    Afternoon all,

    Hope everyone is ok,and if not have a hug or get better wishes from me.The house is very quiet as DH and sons are at DS2s house painting for all they're worth as the carpets are being fitted tomorrow.I went yesterday and painted a wall again that needed another coat,and they did skirtings.The last job to be done is wardrobes in the main bedroom but they are running out of money (so are we....bank of Mum and Dad had a bit of a run on it recently :eek:) so they might have to use a rail for now,but at last moving in is on the horizon,with a few weeks to spare before baby is born :) Dil2b is delighted with the Moses basket I recovered,said it was just what she wanted ( without the £80 price tag like the one she'd seen):D

    I've made tater hash for tea,but I think DH will be late,he has to call to let the plumber in on his latest job.Got a ciabatta in the bm,smells like its nearly ready.I havent used it for ages,but had a go last week but think my yeast was shot at as it was erm 'dense' so I got some more at the weekend.

    I might watch Downton while it's peaceful,so bye for now x

    Had a nice pottering day, but felt a bit off all day.Did the school run this afternoon, and DDs OH was home early from work so left there and came home by 5.30.
    By 6.30 was hurling for England, and feeling decidedly ill.I had some new tablets from the Drs last week as I have a 'relaxed windpipe and she said it would help with a persistant cough thats been driving me loopy for 6 weeks.These things were like horsepills they were so big and reading through the leaflet tonight it says that apparently it can give you a side effect of D & V after a week.Guess they were right as its exactly a week since I started taking them.

    I have had to cancel my coffee morning for tomorrow and also my pub quiz tomorrow night as I still feel very queasy.I am not taking anymore pills though and will spend the night on the sofa with a hot bottle and duvet as my loo is downstairs !!!.
    Feeling quite sorry for myself at the moment as I hate being unwell, and am a dreadfully unpatient patient.I hadn't eaten much today thank goodness and have no appetite at all.The thought of food is a bit off-putting at the moment I can't even keep boiled water down.Blooming nuisance as I have such a busy week ahead ,still it will have to wait until I feel better Grr...
    Oh well things can only get better .
    I'm off to sort my duvet and pillows out and to have a bit of a rest
    Take care everyone ,hopefully I'll feel better tomorrow
    Cheers JackieO xxx
