I was going to take the decorations down today, but I have been laid low with this bloody cold. Now I don't get many colds, and they don't usually last too long, but this blighter forced me to go to bed when I got back from my niece's yesterday, and I've been hugging a hot water bottle on the sofa most of today...in between bouts of coughing. At least I've got some vapour rub and some Benylin cough medicine.

Thanks Freya...at least I know why you were so grumpy last week!

I wish there was somebody around to force me to eat something...just don't want to go and prepare it!

Moan over.

Happy New Year anyway, folks!
