    I feel like I got totally lost with everything this week.  Emily was off sick on Monday so I didn’t get to 5 ways.  It was quite nice to have a quiet day with Emily, but shame she had to be ill to get that.  She is still coughing, but feels ok.  I now have…

    Our plans for the last two days have been scuppered by Emily having a bad cold and cough.  She has been sleeping in my bed so I haven’t had any sleep.  She is thankfully now on the mend.
