    Of course they haven't! You have been unwell. I took your advice about me being hard on myself and adjusted my behaviour, only to pop over here to see you are even harder on yourself than I am on myself. Blow the chores for now. Tomorrow is another day and hopefully you will be able to get some milk in. Take care :)

    I'm sure the chores will be there tomorrow (I just got in trouble with OH for washing up on a broken foot, so I feel your pain).

    Just get yourself better first!

    Are you feeling better?
    Do you have milk now?
    Hoping the answer is yes to at least one of the questions!
