    Feeling a little better today. Mr F forgot he'd made arrangements to watch the rugby down at the Club with some of the dads this morning so we didn't go to the fair. I didn't mind as I don't really feel like doing much still. He's off out for a few drinks with a friend this evening too so another chance for me to just chill.

    MS wise:
    • Falafel & Halloumi Burgers for lunch today
    • a little shopping on the Aveda site :o Replacement shampoo and travel size foot lotion plus a new travel size body lotion to try - £30.50. All from my personal spends and I got free delivery and 5 free sample size products to try (or sell on Fleabay -:rotfl:)
    • Fajitas from the meal plan for supper tonight made from last night's Chilli
    • cashed in a £5 Amaz0n voucher from $wagbuck$
    I'm psyching myself up for a bit of Fleabaying tomorrow... and a bit of housework as I'm way behind now and Mr F goes back to work on Monday.

    Enjoy the rest of the weekend all

    Another tip for travel.

    I travel a LOT. Esp on planes. I used to be, back in the day, a medical research scientist. Viruses were my thing (AIDS not colds though).

    I use hand sanitiser every time I fly, and when in places like shopping centers/grocery stores with carts. Never get colds anymore, haven't had one in ages. My 3 boys when they flew with me, one would always get a cold. Now they don't either when they fly.

    But they don't use it at Uni so they get colds there a lot. They think they look like sissies if they use it ;) Their dad does now at work and he doesn't get sick anymore either.

    You're absolutely right atush. I only fly for a holiday once every couple of years so am not really in a routine with it. It's very frustrating as I hadn't had a cold for about 18 months before this one. I've got hand sanitiser in the house so will have to get into the habit of using it when I go out.

    Apparently I wasn't over the worst with this cold. Spent a bad night coughing and spluttering and got up at 3 am as was worried about disturbing Mr F. He came looking for me (aaah) and, as I'd taken some more medicine by then, I went back up and finally got a few hours sleep.

    The show needs to go on today though. I have a mountain of washing and ironing to do and need to get things ready for Mr F going back to work tomorrow. I also have a few work events next week so will have to start preparing for those too.

    So, off to a good start:
    • one load of washing on
    • £1.20 [STRIKE]lifted[/STRIKE] recovered from Mr F's change dish to feed Mr Marmite
    It's our wedding anniversary today - 5 years! Where has that time gone. We're not going out to celebrate as the holiday and London trip have been celebration enough. I said to Mr F this morning "I must really love you. Married for 5 years today and how am I celebrating? By washing your pants" :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    Have a good Sunday everyone
