I've Gone All Crusty

Yesterday i was feeling sorry for myself... summer is most definitely NOT my friend =(( .. i'm hoping the continuous river of snot i've had for the past 24 hours is 'just' hayfever and not a full cold.. yesterday i was red-nosed and teary-eyed and sneezing really BIG sneezes.. you know the type- the ones that make you feel like you've taken a layer of skin off the inside of your throat and give you the need to cross your legs rapidly incase of any embarrassing accidents *LOL ...i didn't sleep very well either as the second my head hit the pillow my head filled up with Lord only knows what and my chest felt like i was wearing a bra 5 sizes too small ...y'ooouch! today- i'm as rough as a bears' arse... infact, i went to bed at 9 last night and hoped i'd sleep thro and be refreshed today but at midnight i was back downstairs to take some tablets to combat the pain- i crept about in the dark but Nina was awake and the second i opened the fridge she was up and shouting me.. ...anyhooo... seems like if its not me ill then i am looking after someone who is.. right now- i got a crusty nose (with added flakey bits for good measure) which is better than last nights monstrosity- and today Bens off work- Nina is at the hospital with the development team but i'm hoping to cry off sick and get even just a little time to myself... i'll have to get back to you on how that goes tho... today i wanted to make the most of a lie in with Ben being here but when Nina asked him to get up he said, "no, ask mummy" -so i'm down here and he's still in bed but thats okay- Nina stood at the bottom of the stairs shouting him for half an hour before she decided to go back upstairs.. so whilst i'm not getting a lie in, whilst i'm sat downstairs on my own typing this, i can hear Nina and Ben playing games and singing a whole medley of songs upstairs....HA!!

Don't Come Too Close- You Don't Know Where We've Been

We've been without hot water overnight- landlord knackered the tap years ago but its finally packed up so a couple of days ago he tried to sort it but couldn't.. i said we'd live with it as it was- so when he tried to put it back together he couldn't get it to fit so now he gotta call a plumber and he thinks he's just gonna end up replacing the whole tap and possibly it'll mean he gets a new sink too ...hahaha.. God damn that guys retarded sometimes (i wont' go into detail but he once pulled out an electric drill to screw a ceramic tile to the floor...!!) ...the plumber should at least have everything working, albeit, as bad as it was before so tonight we're all having a bath- we are st-iiiiinky!!

All Good Things Must Come To And End

Mum and Dads four week venture around the Isle of Crete ends soon and they're back this Tuesday ...same day as my sister flies out (altho her flight's from Heathrow so she's driving there on Monday and stopping overnight) ..she's meant to be babysitting at the weekend- not just one child- but the pair of them ...for the first time EVER!! I asked if the girls could stay at her place and all plans were in place- excellent... funny tho- she called me last weekend and asked if i still needed her to come over here to sit with the girls...hmmm *ponders -weird huh ;) ...still, beggars really can't be choosers but i don't think i am up to a night in the cinema coughing, hacking, sniffling and sneezing so i'm probably gonna cancel anyway... and it'll probably be another 3 years til i ask again- typical!
