Feeling slightly better but we had a full day, as we drove Lee back to Worthing.
The journey was OK and thankfully Tim had made some lovely food for us when arrived, although neither of us could eat it all.
Then a drive back .
Sunday we were both feeling better but still far from 100% but my wife was off to work and went to see my parents for breakfast.
I had a good sleep but still felt rough in the morning.
I did some work and to save cooking in the evening, we got fish & chips, which was nice but neither of us had much of an appetite.
I woke feeling even worse but dosed myself up and went off to Bath for a works Christmas Do.
So I had to dress-up, which I don't like and I cut myself shaving, so I wasn't feeling at my best but caught the train.
Annoyingly I've gone down with a cold, and I've had work come in, and probably worse of all, we have never been so behind in our preparations, and it was clear that we just wouldn't have time to get the normal decorations down from the loft and to decorate the house, so I popped out to "Propper job" and bought a load of decorations and had the front-room decorated for when my wife came home, which I think she appreciated.
In the evening I did a Mexican, with lots of Quesadillas.
My wife is still full of a cold.
Doing a bit of work and we finished of the curry in the evening.
My wife was still full of a cold & cough.
I did some work and made a curry in the evening, using the leftover lamb in ours and lots of vegi's in the one for the kids.
It wasn't perfect but it was OK.
I got up to do some work,letting my wife have a much earnt lie-in but unfortunately when she did get up she wasn't feeling great.
Thomas had been out shopping after work and when he came home found a box of biscuits had been delivered to us but left out by the side of the house and was soaked thru.
Luckily the biscuits inside were all individually wrapped & perfect but we have no idea who they are from.
Did some work but tried to relax a bit.
In the evening my wife was feeling well enough to go to her Christmas Do and Thomas made a very tasty Asian broth, tofu & noodle diner.
Just about caught up with my sleep. Made me & Lee some nice poached eggs on muffins for breakfast, then had work to do.
In the evening made quick salmon & new potatoes, with veg & hollandaise sauce. As we had a fairly big & late lunch I didn't do many potatoes.
It was nice to have a lie-in, then do a bit of work.
Made a very lovely vodka rigatoni in the evening, used single cream instead of double (as my wife did the shopping) and I think it was better than normal.
We were up really early to get to Plymouth for 7:30am for Lee. We dropped them off and went for a nice breakfast at Plymouth Hoe.
Everything went well and we were all back in Taunton by 1:30pm but unfortunately there was a power-cut, so we were sat in the cold & dark, so at least we could relax.
The power came on after 7 by which time we were about to order dinner, so carried on and ordered a McDonalds.
