WOYWW 129

Thanks as always to Julia for organising our weekly nose around into each other’s tidy (or otherwise) work desks. To find out more details, click the link in my sidebar and come and join the fun.

I’m afraid I haven’t got a photo this week. I have only been in my ARTHaven to dump things. Last week you may remember I was wondering whether I’d make it to the group to do my Bible teaching as my throat was starting to feel a bit sore. I did manage to go, and we all had a great time together, and the meeting was a huge success, I’m happy to report! However, immediately after it was finished, I started to feel very unwell indeed, with the shivers, and my throat feeling a lot worse, so when I got home I had a bath, which failed to warm me, and took to my bed. By the evening my voice had completely departed, and it’s now back by only about a tenth! I’ve had a temperature most of the week, and my throat is still very sore, as have been my ears and my neck, and also an almost constant headache, which all would have been an awful lot worse if my wonderful hubby hadn’t plied me with Lemsips, and my next door neighbour turned up with a bottle of glorious home made spiced elderberry cordial! I’m now coughing which hurts, and doesn’t do much good.

So… I have done nothing creative all week. Wonderwoman, my home help, is coming in first thing tomorrow to give me an extra hour this week, to do the ironing for me!

As a result of all this, I’ve been even more hopeless than usual at following up everyone’s blogs – I’ve managed to visit a few, and thank you to all of you who popped over to mine and left such nice comments.

Have a great WOYWW everyone, and let’s hope for better things this coming week!!

  10. I am so sorry you are still feeling rough. I am glad you have some nice neighbours, a sympathetic hubby and efficient home help, so you do not have to manage alone. Hopefully another week of care and you will be on the mend.
    You're in my thoughts and prayers. Kate x

  12. Sorry to hear you are feeling ill! There has been a stomach virus going around here so I can empathize...although I think I would rather have it then a bronchitis/laryngitis. Hope you are better soon! Have a great week and thanks for sharing. Vickie #64

  13. I am late, as usual these days, in commenting - had such a busy day with a house full of men - five tradesmen and him indoors. At least I have a shower now!
    So sorry to hear you have had the lurgy - my voice went the other week, could not believe it. Mind you I was not ill with it like you sound to be, take care and remember to drink lots and get plenty of rest. I want Shoshi back next week. Hugs, Neet xx

  15. Sounds like you really succumbed to the flue bug with no voice and no wish to craft... it really does knock you for six when you get it. Hope you are feeling better soon!! Annette #11

  16. Sorry you are hit by the Lurgy. Sounds mad, but sometimes the body needs to be ill to get back on track. Just take lots of rest and enjoy the blessings of Superwoman and having a long lie down...Get well soon...
    Thanks for taking some time to share your desk...Sarah at 14.

  19. Sorry to hear you have been unwell. There is alot of it about at this time of the year, and I don't think the damp weather is helping. I think we need a good sharp cold spell to kill the bugs.
    Hope you are back on your feet real soon and we can see your desk then! Thanks for popping by mine though.

  20. Oh poor you, there's a lot of it going round at the moment, and I think I am about to succumb to the same thing, unfortunately,

    But the craftiness will resume once we are over this bug!!
    Thanks for popping over,

    Happy WOYWW

  24. Hope you are feeling better soon, Colds are awful and headaches are so debilitating. Thank you for the comment on my wreath, try to have a lovely weekend and don't pass it on to hubby. Laura

  25. Oh Shoshi, I'm sorry you were/are so sick! I know you said you could tell it was coming. I hope you are on the upswing now and feel better soon. I just came down with a sore throat during the night, but I'm sure mine will go away soon. I know it won't turn into a throat infection like yours. Take care!!

  30. Well, it's been a couple of days since WOYWW so I truly hope you're starting to feel better. I discovered the can of spray paint I had wasn't silver but gold, so now I have a gold wreath to decorate instead of a silver one, which had been my plan!!

    Hugs
