    This overpaying business is addictive. I have spent the last 24-36 hours trying to think of extra ways to save or make money for overpayments and saving. It is total madness

    Well it looks like I have the pig cold (as I have now named it) I guess it was inevitable as it is quite rife in my office and with the air con etc.I now need to keep myself busy so I don't think of how crap I feel.

    think moving is stretching the imagination I am managing to lie on the sofa and type while ordering my hubby around. the helpline thingy ma bob says i have to take plenty of fluids and stay in. I had to send my dad to my GP to collect a script for tamiflu.

    Awww...bless you. I'm dreading getting struck down with it. But as a teacher I fear it's inevitable...I pray I just get it once and don't spend autumn and winter under attack from the nasty germs!

    That is my hope. I get it once then no more. My parents are keeping my kids for a few days, firstly because I feel awful and secondly because they are only small my youngest was only a year old last week. I really don't want them to get this.

    As I am ill i am spendingthe day sorting out spread sheets and looking at matched betting. I am hoping to list some things on ebay when I feel more human.

    Best wishes with the recovery; I'm starting to get over the fatigue I've felt since "getting better" from H1N1 a week ago.
