Oh dear, i returned to work after my days off only to be struck down by a vomiting bug, i awoke on saturday morning with a really excruciating pain to my lower abdomen followed by a 40 minute stay in the lavatory, every time i got up i had to sit down again , the next few days followed with severe vomiting, anything that i tried too eat came straight back up.
My lovely husband steve looked after me good and proper and finally today i am able to eat without the food coming back again, i feel quite weak and have develpoed a chesty cough as my hubby has been running a cold the last few days, the woes of winter i think!
On a brighter note we have appeared as a couple of mature gappers in a magazine called woman and home, the feature is about people of middle years who take the bull by the horn and do something different, it reads quite nice really!
my mother has had a lovely birthday suprise bought for her, she is going on holiday to Malta for a month to escape the winter blues , her and her partner are jetting off in a month or so, good for them i say !
Anyway not much to write about at present will add more when fully recovered , cheers!

new year , new beginnings
Well, christmas came and went in a flash for me as i was working for most of it,i made the dinner for 12 people , 3 of which were vegetarians and it all seemed to go quite smoothly, my eldest son was amazed that i held myself together as he half expected me to be in a state of manic chaos...
New years eve was a chance for me to let my hair down and have a drink and a good time, we were up at the village hall for the new year eve and we had taken all our own food , there was a bar and a disco, the hall was packed to capacity as it was the first time an event for new year had ever been held in it.Everyone had made an effort to dress up and my mother and her partner joined us, lots of dancing a lots to drink and the midnight hour came in with Auld Lang Syne and party poppers and kisses all round, it was a lovely evening ,
Next day stephen and i went out for a drive in the car and ended up at Bakewell in the Peak District, it really is a pretty town in a beautiful location and we ambled by the river and watched people feeding the ducks , afterwards we headed off to Hathersage again in the Peak National Park , where we stopped off at the milldale pub and had a warming meal.
The holiday for our youngest son and his girlfriend is almost overand back to university again for him down in London, it was nice having them to stay, our eldest son the language teacher is back at school on Monday , back into the thick of it again , hubby went back to work this week and i am starting on the early shift at 6 am in the morning, the weather is bitterly cold and there i8s a virus sweeping the country at the moment Norovirus, lots of vomiting and upset stomaches , so no doubt we will all be busy on our shifts dealing with poorly folks suspecting they have the virus!!!
Had a lovely e mail from a friend that we met in India, Francine who lives in Australia, she is busy travelling as usual , and hopefully coming to England in April , so it will be great to catch up with her again.
As to new years resolutions , well i didnt really make any , but instead made a wish that all my family members are kept well and happy throughout the year,
