    I've washed up and hung out the washing so the kitchen looks much better now. There is still a few days worth of washing up to do despite DH's efforts yesterday, but it's more under control now.

    I've also phoned my Dad and made him promise to ring his GP as he wrote a message on Twitter about bright light hurting his eyes. He's had all the same symptoms as me, and when I phoned the doctors yesterday she asked me about bright light, so I really think Dad should phone his doc. He sounded awful on the phone, not making much sense really, but he did promise to ring the doc so hopefully he will. I think Mum was there so hopefully she will back me up.

    BTW, the doctor told me I might have SF but as I haven't had a fever I might not have it, she can't really say, the only way to tell is by doing a swab, but they are not doing swabs anymore. She said it might just be a virus, so to drink a lot, rest a lot, and ring back if I get a fever or if DH gets it. LOL, it was very helpful!

    I'm almost reduced to tears. Why has banking life become so ferking complicated? It has taken me half an hour to make to online payments. Two different accounts now with two different card readers and another two pins to remember. Arghhhhh! How are we supposed to remember all these numbers when we're not allowed to write them down? And we're supposed to have unique ones for each different card. Arghhhh!

    Still, it's done now. I shall go and get a calming cup of tea....

    Greenbee - congrats on the jeans! It is such a good feeling.

    Too right it is... and I'm back into my expensive jeans too (thought I'd dress up for lunch @ work... can't be bothered with suits at the moment :p)
    :mad::mad:AAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

    Dolly - he should simply have said no. If the AM hadn't booked it in advance, then he should have been the one to cancel. Hope it's sorted out soon.

    Flight wasn't that late, so managed to pick them up OK, drop them off, get home, pick up my work stuff and make it into work. Have caught up on the thread just in time to grab a drink before my meeting!
