no! That's a shame :( But look on the bright side- at least you had accumulated that £200 so at least you might not be adding to your debt. Hope you are all better now :D

    Oh dear- poor Punky!

    Hope you feel better soon.

    How long have you been ill with the vomiting thing? I've been nauseous and vomiting on and off for a week and a half and the Dr is not sure why. Maybe it's a bug if there is something going around?

    Candi- well done

    Hi to all newbies and lurkers!

    Hi, I had swine flu..was better for 2 days then woke up and could not stop vomiting! ended up in hospital on a drip!!! That was Monday. I have not been sick since then, but still have a bad stomach. Hospital seem to think I came into contact with some nasty bacteria! urghhh.
    Hope you feel better soon!! :o

    Punky- that sounds awful! I'm surprised you had the energy to drive your car into the wall!!

    I hope you're still improving and have a speedy recovery
