I lasted the day

Yep, I lasted all day at the crop and altho I started off badly, it did get better as the day went on. I was so conscious of coughing and I couldn't really join in with all the laughs that Sandie and Anita were having purely because I just cannot physically laugh. That might sound strange but nothing comes out of my mouth apart from germs - yuuk! I still had a good time but didn't get much done in the way of scrapping as it's been so long I've forgotten how to do it. I finished a CJ LO and did a Halloween page of Jake so I s'pose that's not too bad. Plus I indulged in the chocolate fountain Linda brought along. Was a bit worried it would start me off coughing but I just can't resist choccie - yumm.


As I haven't posted any pics lately thought I would share this one of my little chappie from last weekend. We went to Stewarts Garden Centre to see Father Christmas but he was too afraid. We had a look round their christmas shop and Jakey found a Rudolph hat which he promptly pulled on. Bless him, with that ear poking out he looks just like an ikkle Elf.... aaaaaawwww.

Crumbs!

It's the 1st December and I haven't posted in ages. Well just a quick update as I don't want to bore the pants off you anymore with my 'illness'......

I went back to the docs today for the 5th time in 10 weeks - yes 10 weeks! It now appears I have whooping cough. Strangely this is something that is not always associated with babies and children and can develop in adults even though I've been vaccinated. It's not nice I have to say and having read all about it on t'internet I can now see that it's what I have. At least I now know and I've been given some antibiotics to take for 10 days and an inhaler to hopefully help stop the coughing. Honestly it was getting to be ridiculous. I've been coughing uncontrollably for over 3 weeks to the point of being physically sick. Not nice at all and it's been so exhausting as well. I am really run down. I haven't been out much because a change in temperature causes me to cough, so by being out for a couple hours basically renders me useless for the rest of the day! I now, hopeful, can begin to get better and start living again. Maybe xmas doesn't seem so bad after all.

Off to Linda's all day crop tomorrow with Sandie, Anita and Sue. I so want to go and have a good time. Keep your fingers crossed I can last the day. You never know I might even have some LO's to show you!

Stay healthy!
