Still have the headache, I keep feeling dizzy (not good when you're standing at the top of the stairs or in the middle of crossing the road) and my cough is worse than ever :confused: Since I had a minor nosebleed this morning I'm hoping the cold part of this bug has "broken" as my mum would say and I should start to buck up this week... :rolleyes: I'm taking it very easy today as a result have HHR (Half Hour rests :p ) on the sofa, starting about 9.30 once I've finished this hot drink as I'm freezing!

    Summer it must be unbearable. I thought Valli's idea was gorgeous, and might give you a focus while it's so raw. Wish I had something really comforting to say. (((hugs)))

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Well, I did the school run, and attempted a very quick tidy round. ( got a gas engineer here now, and the place really shows that I've been in bed for almost a week, and DH has only just kept up with feeding us, doing dallies and walking the dog ) in other words it's the kind of tip that a HHC wouldn't touch!!!! :o

    I'm battered beyond belief now. Hot, sweaty and weak. I'm so fed up of this ... whatever it is.

    :coffee: anyone? espresso pot's just bubbled.

    Thanks everyone for you get well wishes. :kisses3:

    Morning all

    One load of washing out, including my bedding.

    Toots - I've done all the bedrooms, the living room/stairs/hallway/computer desk and the kitchen complete. I'll repost the kitchen when that day comes round!

    DH had to start work early today so he was out of the way sooner than usual and I just got on with it. I did nothing except basics yesterday but I've made up for it now.

    Best wishes to everyone that needs them.

    Waiting for Asda shopping now.

    Well this week isn't off to a great start Flylady-wize as nothing got done yesterday, but considering my bedroom and bedding were done last week and previous to that it would be :o:o:o weeks between, I'm not going to panic but start again today and catch up with the bedroom next week.
