Morning Everyone,
Have an unexpected day off the LO's are poorly. Just got one job to do then have a free day.
Might go shopping. Asked DH if he fancied shopping with me ,but apparently he doesn't do shops in December too many people :rotfl::rotfl:
Won't hold my breath for Christmas presents then!!
Doesn't mind going out for a pub lunch though.Did explain that the pubs would be very crowded this time of year, but apparently they are a different kind of crowd!!!

Hiya LC2
There's no cure for this ailment it only affects men and the government are restricting any claims for this illness
The only medication that cures it is alcohol, so unless he's very friendly with the publican, then the medication is not free, sorry
