    I haven't done any of my chores since getting back because I started to feel a bit rough. I've had a lie down but that doesn't seem to have helped :(. I've got a headache, neck ache, ear ache and the sinuses in my cheek feel blocked and uncomfortable :(. I hope I'm not coming down with anything just before I go away.

    Steamy bath, or steam inhalation, plus paracetamol if you can take it.
    Get well xx

    Take care.

    Thanks Beanie. I may just be over tired. I always seem to get ear ache when I've been extra busy. Sometimes I wonder if the flu virus is lying dormant and waiting to come back :eek:.

    Thanks Redo :). I feel a bit better and I've got too much to do to rest today so I'll need to get on with things.

    Today I need to:

    1 Clean out the furry moron
    2 Empty all the bins
    3 Wash some laundry
    4 Fold up clean laundry and put away
    5 Start putting clean clothes in my case
    6 Print off an Amazon voucher for my stepdad
    7 Write in my stepdad's father's day card

    It's a bit grey and rainy outside so at least gardening is off the agenda :D.

    Have a great Sunday everyone :).

    Just an idea about PA - Uni's in the UK have broken up for summer now so I expect the surveys to get less.
    I believe Masters students in the UK are still working so we might get some from them and others not from the UK but I definitely think we will see a lot less.

    That's a very good point EagerElephant, I'd forgotten that PA goes quiet in the holidays.

    Well I've done 3 and 4 and now I feel tired :(. But DH has offered to clean out the furry moron :T.

    Going away will probably do me good because I feel a bit run down and there's not much housework to do at my dad's house as he and my stepmum are very tidy. I offer to help but nothing needs doing half the time :rotfl:. It makes a change from cleaning up after four people.
