    I'm here!!

    Sorry about the absence, it's been one of those weeks. Started off by having three nights on the trot where I could only sleep a couple of hours, consequently over-tired. That lead to a couple of start-up migraines which I managed to catch before they went full on, but left me feeling even worse. Then I got a cold which I still have :( I look and feel a complete wreck :(

    Because of the money situation I've carried on working and just collapsed on the sofa when I got home, naturally after feeding Colin, who hasn't suffered any sleep deprivation! He really snores :)

    I did my gardening jobs though and everyone seems very pleased with what I've done for them. I have bookings for this week.

    I've taken masses of plant cuttings, hoping to sell them with the pots. The potting bench is a delight to work at, so nice not to get backache bending over all the time.

    Only four pots this week and half a tortoise, felt too lousy to do anymore. Although I have painted Tigzem's pot a sky blue with a wash of white clouds ready for her rainbow when I feel confident enough to paint it!

    It's bedtime, but I know sleep is going to elude me, not even N1tol work :(

    Just a quick check in to wave to you all. I am feeling very rough indeed and joy of joys I have to go to work tomorrow :( Sickness not allowed, written warning! Really. I've never worked anywhere like this before. Still, I may well feel better by tomorrow.

    I did a bit of gardening, but any bending over made my head feel like it might fall off, so not much done. I've given up on painting pots as the paint fumes are having pretty much the same effect :eek:

    There was a fairly big family lunch today, had to attend, didn't really enjoy it as I couldn't breathe and all the food tasted the same. So very unfair, can't remember the last time I ate out in a restaurant either.

    I'm thinking about a warm bath before bed as I'm cold and perhaps a large slug of whiskey.....

    Ah I don't like garden gnomes at all. My kids keep threatening to buy me the giant gnome at @sda :eek: I've told them it will be straight down the dump if it appears :rotfl:

    So posh cats snore too? Part of Colin's snoring comes from the fact he has his paws over his nose :rotfl:

    I knew about the feverfew cure, but had forgotten about it. Guess which is the herb I haven't got in the garden?

    Sorry to hear you are feeling so rotten and hope you feel better soon. There are some nasty bugs going about.

    Mr A is a very loud snorer and sometimes does snoring even when he's awake!
