    I wasn't feeling so well when I got home from work, so went to bed with a hot water bottle.
    Husband had some pre cooked salmon with tandoori mayonnaise. With bread and tomato. Daughter had a cheese and tomato toastie. 
    I'm just about to have a bowl of soup. Off to Spain tomorrow so need to pack.
