    Is chickenpox for the second time aka shingles, or can you catch it twice?

    yikes ... hope you are feeling better soon.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!
  • Wow what a roller coater you have had the last few months - just caught up from September.

    Glad most things are going well; but boo and get well soon to the chicken pox.

    Are you any better yet?

  • Ooh lovely comments!

    MCI you are a glutton for punishment!

    Ed you can catch it twice. It wasn't confined to one side which is why I thought chickenpox. A real blustery rash.

    Long story short, flu ISH symptoms turned to a terrible bad back turned to sciatica. What an old friend. I worked through it because I didn't twig that I could have something contagious until after it was no longer contagious, IYSWIM?

    Got interrupted having to text a parent directions. Sleepover for 15 year olds!!

    Better now but sciatica pain is exhausting. Like someone's maiden aunt! eta Joyce Grenfell style. Not dissing maidens. Or aunts.

    Oh my ... toughing it out is your thing, completely! I'm glad you're a bit better, but still, sounds like you still have some convalescing to do.

  • Yep. Been in bed for an hour this afternoon.

    I am not especially tough but when you have just started a new job your stock of personal capital is low. They Don't know you and you Don't want to be the person who worked for a fortnight then went off sick. Excuse autocorrect's random capitalisation.

    Hmnnn. Am I a flitter?

  • Morning!

    Glamorous plans today. Restore 15 year olds to their respective homes. Clear up. Finish the washing.

    Had a terrible night, a lot of pain. Couch to 5k on the back burner.
