    DH is not good at all :( it's the first time either of us has been properly ill whilst living together - feeling pretty helpless right now!

    I've had a 3 hour nap this afternoon and feel much better :) I'm debating whether to have some porridge for tea :)

    How the receipt drawer go? ;) I've just sorted through a small pile of paper that needed doing, shredded what I didn't need and filed the rest away. Made me feel very productive! :o

    Ohhhhh dear - do you think it's a bug or something you both may have eaten?

    Quoting a very wise lady ..... naps are good!;)

    Porridge should be OK - Rice is really gentle on the tum and you can make it a bit more interesting by adding a stock cube to the water when it's cooking and it will pick up the flavours.

    I had to nap too!:o On "to do" list for tomorrow!:)

    I don't think it can be something we've eaten as DH is much worse than me - I just feel under the weather but without going into details, DH is properly ill.

    Yup, think I'm gonna make some milky porridge :)

    Honestly, once you begin, sorting through stuff will make you feel so much better!

    :D Just had a quick bath to defrost (been up a while:o) and the thermals are on!:rotfl:

    Actually just having a debate with myself on whether to fork out on another set - I have enough for "normal circs" but struggling a bit to keep them washed / dried being in the house & wearing them every day!

    I left DH in bed this morning and I have come to work - luckily I'm free first lesson today, as I'm feel a bit yukky. I'm just supping a cuppa and hoping that things will settle down soon.

    Thank you both for asking though :)

    I'm hoping for a NSD today, but as I'll be at school til about 9PM tonight, I may end up having to buy something to eat for tea.... :o We shall see.

    Hope DH is feeling better soon

    Sigh.
