I've been up since about 5am as my throat is now swollen as well as sore, and I've felt sick all day. Not great timing, is it? Deb came round at 8am and helped me take my TV to the tip which completely knackered me out. Whatever I've got has sapped all my strength and I need wraith enzyme or something. As soon as I got back from there, me and The Boy went to Ella's to help her move. OMG I have no idea where I found the strength for that but I'm covered in bruises and my whole body aches. At one point I was stuck halfway up her very steep stairs with her wardrobe on my back and we were stuck ~ scary doesn't quite cover it! Didn't finish there till mid-afternoon, so grabbed a quick lunch before going shopping, then came home to finish cleaning the flat and getting everything ready for

colej55 who arrives tomorrow. Actually didn't ~~fall over~~ sit down until nearly 7pm ... just in time for Robin Hood, and I'm sure

mir8lle will be as pleased as I was to hear they will definitely be making a second series :) Didn't actually open any of my cards or presents until just now, that's how busy we've been. Now I'm going to lay on the sofa and eat pizza. And chocolate. And cake.

So I'm sorry I've not replied to emails today and my inbox is pretty full, but as you can see I've not been able to ~ this is the first time I've been able to get on my computer since the early hours of this morning. I will reply soon, I promise, but laying down, pizza and cake come first. I'm sure you understand :)

1. Lay down.
2. Cake
3. Pizza
Never know when you might not make it through to dessert. lol

Sounds like you might have strep throat. If you can and you have, get a small pen-sized flashlight or something similar and a spoon. Go to a nice big mirror. Push down your tongue with the spoon and look at the back of your throat using the flashlight to illuminate. If you have little white looking patches there, then you probably have strep. If you do, then you need to go to the doc for some antibiotics. Also...are you running a temp? You should take it anyway just to make sure.

Take care of yourself.

{{{hugs}}}

ps. What flavor is the cake? :)

I didn't even get to manage cake ~ see now how sick I must be! :P

Gah ~ there's loads of cake in my kitchen and I don't want any of it :/

Still, I hardly ever get sick like this so I shouldn't complain ~ I will try and take it a bit easier whilst

colej55 is here ;)

*hugs*
