Grr - I hate being ill!! Having had a few pretty good months with my ME it has given me a nasty surprise this week by relapsing. It is almost worse to feel ill again after feeling so well as I had started to think that I might finally be on my way to full health again. Sigh, I guess it is going to take me that bit longer. It is just so annoying to ( Read more... )

I am doing really well for socialising this week. On tuesday Stephen and I went out for dinner with Amber and Bruce, and on wednesday Stephen, Linda and I went over to Kat's house for dinner. It was loverly to finally meet Bruce after hearing so much about him over the last few weeks. He is very sweet indeed and seems completely smitten with Amber ( Read more... )

Stephen, Nick and I watched 'The Wicker Man' last night. It is a very odd film indeed. It is described as a horror film, but it didn't make me jump or scream, instead it just got more and more unsettling as it progressed until it reached its highly shocking climax. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to watch something unusual that will make ( Read more... )

After a busy Saturday had a very lazy Sunday indeed. I watched 'Mean Girls' to carry on my girly film weekend and would highly recommend it. It is much wittier and entertaining that you would think - it is a surprisingly clever film. And for all those 'Scrubs' fans out there - the janitor is in it playing the father of one of the teen stars. 'Twas ( Read more... )

Mum and Dad came down to Reading for the day yesterday. We had a really nice day. We went to La Tasca for lunch and had some really yummy tapas, and then came back home and showed them our loverly house. They were very impressed that we have found such a nice house after all the slightly dingy places we have lived in before. It was really nice to ( Read more... )

All week in work there have just been two members of staff in because of illness and holidays. Our manager returned from sick leave today and was really pleased with how well Jennifer and I had coped!! She said that we had done really well and that she would be praising us to her manager. She said that she hadn't been worried about the office at ( Read more... )

Well its back to work tomorrow for me and Stephen. Sigh. It has been a really nice week off and both of us agree that a life of leisure suits us down to the ground. For a start I can sleep as much as I want and you all know how much my ME appreciates extra sleep. I know that once I get to work I will enjoy myself though - I am sure there will be ( Read more... )

Stephen and I both have this week off work - hurray!! It has been so nice to relax and be lazy etc. And get to spend a decent amount of time with Stephen after his having to work loads of overtime recently. Hmm, the only problem is that we are both enjoying this time off so much that neither of us are at all keen to go back to work on Monday. Ah ( Read more... )

I had a really busy/fun day on saturday. Stephen, Alex (my brother) and I went up to London to meet up with some friends (Tom and Liz) and we had a great time chatting and catching up. When we got back from London we joined Kat et all in the pub to celebrate Kat's birthday. Then on the way home took a wee bit of a detour and ended up on Annemarie's ( Read more... )

Woo hoo!! Two whole days before I have to come back to work - it's always such a nice thought to have. Especially as Monday should be a pretty good day as I will be off taking minutes for the Implementation Group at The Avenue School (Leanne - didn't you do CSV volunteering at The Avenue?) for most of the afternoon. I do enjoy taking minutes as it ( Read more... )
