Hope you feel better soon KK.

I get paid early too in December but just ignore it.

Hoping you're still at home (assuming you are still icky) (& assuming you have Nurse Chloe).  Don't forget that once you start to feel better you still need recovery time.

Thanks for the suggestions re the pay and the good wishes, I do appreciate them 😊 @PennysIntoPounds, @redofromstart, @ladybird1106, @Cheery_Daff, @skint_spice and @Brie 😊

I have stayed off today. I slept well but woke feeling as weak and wobbly as a baby kitten. I have managed to do a bit of work - writing up some minutes which is always better done when the memories are fresh and getting boss to a) review them and b) move the date of the next meeting (which he’d scheduled for first thing in the morning on the first day back! 😳😂). Minutes are circulated and everyone can get on with their actions now, can’t they … 😉

Eating is being a real challenge. I’m really not interested and I found eating a normal breakfast this morning (2 boiled eggs and a piece of sourdough toast) a real battle. I’m not sure if that’s what knocked me off my feet, but I suddenly became incredibly tired and sleepy - went to bed for 30 minutes and ended up staying there all morning. I’m a bit concerned about taking painkillers etc without any food on board so when I popped out to get more painkillers for Mr KK and cough mixture and decongestants for me I bought a Victoria sponge from coop. The epitome of UPF really but at least I had something on board for the next batch of meds …

I can’t see me being back in work tomorrow either.

There's so much going around in our workplace. Many have dragged themselves in with it. But I think if you don't catch it at work you're bound to get It somewhere else. It's the season to be sharing (bugs) eh. I hope you're starting to feel better soon xx

If you require victoria sponge then so be it.
Non UPF didn't stop you catching lurgy did it, so it can darn well buck its ideas up while it stares on enviously at you having your lovely comforting cake

Ha! Thanks PiP 👏😊😂

I still can’t face eating-eating so whilst Mr KK has a supermarket curry and rice I’m having a sort of salad (lettuce baby tomatoes and cucumber) and fruit for tea - all raw - that’s all I fancy … 🤷‍♀️

Hope you feel better soon KK! Sounds like you needed the sleep.

Medicinal cake is totally allowed. 
I seem to remember my step-gran claimed she   only wanted fresh cream chocolate éclairs after one of her surgeries, it was a 5 mile round trip on foot down country roads to the shop that sold them.  I walked down  every other day for 3 weeks and bought a 2 pack.  She had crackers too.  Hardly a balanced diet, but she survived. 
 You hunted your own. 
Take the time you need to recover and you will be bulletproof over Xmas and into the New Year.  It is time well spent at home. No-one thinks you are slacking.

Wow! That is an epic effort for her! I hope she was worth it? 😉

My fever has broken! 🤩🎉🎊 But I am still very coughy and gloppy so I will take another day before going back to work.
