    I feel absolutely blurgghhhh. Was really snotsville this morning when I woke up and I have no energy and very little brain power. Have just been out and got some provisions from the villagey part of town though but couldn't face the supermarket. That can wait for another day.

    I bought a marrow bone which I'm browning off in the oven at the moment to then make brown stock with and I want to cook some leek and potato soup at some point.

    Hairdresser is due v. soon so I better S&S the kitchen...

    I'm fed up and grumpy! We went out for lunch and st@rbucks was full so dh didn't want to go in (he is right, who wants to spend nealy £15 and sit in a noisy full place?) but I got really upset and ended up in tears going round M&S! My ankle is sore again too after walking further than I have done since I sprained it. Anyway, got back and I've had hm soup for lunch (much healthier anyway and cheaper) and helped dh with a 2 player bit on the ps3! He's now dysoning etc whilst I finish my service for tomorrow.

    I guess I should actually go and do that then!
