    He's feeling much better but has had a very lazy sofa day, complaining of a headache anytime he ventured off it :o He's managed to keep down toast and some weetabix so a good nights sleep and i'm sure he'll be right as rain tomorrow :)

    • clean out all my kitchen cupboards except the saucepan one
    • clean the inside of the mictowave ... minging :(
    • decluttered the kitchen noticeboard
    • tidied the lounge ready for cleaning tomorrow
