Ugh …. There are a lot of people having travel issues today. Hope you get home to your bed soon!

Ugh - what a Palaver - I'm so sorry the transport gawds didn't favour you on the way home So thankful you had a nice warm place to hang out in while craziness ensued at the station.  Fingers crossed you get home and into bed soon & that a restful day is had tomorrow.

I'm just home a short while ago, have scoffed some bits from the fridge & sent off the last few e-mails of the day. Off to bed now, then up early for an 8:30 physio appt! Then back online for a day of crazy unplanned working from home!

Made it home 😊 about 2 mins after Mr Cheery, who was still messing about in the car when I got back 😊

That sounds like your connections worked well then!

 Hope you manage a lie in this morning.

Well, I removed myself to the sofa about an hour ago and have been lying here making notes about work that have been running through my head, so I'm going to say no 🙄😂 

My on-again-off-again sore throat over the last couple of weeks (which I was optimistically attributing to a LOT of talking lately 🙄) is developing into something rather more painful 🙄Not surprising, given how run down I likely am.

But these things often seem worse in the dark, so I've taken some painkillers, and now I've written down all the work stuff that was swirling about, I'm going to see if I can get back to sleep for a few  hours and hopefully that will make me feel better!

Ugh! That’s rubbish! I hope you’ve gone back to the land of nod now. I get a sore throat when I’m feeling run down, so you have my sympathy on that score too. Lots of vitamin C needed today!

I think you know that my usual treatment for a sore throat that I suspect might be heading into a tonsillitis sort of thing is blazing hot drinks and a stiff talking to - it’s amazing how often the combinations seems to do the trick. 

And of course the hectic week you’ve already had would have to have been made a degree worse by the train mess last night. Notwithstanding the awful situation for the person originally involved and their family and friends, the knock on effects from how it was then managed absolutely did affect you negatively as well - and lots of others too of course but I imagine a fair few of them may not have been going as far as you. Very glad you eventually made it home whenyou did, and that it wasn’t any later. 

Hopefully any working you need to do today is not going to be all day and you do get some proper rest time later. NO LISTS! Not today! 😘

That's so rough for you, Cheery (and RT, good heavens that's late) I hope the extra sleep helps you.  And yes, mega doses of Vit C are a good idea.

Thank you all xxx

Today has NOT been relaxing for various reasons 🙄 but we are ending with some positives:

* I don't feel physically any worse than yesterday 😂

* the cellar only has 2 foot of water in it 🙄😂

* I finally reached £25 payout on Onepoll! Definitely worthy of celebration! 😂 It's actually not take that long - first survey was 14th August, so just over 2 months. Might even be able to get to payout again before Christmas! 😃

Meant to be going to a friend's gig tonight, but we're not going - Mr Cheery's not feeling well, and there's quite a bit flooding on the route 🙄 Friends are meant to be coming here tomorrow, but that will entirely depend what the roads look like 🙄

It may end up being rather a quieter weekend than anticipated if half the roads are shut!

I hope you manage to get a restful night and everything is a little more settled in the morning Cheery xx
