    I am failing as a wife again, I just cannot stand the idea of cooking and cannot think of anything I want to eat ATM. Dh has suggested takeway of all varieties, and is getting perturbed that I keep suggesting he have what he wants....He has even tried tempting me with breaking the dry spell here and waving bottles of wine by me, but n'ah.

    Even when I don't feel like eating or am not eating I usually enjoy cooking. Everything makes me feel queasy or turned off food. Not that it will hurt me to do without for a while. Just wish I could get back my joy of cooking!

    you're not failing and he's just worried.

    we have just eaten a simple supper and fingers crossed i will be able to cook something better tomorrow.

    I'm falling asleep already but we have tiramisu for desert (shop bought) so will have to keep eyes awake for that.

    Neither would ATM.....loves cooking and food was important to him. He's not in the least cross, but yeah, he is worried. I took some acidophilus and iron and stuff he likes with algae in it which has made him feel a bit better.

    I went out today and saw something that got me thinking ... so I was on ebay investigating stuff... and randomly found this bizarre item.

    Random find of the day: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BEAUTIFUL-WOLVES-on-ROCKS-INDOOR-WATER-FEATURE-LTD-EDITION-ORNAMENT-/300859335603

    At first I thought it was about 4' tall, but the plug socket shows its much smaller :) Imagine that 4' tall!

    I am starting to look at baths now. The plans are based on 1700 by 800 but we could go a little wider, and a bit longer of we make the corridor narrower. But I would rather keep the seventeen hundred length.

    It's going to be built in.

    I dislike spa baths (the idea more than the actuality, i have the feeling from the one we had in london that they are dirty) but dh lies them. What's the nice people consensus?

    Imagine sitting in a hot bath tub after a meal of baked beans, something fizzy and a side of pulses.



    These look quite fun, but too big. We could make to measure, was the original plan, but....li am just after ease ATM.

    Lemon jelly would approve, as I don't think I could read in something so deep.

    I like them but haven't had one. I think nothing of going for a jacuzzi or to the main spa pool at my spa and I have to share those with other people, with a spa bath I'll be the only one in the water (DH definitely wouldn't fit with me in the tiny space we have for a bath) and can clean fastidiously afterwards.
