Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

We were served hot brown lemonade when unwell

We used to get Feguzade which was much nicer than Lucos@de. I think it was maybe only available in Scotland? It was sweeter and a yellower colour and the bottle had yellow cellophane on it which was fun to play with. Its not made any more sadly.

Happy Saturday. Sorry you are still feeling a bit poorly. Feeling tired and lethargic really takes its toll on you as well.

Hopefully you'll enjoy tonight and won't feel too exhausted. x

Sorry to hear you still feel rough

It was always dandelion and burdock for me when I was a kid and unwell. Not sure if you can still get it?

Mr SA now has the lurgy, full of cold plus feeling sick. The bugs are out in full force

Thank you all .

I enjoyed being at Stepdad's house last night as it was nice to see the visiting relatives . I only had to sit on a bus, then sit down at their house and then got driven home, but I still feel bone weary this morning. It didn't help that DH woke up in the night feeling unwell and that kept me awake for about an hour .

I'm going to see how I am in the morning with regard to going to school tomorrow. DH isn't well enough to give me a lift, so I'd have to walk there and back, then do a very physically tiring job for an hour and a half. The way I feel now I can't cope with doing that. But perhaps if I rest today I'll feel better tomorrow. I probably overdid it last night.

I'm so fed up with having no energy. I'd love to give the house a good clean, take down all the Christmas decorations and iron my work clothes. But I feel too tired to move off the sofa at the moment.

I hope everyone else is feeling more energetic than me at the moment.

Sorry you are still feeling so unwell Hairy. It is draining being drained as well. Hope you start to feel a little better soon. x

Sorry to hear that you’ve had the lurgy. I’d be tempted to stay off a few days - once you’ve got the energy to do things properly at home and go to the shop without feeling tired then go back. It’s a hothouse for germs in school - you don’t want to pick anything else up whilst you’re still battling to get fit.

Thanks Milann . I was considering staying off school tomorrow and you've helped to make up my mind. I'll take a couple of days off to help me recover and see how I feel on Wednesday. If I caught another bug now it would finish me off.

I think that’s a wise decision to get yourself in a better state of health before venturing to work. Couldn’t remember whether you take multi vitamins - might be worth investing in some if you don’t. Hope you feel fighting fit soon.

I've made a list of things I want to do when I'm better and when DH is better (if we ever get better )

-Collect chest and bookcase from Mum's old house
-Tidy and organise my bedroom (with the help of the chest)
-Change our bedding
-Tidy and de-clutter DH's office
-Take down the Christmas lights
-Put all Christmas decorations in the void
-Iron all my work clothes
-Do my two assignments
-Clean DS1's window and wash his curtains
-Get my hair trimmed

With regard to my bedroom, I've got clothes stored in plastic boxes on the floor, so when I get the chest of drawers I should be able to empty the boxes and use them to store other things and put the clothes in the chest.
The bookcase is going to be in DH's office and should swallow up a lot of things and enable us to organise things better in there so DH has a nicer working environment.

I just need to wait until both DH and I get our energy back to do all these things. I wonder when that will be!
