    I went back to bed this afternoon and left Mr MWC unsupervised with the log burner... it's now so hot that I'm sitting here in my underwear!

    He's slumped on the sofa decluttering cheese & biscuits and not looking remotely frisky :rotfl:

    I'm afraid I'm with Mr MWC, nothing (not even a beloved in their pants) would distracted me from a bit of cheese decluttering!

    Hope you're feeling a bit better. I had something similar before Christmas and it was proper s**te :(

    That's exactly how I feel PP!!!

    Day 10 today and no improvement :( I've now been prescribed antibiotics for the sore throat and antibiotic eye drops for the conjunctivitis so hopefully I'll start to feel better soon *fingers crossed*

    I should be! 10-day course of antibiotics finishes the day before I fly.

    I spent a small fortune on prescription/OTC meds/tissues etc today (not including it in my grocery challenge figures) but I'm not using petrol to get to work so about even overall.

    And looking on the bright side, I've lost 3lbs since 1 January :T
