    He hasn't been sick yet but has just slept for most of the morning, he is currently asleep. I don't really know what to do, he seems ok in himself but he has never been sick for so long before.

  • I hope he feels better soon. The sleep will do him good. Can he drink water without being sick?

    Yes he is keeping water down so I'm not overly concerned, we have spent most of today just lazing around the house together. He does seem to have perked up a little but I imagine he will be fast asleep for the night shortly.

  • He shouldn't get too dehydrated as long as he drinks plenty of water. Glad he's perked up a bit.

  • DS seems to have woken up all fresh, he did have a long lie in this morning but now seems back to himself. I am so happy to have him feeling better, he really hasn't been able to enjoy the break from school so far.

    I feel completely stuck on the finance front, there is absolutely nothing I can do until 6th Jan. I hate just waiting around to be able to make a dent. I am feeling quite positive this morning though, 2018 will be my year.

    Waiting is so frustrating, isn't it?

    And cheers to 2018, get that debt busted and enjoy your loved ones :beer:

    It really is, I will be able to clear between £1500-£2000 right at the start of January but then the waiting game will start again for April. January and April will both be huge for me in terms of my debt. I hope to have cut it down to around £3000 by the end of April, most of which will be the overpayment that they haven't yet asked for.
