Still here, listeners - snorting and flapping the covers and fussing with tissues, whiling away the time and shouting at the radio when it all gets too controversial. Not that my shout would travel far… more of an etoliated squeak, really.
I have bought myself a bracelet off a friend’s site, to cheer myself up. She’s [...]

Still in bed, and determined to count my blessings!
I can’t talk (a blessing for some)
Listening to Melvyn Bragg on WB Yeats (hurrah, such lyricism)
Looking at a jam sandwich with longing but not sure if I can eat it.
Truce said a true thing - flu makes you feel like an utter Jeanne d’Arc, martyrdom looming o’er [...]

Spent today largely in bed, with my little radio on, listening to R4 and reading / snoozing / waking up / drifting. I have eaten 1 piece of toast, one Mullerlight and shamefully, a Pot Noodle (beef and tomato). I have read 2/3rds of a Bill Bryson about how mad Britain is. I have blogged. [...]

Feeling utterly vile, sweating and choking. Hideous night in the spare room, trying not to cough too much and wake everyone up!
Just waiting till the doctors opens and I’m going to try and get an appointment. Urgh. No question of ’soldiering on’ or any such crip-crap - I’m staying in bed.

The bosses are both off sick today with flu. Luckily for them; they’ve given it to me. I am feeling like hammered s**t and not looking much better, by all accounts. Cough, cough, splutter.

Ok, maybe a bit strong. But I mindlessly demolished a whole Thorntons Easter egg last night while watching Addams Family Values. This was bad, but the worst thing was that I’d dropped the whole shooting match on the floor prior to eating it so what I was actually eating was floor-soiled shards of Thorntons Easter [...]

Oh, shut it, already, P! Everyone goes through this and Mamatried’s right - there are always savings to be made. You pay for what’s important. This is important!
I think it’s a given that the state isn’t interested in the man in the street - that’s why we need a new team at the helm. All [...]

I just replied to a post to Jen, who was encouraging me to go for it, baby-wise. In my reply I worked out I spend about £6,000 a year on Mouse’s nursery. I get 5% discount for 2. So, maybe £11,000 a year to have them both cared for to the high standards you’d rightly [...]

Suddenly had a gloomy, restless spell descend- sturm und drang for sure - could be the result of listening to Metallica while editing the Company Handbook. Enough to make you consider gender reassignment and a stint in ‘Chicago’ just to be busy and cheer yourself up.

I always do my accounts at the start of the month. So, for March, I’ve got the chance to be depressed about money for 27 days straight. Every penny allocated. Everyone will get paid, all bills will be covered, all promises kept. Food will go on the table, babysitters will receive their remuneration. I have £50 [...]
