Hope is not an Effective Financial Strategy

Welcome back - missed your updates.

Well we can add DD, Mrs SJ and SJ himself to the ill list in our house... Think we need a red cross painting on the front door! Mrs SJ is off with it, I've pushed through a bit and went in this morning. Come home for the afternoon before going back this evening. Wednesdays are usually a 11-12hr day, but I have no chance of that today.

And to add to it I had my 2nd MMR jab on Friday with my flu jab (asthma sufferer) and oh have I got am itchy rash from it! So all in all its proving to be a long week, but enough of the whining...A nice round £1 TT this morning :j.

House insurance is due and the re quote has only gone up by £1.08 so I think we'll leave it with same supplier.

Hope you all can get through the lurgy as quickly as possible - pushing on through doesn't *always* work.

You are quite right. It got the better of me this afternoon and I haven't gone back. Cant remember when I was last off work sick... I remember having mumps in 2004 and having a week off then. After that I think I've missed the odd day, but that would be less than 5 days. With the way I'm feeling I think that'll be me done for the week as well. Currently counting down each 30mins period until we can all go to bed. All 5 of us have been snoozing most of the afternoon.

I'm obviously getting old, and soft!!

Hope you’re all beginning to feel a bit better today Jimmy. Agree with Karma - is important to stop to let yourself recover properly!

Good to see you back posting jimmy. Just need these bugs to disappear now. Hope everyone bounces back pretty quickly from it.

Sending you best wishes and virtual honey and lemon (helps most things). I hope you all recover quickly.

Oh yes indeed. I would have been great you are back, they are all yours see you in a few hours I'm out of here! Having said that the offspring must have been very good whilst you were away. & 3 whole days - she comes in at superstar level.

I'm under no illusions that the only reason I was given 3 bonus days was because of the job interview!

50p TT made today, train tickets booked for conference in London during December and broadband switch sorted. I went into work this morning 9-12, then popped home for 30mins on my way to a 1-2 meeting. Far too soon to be in work. I ended up asleep on the living room floor 2.30-4, then in bed 4.45-6.30!! We've since had a letter off public health through school about the bug that we've all picked up and basically saying stay away from civilisation for a week. Its day 5 for DS1, day 4 for DS2 & Mrs SJ and day 3 for DD and me, so we're some way off having a healthy household just yet.
