Well finally my head has stopped spinning enough for me to get on the laptop and write my blog. Have really struggled the past few days with what i'm assuming has been a virus or bug of some sort. Started with an horrendous headache that at first I suspected to be the beginning of a migraine but then worsened to the point that I felt as though my head was going to explode and nurofen and paracetemol just weren't taking the pain away. Then followed the sickness and runs and awful dizziness. I felt so poorly that I couldn't lift my head from the pillow. And so I have had to take 2 days off work which is absolutely unheard of! Hopefully I will feel well enough if a little tired to go to work tomorrow. Fingers crossed! So on a frugal front I haven't spent a penny as I haven't been out or eaten. Not that i'm recommending this as a long term fix! Get paid tomorrow so i'm going to start the month in earnest to save every single penny I can. Have been thinking how I could perhaps make a little bit more money to help with the savings. The one thing I do enjoy is baking cakes and would absolutely love to have my own tearoom, that way I wouldn't mind not retiring. But realistically as I can't afford to give up work and start up a business on my own the next best thing is to start on a small scale by baking cakes to sell to friends and family. If this goes well then maybe I can expand it to farmers markets locally. Any ideas would be accepted gratefully!!!
Ok now how have I managed with "Bill" ( my agoraphobia) Firstly I won't stay in the house on my own so when i'm ill this in itself is a real issue and raises my anxiety. Luckily my mum is at home and so I can go there to be "looked after". The only downside of that is being killed by kindness. My mum seems to blame the fact i'm a vegetarian for any illness I get and insists on trying to feed me meat in a way other mothers would administer painkillers or cough medicine. I lost count of how many times I refused a bacon sandwich, ham sandwich, beef and potato pie and beef stew! Finally just to stop her I gave in and ate a tiny bit of stew but fished out the beef. I know! I know! I'm 48 and still scared of my mother!
So despite that, bless her, shes waited on me hand and foot and today even insisting that I get on the scales and weigh myself to see if i've lost weight due to being ill. Unfortunately it doesn't look like I have. Just my luck!
Right thats about as much as my eyes will stand on here tonight so thanks for reading and take care everyone.
