    Will do KC - thanks

    I stupidly worked through suspected glandular fever 15 years ago and broke myself (after sleeping for 12 hours just coming downstairs in the morning would exhaust me and I wouldn't be able to lift my head off the kitchen table) and I never want to feel like that again :(:(:(

    Just had quick catch up MWC, so sorry you are feeling grot after such an amazingly busy and productive run, do look after yourself and get some rest, you're right to be cautious after your GF experience.

    Now then, I love my chooks, but I'm feeling a stirring of h-envy ... I do love your Miss. W. she's just brilliant! I'll just bet she has the personality to match her looks!

    Get a good night's rest X

    I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you Hbbb, Miss W is a very dull chicken... she doesn't even lay beautiful pale green eggs anymore :( I think she is lacking a few brain cells - she's definitely a bit fick :rotfl:

    hope you feel better soon. i can relate to the gladular fever thing too - had it for 6 weeks before realising it wasn't normal to feel that tired and run down - that was my cue to stop working nightshifts! (although the money was soooo much better)

    Thanks everyone

    Still feeling ropey - I just can't get warm this evening even though the heating is on and I'm wearing my dressing gown over my clothes :(

    I'll probably WFH tomorrow Tilly

    Catching up. Hope you are feeling better today. Loved the photos of the girls and in awe of the marmalade for hampers already!
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Mrs E does that *every* day! :D

    Hope you feel better soon, MWC, it can be quite disconcerting feeling poorly.
