    Oh dear, unfortunately I am not better. I've developed a stonkin' cough that is making my ears hurt! Suffering with the alternative hot/cold syndrome and generally feeling horrible. I think getting very stressed about money hasn't helped at all. I'm still worrying myself silly about this month. Luckily, there was a lot of fruit wastage at work so I've bought that home, it will keep me in breakfasts for the week. Work also supplies lunch for most the week so the grocery bill is very low. Mainly cat food and carrots....

    I haven't done a fraction of what I need to do, so feel guilty on top of it all :(

    Eb*y sales have netted £92 but I've still got another £48 due from a buyer who doesn't seem in any great hurry to pay. Why bid if you don't intend to pay? I'll give it another day then write a friendly message asking if there's a problem, then send the heavies round :D

    Mum bought round a pink called Doris for the garden. I've planted it near the Bear right by the small table where I sit with my coffee/wine in the summer. Doris has a divine scent, as long as Colin doesn't eat it, it will be something to look forward to. Mum also bought along a red lobelia and a gailardia which is red and yellow. I'd forgotten my mum's love of strong colour :o I've decided to plant them further up the garden and have a hot area of the garden.

    I've updated my signature. I am now officially in the £10k region of debt.

But so far no morning headaches for the first time in over 3 years :) and hopefully the snoring will stop once the packing has been absorbed (yuk!) Hope you feeling better soon Piq
