To cheer myself up

A post to cheer myself up.  I've had a dodgy stomach, which is very unusual for me as I'm usually proud of my iron-like insides.  I felt a bit rough on Monday but soldiered into work - and the biggest problem of the hour-and-a-half commute is that it's a long way to get back home if you don't feel good.  And I didn't feel good.  Throwing up in the loo at work is not a glamorous moment!  I've done it once or twice when I was younger and more foolish but this was not for alcohol-induced reasons - nor am I pregnant, before yet someone else asks (four to date!!)

The last few weeks have been whirlwind on some fronts - thinking that we've got a house and that we're moving in together really soon and also life has been pretty busy - but not so whirlwind in that solicitors are not moving very quickly and so I've not got any dates to work to.  Which means that it will all happy really quickly at some point soon but until then, I'm trying to sort out papers and bin things that I don't need.  I'm not very good at that part - see earlier posts - and not having a deadline to work to isn't helping.

But other nice things have happened.  We had a weekend in Paris where we were incredibly lucky with the weather.  I had a Eurostar voucher as a present which nearly amounted to one ticket so we got hotel and one more ticket and had a nice weekend.  We walked lots and were surprised how many tourists there still were around - I suppose I shouldn't have been so surprised as London continues to be a nightmare, but it's different when you are the tourist! 

Back to the grindstone - some sorting out to do before dinner .......

  1. Aaah, sorry you feel poorly and hope the bug goes away soon. Horrible having to commute and feel like death at the same time!

    Good luck with the hosue buy and the moving in. What fun. And Paris too! I want to go somewhere. Our last trip away seems forever ago even though it was only at the beginning of August (Olympics). Pouting now!

    Ah well, maybe one day my house will sell and we'll have some spare cash for weekends away. In the meantime, a date at the cinema tonight will have to tide me over.

    All the best hon.
