yes, man flu for small folk, he's burning up and shivering at the same time, not nice
, he's just gone off to bed so fingers crossed he feels a bit better in the morning.
:T:T:Twell done on the sofa, dyeing for me is either a success or a complete failure - never a happy medium!Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763

end of may, end of may.... neighbours are REALLY annoying me at the minute. and if DS was ok we wouldn't be in so getting cabin fever already!
So here I am obsessing over spreadsheets again and planning colour schemes... Six months is nothing...is it? I've been on MSE officially nearly 3 years now after lurking for about six months so it'll fly by...Mortgage OP 2026 £860/2000Mortgage balance: £31,763

I find thinking about "the day" you want to arrive, that seems so far away, before you know it - it's today!
Not that wishing your life away is a good thing, but maybe it'll work for you
