    Afternoon all
    Well today feels like Monday to me as OH has gone back to work after 2 days off sick.
    So I'm playing catch up on all the things I havent got done because he was either sleeping or feeling sorry for himself!!

    I've had an enforced day off work today as oldest son is poorly again. He was off on Monday &Tuesday, but went back to school yesterday. Has gone back downhill over night though. Mind you, he doesn't feel too great, but is bored. Would I be wrong to email his subject tutors, asking if there is any work he could do. I have already told the school he isn't going in tomorrow. BTW, he's Yr 7

    If he feels up to doing it then I dont see any harm in in dangers, maybe just a few pages of a book or something he could read.
    I remember when I was younger if I was ever off sick my mum would always turn up with work for me to do so I didnt miss anything (so kind of her!!)

    Afternoon all, hope everyone is doing ok.

    My DD will be 10 next Tuesday so I have to take her and 6 of her friends to the cinema on Saturday as her birthday treat. Last week was JLS this week the cinema with 10 year olds my life is definitely swinging.

    Well better get back to work, lunchtime is over.

    It's been a meh day! I would have a rant but you never know who's reading.

    I ordered some stuff from Next for my holiday and out of teh five items I'm only keeping one!! And the stuff I ordered in the sale, well don't get me started on that, they sent the wrong sizes! :mad:

    Also I stayed teh same weight, I'm hoping that the healthy eating will show next week. I really need to do some exercise too that would help, but it's that CBA attitude at the moment.

    Sending love to everyone,

    LMC - Sorry to hear it was a "meh" day - I'm with you in the CBA exercise camp at the moment - before Christmas I was walking around 20 miles a week - this wee so far.....2 miles......hmmm.

    Hopefully the sun will start shining again soon and it will throw a bit more incentive our way.
