    snap It has now turned into a really chesty cough and stupid tickly throat, and I am utterly exhausted from continual coughing, no cough medicine is helping whatsoever and I have a thumping headache from coughing so much :cool:

    i have the same problem too seems it is something going around i cannot sleep without coughing and have to sleep sat upright

    I could have lent you stuff for evacuee except the stuff I have is for a 10 yr old. Your ds is quite young to be doing that - it's part of the yr 5 curriculum.

    Hope you feel better soon PL, I actually managed a whole nights sleep last night, the first for over a week, and had a lovely dream about cutie too ;):D

    Dangers - they do it in year 4 here, and he is the youngest boy in the year. He is enjoying learning about the war and asked my Mum yesterday if she had met Hitler :eek:

    Sp ds is ready to go already (was up at 5.30 as he's sooo excited :) . I'm trying to find some oomph from somewhere but it seems to have done a runner this morning :cool:

    Finally its friday night and I'm in bed already :o I just feel absolutely shattered again tonight, almost fell asleep on the sofa so decided I'd get my pj's on and go to bed nice and early instead :)

    Ds is seeing the crim tomorrow so I will have about 4 hours free where I need to get cracking on various things, but tonight is just pure chilling time :D

    Morning all, last night I got £4 from a survey and £10 payout from another survey site, but that £14 will be going towards another outfit I won on ebay :o This one was £45 :eek: but is from Whistles and has only been worn once, so hopefully will be decent quality. Not sure yet about the other £30, hopefully if I have a cheap weekend this week it can come out of this months budget :)

    Off to ds drama in half an hour, then he's going out with the crim while I potter indoors, collect the orders from Tesco and do a few other little jobs that are quicker and easier on my own :)

    Postie has just delivered me a win from the glamour mag comp, its a travel sized pack of cleanser, toner, moisturiser and hand cream from Natio aromatherapy :T

    Ds has just gone off with the crim and I am having some brekkie before starting my jobs ;) So far I have done 2 loads of washing, emptied the dishwasher, cleaned the bathroom and cleaned the hall and front door / step :D
