    Oh Cheery, poor you! I can relate, sadly - hope you've stuck to your plan to do nothing.

    I haven't actually - I've been very busy - busy being asleep in front of 3 hours of Pride and Prejudice that is :D :rotfl: Just woke up when the music came on at the end to put the next on one :rotfl:

    Awake now, put some socks on and made a hot chocolate, and rewound myself back to the middle of the 2nd episode.

    See what a busy evening I'm having?? :rotfl:

    Honey and lemon would be lovely thanks LT :T

    Ooh, I did a 50 day challenge update on the train this morning, will post at some point - although right now I'm all snuggled up and it's in a bag in the kitchen, so instead I'm going to go back to sleep :D

    :rotfl:when I first saw what time your 11.58 post was, I was going to come on here and tell you off .... and then I read that you'd been asleep for 3 hours already :rotfl:

    Well done you. Hope you feel a *little* bit better today.

    Feel a little more human than last night Thanks KC, but still feel like I've been through the washing machine a few times :o So no getting up at 7am and working for me :o

    However, I am very grateful that today I can work from home, in my PJs, with a hot water bottle, and that Mr Daffs is here to look after me too :D Hoping that he's sufficiently recovered from his own poorliness to do that - he was sufficiently recovered to not come home til 4am this morning so I do have some bargaining power ;) (and he *is* very good when I'm poorly).

    It seems the only breakfast food in the house is pancakes - oh dear :D Fortunately there's a jug of mix made up in the fridge, so all I have to do is cook it :D Which seems rather complicated right now :rotfl: so the kettle's on first. Got to do these things in stages! Might even brave having a shower after breakfast, I hate being all ill and grubby :o Then PhDing, although I'm going to take it pretty easy today and not push myself through too much - whatever I get done is great :T

    And will sort out my 50 day challenge posts too :j :j

    Off to see what you're all up to over my cuppa :coffee:

    Awww.... you don't sound well. Good thing Mr Daffs is recovered - with a 4am entry, I think you have a *lot* of bargaining power :D

    I'm amazed at the effort you make to get to work, all that walking and being up so early. Would you not just drive there? I mean what do you do when it's raining? I'm all for walking/exercise but this is going to make you exhausted.

  • Hugs xx Hope you feel better soon. Hot water bottle and pancakes sound lovely though :)

    The walking does sound tiring, if you're not feeling great. I've only got a 20 minute walk home from work but sometimes that feels tough in the dark, rain etc. But the walk/ cycle is also a brilliant opportunity to exercise and clear your mind a bit!
