I am off sick from work for the fist time in a long time today. I have a cold and a chest infection. I should be ok. I am fitter and healthier than I have been for years. This last two weeks have been awful for sleep deprivation with both my daughter and husband off sick with their coughs and chest infections. I have also had a lot of stress and have been busy at work which is emotionally demanding. So I suppose I had it coming.

The builders are still in but progress has been made. They have done some plastering and the electician is in now.

The good thing about being off sick on a day like this is that I can spend a bit of time with my friends in blogland and also enjoy the sunshine while it is there. Being sick isn't all bad. I even managed to do some house work. Gotta take it easy though or I won't get better in time for the weekend when I am selling stuff at a canal fest.

I hope veryone else is well and happy

I wa chuffed to bits that they were going to remake this and now even happier that my friends daughter has been offered a part in it.

Her ame is not on the list as she wasoffered it after this press release. She has already been in casualty for quite a few episodes and some adverts.

I have decided to have a nice easy going day today. I have got some things to do but one of them won't be racing around. I even had a lie in despite hubby's cough. He took a day off work yesterday which is something he doesn't do lightly.

Hope you all have good weekend, I am off to do some finaces now.

Can't believe it is over a week since I popped in. I had a good weekend last weekend at the Americana Auto Rally. This means I sold enough to ocver my costs. The sun shone most of the time but when it did rain, at 2 o'clock on Sunday afternoon it was the kiss of death.

Well since then I have been tired out. I was at a wedding reception on Sunday night. I was so tight on time that I was in the shower when my friends came to pick me up. Monday I was wiped out and then Tuesday son No 2 was 18 so we had a little party. Cooking for our extened family was a bit of a trial. We are taking him out on the town tonight. First evening out as a legally drinking adult. We are also taking Son No 1 and his girlfriend so it should be a good night.

Work has eased off and I was at a pain conference today. The roof is on the extension and the walls have now been breached. We have new doorways and we will be able to mark up where we think our furniture is going.

Right, time for a little nap.

Have a good weekend folks.
