    Hello Bob,

    Unfortunately I am not feeling well at the moment, so I have not been to work this week. Nothing too serious, but energy sapping. I saw the Doctor yesterday. I need to continue to take it easy and get lots of rest.

    Price reductions and special offers on my weekly Tesco online shop £20.50
