mouse_chalk not around for a little bit...

[mouse_chalk]

It's coming through on Thursday supposedly! :shock:

It was meant to be just in time for our holiday so we could celebrate while we were there.... :cry1:The money I'm spending now is the other spending money I had saved up...

Yeah, I definately need to treat myself some more! I ordered 3 tops from Dotty P and 3 from TopShop..... need to order more....

Dorothy P's have some lovely stuff at the moment. Do you have a Peacocks? I know its a bit 'budget' but I get loads of cardis and jackets there. My friend works there and they regularly give out 40% 'friends and family' discounts .. 40% off an entire transaction. I often go and spend around £100 on stuff which only comes to £60, they do good budget boots and shoes too.

We do have a Peacocks, although I don't go in there all that often. I did just have a quick look on their website, and found some boots for £12 but they only had them in 3 sizes?! :?

I really want this top!

or this one:

but £28 is a lot of money for a top- more than I'd normally spend..... :? Steve reckons I should get it though!

Jen get that lovely man of yours to pop out and get you some fresh unsweetened pinapple juice. its really good can be a little bit stingy but it kills the bad bacteria and leaves the good in your throat. ( i always suffer with sore throats when i get ill) sorry id didnt see this sooner :hug:

 

[pinksalamander]

If you see anything in Peacocks you like (I can check boot sizes for you, they aren't 'quality' but I have a few pairs and they last the winter) let me know and I'll buy them in a few weeks when I get 40% off....

Thanks Fran for the offer! I'll have a look sometime and see if there's anything that would fit my chunky legs lol....

Polly, thank you :hug: No sooner had I mentioned your suggestion to Steve he went out and got me some! I managed a small glass and it went down ok, but I've been really sick since so I can't drink any more just yet Worth a try though, thanks!

I think I'm headed to bed in a few minutes, this is not like me- usually I like to stay up as late as possible :?

 

[Becca]

How are you feeling today Jen?

xx

 

[mouse_chalk]

Thanks for asking Becca!

Still pretty rubbish- my throat isn't as bad luckily, but I still feel really faint and woozy, and soooo sick from the antibiotics I think. I also have this horrible horrible taste in my mouth permenantly (sp?), but apparently that's part of the glandular fever and nothing I can do about it- my Dad said he had it for ages...

I realised earlier that I hadn't left the house since Tuesday/Wednesday last week- and that was only to go to and home from the hospital! :shock: So my mum took me to Outfit earlier and I bought myself a few tops to cheer myself up I'm so tired now though, I'm having a lie down on the sofa.... :? I was only out for an hour or so, Steve will be mad that I've 'overdone' it...

 

[Becca]

Aww dear - feel better soon xxx

 

[Bo B Bunny]

I imagine you do get tired easily! I hated that stuff! I'm glad your throat is a bit better tho!

Are you taking any vitamins? When I had it, my doctor had me start taking an ABDEC Complex vitamin. It really helped a lot.

How are you feeling today?

 

[mouse_chalk]

Do you know, I've not been taking vitamins recently- I never thought to! :shock: I guess I'm missing out on them a lot with all that I've not been eating!

I've managed a couple of small meals the past 2 days though- a couple of slices of pizza last night, and a sandwich today!

My throat still hurts but it's lots better now, so I'm scaling back the painkillers. And I finally took the last antibiotic this afternoon, so hopefully I should stop being so sick all the time!

I'm still getting the fever/sweating/shivering thing though, my glands are still swollen, and I still feel REALLY exhausted and quite woozy. The horrible taste is still in my mouth as well, apparently that can last a long time...

But, I do feel like I'm getting there, slowly!

Thanks for asking! And thanks for reminding me about the vitamins, I'll get Steve to get me some on his way home from work!

Glad to help! I hope they give you a little more energy - even to fight this illness! I know I hate being sick! Drives me crazy!
