    Hope you are feeling better soon. Not too keen on sushi myself but the husband and eldest son love it. It is also very healthy. Maybe your body was telling you something.
    Night.

    hi all, well have taken the day off work, still not over bug. Hope everyone else is better than me :)

    Congrats on the savings total JoJoC :) £1,500, well done.

    At least a day spent at home is an inexpensive day :)

    Poor you Cathy- hopefully a couple of days in bed will help you recover. And yes, no spending! That'll make you feel right as rain in no time!

    Delighted to hit my £1500 target. I'm hoping to have another £180 by the end of the month at least. X

    Thanks, JoJoC :) Have now been feeling "off" for a while - a few months, really. Have made appointment to see GP. Have been in bed all day, not got much done. I hope everyone else is having a more productive day than me. :)

    That's rubbish that it's been going on so long- you're right to see your GP.

    My mother in law hasn't been feeling right since a cold/flu bug back I'm nov/dec last year. She gets a lot of dizzy spells, had problems sleeping and still has a bad cough. She's had loads of antibiotics, tests and even went to a hospital cough clinic but they can't identify anything. It's rotten.

    Get well soon!

    Yes it is a bit rubbish, especially since I'm normally as fit as a fiddle. :( That must be awful for your mother-in-law, too ... how frustrating ... I hope she gets better soon :(

    Hiya Cathy, have you made the GP appointment yet? I hope you get over this horrid lurgy quickly. Its horrid being poorly.

    Just off to work now, so will catch up later.

    hi WantToBeSE, thanks for asking. :) I made the appointment for Friday, but might try and see if they can fit me in today - I'm off work today again.

    First monthly direct debit went into S&S Isa today. I guess that's a milestone? Anyway, it means the savings figure has gone up by £250. So, that's good. :) I've had a pretty low-key day, been dozing in bed - not well. Still pleased about the extra savings though. :)

    Forgot bank interest that has gone in since I last updated :) Signature now amended to show that too. March figure looking not so bad, considering.
