Still coughing badly at night, I can't remember the last time I got a good night's sleep Little miss turned up in the night with the sick bowl as she heard me coughing so much, bless her.
Yesterday I spent all afternoon at A&E with little jwil as he fell at school and whacked his head. He's ok thankfully, but has a lovely bruise on his head and scraped knees.
I had actually thought I go sick yesterday to try and get some rest, but didn't feel too bad in the morning so decided against it. I'm glad I didn't, that would have been a waste of a sick day!
It did use up my toil from the weekend though sooner than expected. I'm very glad he's ok though. "Good financial planning is about not spending money on things that add no value to your life in order to have more money for the things that do". Eoin McGee4 -
Glad little jwil is ok after his fall - you are all having a bit of a time of it health wise. Hope the poorlies feel better soon and the coughs subside.2

Oh my goodness, poor little jwil. If it’s not one thing it’s another! I hope you all feel better soon.Not all who wander are lost - J.R.R.Tolkien
