    I was ill through the night throwing up, and have felt yackety all day :(. DH has been unsteady on his feet and has insisted on following me about for much of the day which has been a bit of a nuisance. He has forgotten most of our holiday already :(.

    On the plus side, I've had 4 loads of washing dried on the line today thanks to the tail end of Hurricane Gert :T. Only ironed half of it though :o.

    Oh so that explains the windy weather and alternating sun/rain.

    Hope you feel better by now.

    I know what you mean re walking into your house after a holiday and seeing it through fresh eyes - although at least not my kitchen and bathroom this time for me - just the rest of it!!

    I'm feeling better now thank you all :j. Took it easier yesterday by cutting the hedges :p. Feel much happier now the garden looks tidier.

    Met up with some of DH's old school friends and their families today which was lovely. The kids did trampolining and then we went for a pub lunch. The pub had some good deals on, so it cost £17 in total for meals and drinks which I was impressed with. We also got not one, but 3 party invitations today :eek:. 2 are next month and one in December. Bit worried about the cost for presents etc, but also the lack of time to lose weight beforehand. It sounds silly, but I know someone will be at the first party who makes me feel inferior, and I'm wishing I looked better so I could feel better about myself.

    My car needs 2 new tyres :(. It's DS1's (and my) birthday in 3 weeks and 2 of the parties are in that same week :eek:. Anyone got a money tree?!

    Hun go to the parties with your head held high and stuff 'em! I wonder how many of them would crumble under the stress that you are under?
