    Well it looks like I have swine flu, by going on what my Dr has said after I told him what I was suffering from. So plenty of rest, fluids and paracetamol..and quarantine myself. That shouldn't be so hard as I don't go out much or see anyone anyway..lol

    I must admit I don't feel as bad as I did yesterday although the sweats, aches and a cough is stilla round. And I am still feeling carpe and tired..ugh!! Saying that I feel like curling up on the bed and going to sleep as the paracetamol is kicking in now..

    Pigpen can I be excused from the list this week please.. :) I will do what I can when I am feeling more human, which should be hopefully Friday/Saturday or sooner..:)

    Happy Belated Birthday Frodders, sorry I forgot yesterday and then mean to post when I saw the posts but well my brain wasn't quite with me.. Hope you had a good day :)

    Beki I got your pm hon, and will reply to it a.s.a.p.

    Hugs and gentle snuggles to everyone, and special ones to those that are feeling poorly.

    On the flying front I have wiped the worksurfaces in the kitchen, and washed up the breakfast things. Oh and decluttered a chocolate mousse.

    I have to scrape the potatoes for DH's dinner tonight, and get the sausages out. When I rang DH he said he didn't mind what time he got dinner if I needed longer to cook it..

    I emptied and washed the bins and did most of the litchen drawers. Before I put a question out elsewhere - does anyone know what the best way is to clean silver without silver cleaner? I found quite a few Victorian silver knives etc in the drawers and I was going to clean them up to put on ebay.

    I have done a lot of catching up around the house. Mainly putting things back in the correct rooms. I managed to mop the kichen floor today which is quite an achievement for me. With three muddy sons, DH, DB and two dogs and two cats it won't last long, but is looks good for now.

    Despite deciding I wasn't spending an unecessary penny since I got the shock of finding we had no money. I am going out tonight and it is going to cost £15.00 just for me!! I feel very guilty. I have managed to make more than that on egg selling and Amazon this month so I will try to enjoy myself. It isn't very MSE to go out when you have nothing.

    Natty :eek: at SF and an even bigger :eek: at your DH. Tell him you're hungry and he needs to make the tea... cheeky bogger. :mad:

    Poohbear I know it's not very MS to go out when you're economising, but, you need to feed your soul sometimes, and you've been working hard at not spending, so enjoy yourself. Feeling guilty is a waste of emotion, Have fun chuck, you deserve it. :)

    I still haven't got upstairs to the clothes.... procrastinate... moi?????? I have framed 4 photos, and hung a picture.

    Ok, I am going now, honest..... :o

    Its raining hard and very dark here now. Took my library books back and shopping done. Got DD some shopping and left it on her doorstep. Put a few little treats in for her too. It seemed odd and funny that we were either side of her door talking on mobiles. Its strange but since she has developed swine flu the swelling in her foot has gone down.

    He said what!!!

    Go to bed now and let the inconsiderate lazy bulger get his own dinner.

    I'm with Crafty on this one... he can look after himself Natty (more to the point, he should be looking after you).

    I've done LOTS of filing, and am thinking about what preparation I might need to do for my interview. It's still raining so I can't go for a walk, and the interview is at 7pm, so I won't be going to the gym tonight. Hopefully it will be drier later...
