    Hi i'm feeling much more human today and considering going back to work tomorrow.
    I mightily scared myself on Monday and hope never to do that again, i'm glad they let me home though as they were talking about keeping me in for a few days to start with.

    LT hope you are taking it easy. Glad they didn't keep you in. I always feel much better i my own bed.

    Quick question - I seem to remember you having new windows a while ago. Did they make much difference to the heat of the house?? Our house is freezing and we're getting new windows on monday. I really hope they make a difference

    hi everyone, i've decided to take another day off today as i'm not fully confident that i should be in, i am feeling better each day so hope to be back tomorrow.

    Starnac the windows have made loads of difference, they increased the temp. by 5 degrees straight away. We have times when we're cold but then we don't have central heating but we certainly get more benefit from the oil filled electric rads that we do have. Our house used to be freezing as well, we would struggle to get the living room above 15 after using either the calor gas heater or an electric heater all day and all night so we just ended up with lots of damp, this has changes so radically. You're certainly doing the right thing having yours changed.
