    Morning all

    I've been up for about an hour, had a tickle in my throat and didn't want to wake DH up again with my coughing! Still feel very rough but am determined to go back to work tomorrow! I'm on a course- not sure if that's a good or bad thing. If i still don't feel better i might go back to the Drs and beg for some antibiotics (she did say to come back if I wasn't any better after a couple of days)

    Todays plans are a few more bits off the list, but mainly chill. Roast dinner about 6pm. I must also write a meal plan and do a load of washing.

    L_L make sure you take it easy today.
    sexy - enjoy the air show.

    Ironing done
    Sock and underwear sorted / paired/ put away
    Kitchen floor swept
    Downstairs hoovered

    Been to a local Sunday market, took me all of 15 mins to walk round it, it seems it is dying on its feet, loads of traders missing, sad really, as it use to be so big.

    Happy to report the pixies and fairies have not stolen my new turf over night...

    Ds2 is happily making things out of cardboard boxes and i'm still waiting for Ds1 to finish his room so i can have the hoover.:mad: He only started it yesterday morning.


    OH's just phoned me, he thinks he's pulled some ligaments in his shoulder. So it looks like a trip to the community hospital may be in order. He's ringing them now. I hope they'll see him i don't fancy a trip to A & E.

    I need to get in the shower now then wait for OH to ring me and let me know.
