Aaaaatishoo

Yes I have have the cold! Made it into work on Friday but only until 12:30 and only to do the most pressing tasks. My back is not much better but Elaine my dear friend and wonderful masseuse is going to give me a back massage tonight which should help if it's not too far along.

As I felt like crap when I came home I went to bed as Elaine had said to pop up in the afternoon if my back was so bad. She said she had a couple of things to do in town and would call when she got back in. I went to bed at 1 pm and awoke in the dark at 5 pm!!!

I had my massage that night though and touch wood the pain has gone - should really do it more regularly - John and I had to go to Tesco shopping as he was working in the morning when all I wanted to do was go to bed! Still had to pick Tori up from Daryn's and then had a call from her about 10:45 to say could I pick her up and bring £10 as she owed it to Courtney and would it be ok to drop her off to see her when I picked her up. However what she actually needed was not her mum to bring her home but a atm taxi driver! I collected her and drove her appoximately 250 yards to where Courtney was and she said she was staying the night! Later she called to say that she didn't feel well and that C's dad was bringing her home! I was right I do have mug imprinted on the front of my forehead!

Felt like the walking dead when I got up on Saturday. Had promised Julie would look after the kids in the morning (before the lurgy struck) however they were a a pair of angels and gave me no problems, Scott arrived home sharpish and i got back to my bed for the afternoon.

Elaine and Ewan had asked us to join them for dinner at the Cochrane and by 5pm I felt a bit better so we went. I had yummy spicy lamb which helped to clear my nose and a lovely milk chocolate torte. Ewan was driving so we went back there for a couple of drinks and got a taxi up the road.

Tori moody when we got it - apparently Daryn had been to tired to come round and so she had been on her own. Moaning about there being nothing to eat even though she'd had something before we left. The fridge is full of veggie stuff and salad - but Tori wants it now! I couldn't go straight to bed and watched the end of Flatliners while she made herself wedges and salad (now why couldn't she have done that earlier?)

John had went to Leigh's straight from work and got in about 3:30 am. I went back to bed!
