    Well it has been ages since I caught up on here and as always there has been drama in my household.

    The week before last and on the week of her birthday my darling daughter got chicken pox. Luckily she wasn't too ill with it just very spotty and scratchy bless her.

    Then last week I came down with tonsilitus, unfortunately this then ended up with an emergency visit to a&e as my face swelled up to the size of a football (mmm sexy) and I had absecesses on my vocal chords. There was talk of operations etc etc but luckily heavy doses of medication and everything is slowly getting under control.

    So have been off work for what seems like forever, spent 5 days solid in bed unable to keep awake let alone do much.

    Today has been my first full day out of bed so far, fingers crossed Ill make it to bedtime without the need for a nap lol.

    DD is fully recovered now and her spots are slowly going. My niece now has it though bless her and she is absolutely covered. Luckily neither of them have been that poorly with it which is a blessing in disguise.

    I am getting there slowly, although still so tired. My body has got used to sleeping about 18 hours a day and is struggling now coping with normality :o

    Yep Littlemiss for once Rubes was the healthiest thing in my house. Have only just got her back. Mum and dad kept her whilst I was sleeping all the time as not fair to keep a springer trapped in the house all day.

    Evening one and all. I almost feel normal again yay :D

    Had a lovely day yesterday, popped over to see Pania and had a good old natter.

    Have spent the day today with my sister, my dd and my two nieces and I am not actually Ebaying. I think I may have my MSE mojo back :T
