Not done an update for yonks.
Was ill last week, first time I've phoned in sick in over 5 years, didnt want to, but had a headache for 5 days previous that just wasnt shifting, so went to docs.
Apparently it was a sinus headache (felt like my head was going to explode when I bent down). He gave me antibiotics, which 3 hours after taking the first one, I was violently ill. I perseverd for 2 days with them, unable to eat, getting nauseous at the sight or smell of food, headache still there only worse (think my doctor was trying to kill me!)
Went back and he gave me a lower dose, and I improved no end, appetite came back and finally on Saturday my headache went!
Hate being ill, and not being able to do anything, couldnt even play sims2 or watch a dvd as no concentration.
Also Tom was up in Scotland working and had to stay there for 2 weeks, so was quite lonely.
Though Saturday my sister and her husband came over with katie (6), had a nice chinese, and caught up on gossip. Her eldest Chloe came over on the Sunday with my mum and dad, and we went out for a meal in the afternoon. Chloe is 15 and a typical sulky teenager. Has so many boyfriends, is always getting beaten up or threatened at school, mainly because they think she is after their boyfriends or something. She hasnt completed a whole week since christmas, she truants, my sister is at her wits end with what to do.
They were going to send her to boarding school, but she changed her mind, then they offered her to change schools but she said she cant be bothered now. Its sad that she hasnt got any best friends like I did when I was at school. She isnt doing her work as she is constantly worried about the other girls bitching about her and threatening her. She isnt a bad kid but seems to have lost her way a bit! I dont think it does help that Dean isnt her real dad, (her real dad left my sister when chloe was 2 weeks old and denys all responsibility) Dean is really the only dad she has known, he is in the force, police seargent which I think doesnt help either, its probably not cool to have a copper for a dad when your a teenager lol
Into 24 at the moment, I brought seasons 1-4 for Tom last year and we hadnt got round to watching them. He started the first and raved about it so I got into it aswell. Now on season 3 and he is on season 4. Its one of those things you have to watch in one go, I have to do 4 episodes back to back. Its so twisty and turny and you need to know whats going on its addictive.
Trying to keep up with the workouts 5 days a week, doing the ww perfect fit, its good as you can pick and choose from up to 15 different 5 min sections. So you can do hour if you have the time or squeeze 30 mins in. Its high interval training, so you do some cardio to get your heart rate up, then sculpting and toning and your heart rate still stays high (thats meant to be good apparently lol). Mixing that in with my bodypump free weights work. Noticed difference in my thighs and hips,though the weight is a bit slow at coming off (but then i am such a food pig I love my food lol).
Still waiting on the builders to come and sort out the damage from buncefield. Both upstairs rear windows need replacing, lots of loose bricks around these windows (one push and they would come out!). They have found asbestos in the artexing (i hate artexing!) so we have to have proper people to remove all this before any other work can be done. Then they will fill in any cracks, and redecorate both rooms top to bottom.
Was tempted to get another kitten but I think 3 cats is enough, they drive me round the bend, especially when they all start whinging for food or to go out (why do cats want to be out when in, but when you let them out they want to be in again).
Will soon be summer though wahey :o)
