I will try to do better - can't believe that only 5 people completed all 5 days - mind you, some of those tasks were a mission in themselves - I didn't complete the wardrobe task either greenbee. Thanks for the lists pigpen and soappie for doing the stars whilst toots is away.
I'm off to get the rest of the washing in from the tumbledryer before going to bed with a book - nothing on tv at the moment.
Welcome back Johanne and hugs for Jo - you're being really productive and it sounds like you've got good support both of you.
Night night all,

Evening everyone
Sorry for not letting you all know that I had my Tamiflu on Thursday evening. Unfortunately we didn't get back until late/early Friday morning.
DH was an absolute darling, even after my moaning about and to him, and drove the 40 mile round trip to the collection point.
I took it as soon as I got home and also some cold and flu stuff that the Dr recommended. Unfortunately that knocked me out for the count that night. The next morning I felt like slightly better and was actually bored, so rang everyone I could think of to talk too. But unfortunately that then knocked me out so I fell asleep on the sofa.. I must admit that the Tamiflu did alleviate the symptems considerably although the sweats were horrible. I also got the nausea and headache side effects, but nothing major and I could handle them. But boy do I wish my Dr had prescribed this when I was diagnosed originally..although I did find out that we don't have any in our health area - Great!!! So what on earth are those in our area doing if they need this drug..probably being told they don't need it.
Sadly I have been quarantined until Tuesday again..which will be 10 days quarantine..ugh!! But I was a bad girl today..lol
I have been sleeping a lot since Friday, and getting major sweats. Thankfully these seemed to have eased today, and I was actually up at a reasonable time and did a little bit of ironing.
We did go out to a family gathering in Sussex, which I could have done without but as I wasn't contagious we decided to go for it. But I was very diligent and as the people we were seeing were over 70 (as in MIL and FIL, and Aunty and Uncle-in-law) then we thought that things would be okay. Wish I hadn't gone now as I spent nearly all day drinking water on and off, I didn't eat a lot for dinner or tea, and fell asleep in the afternoon for half hour. I was also very vague and kept getting the sweats something bad.!!
Anyway I am home now, I shall be going to bed shortly and having another rest day tomorrow - my house isn't looking too bad but the ironing pile has grown into two huge mountains now..lol But that will be done in dribs and drabs over the week, as and when I feel up to it.
Thank you to Frodders for the text this evening, sorry I didn't get back to you. I have only just turned the phone on and got your message, and thought it would be too late to reply back to you. But thank you so much for thinking of me.. And thank you to Helenjelly for the pm
I promise you guys I won't disappear without somehow getting a message to you one way or t'other as to what has happened, so I don't worry you all againMortgage Free as of 20.9.17Declutter challenge 2023, 2024 🏅 🏅⭐️⭐️
