SICK AND TIRED OUT !

 What a day yesterday. I have some sort of flu-like virus and I feel a bit rough and couldn`t do any journal reading or writing as my poor head was thumping. I did go out for the day with hubby Jim regardless because as I`ve got the week off I wasn`t going to miss out. We went shopping to IKEA and had a very good, though tiring day. We spent very little and brought home a lot because of the cheap prices there. It is a giant of a place and very Swedish and hubby insisted on doing his Muppet show impression of the Swedish chef every 5mins........but never mind, I ignored him and the odd looks he got along the way ! They had a huge restaurant there and the food was gorgeous. We had swedish meatballs and afterwards strawberries and cream washed down with very good coffee, which you could top as often as you like free of charge. It all came to £11.40p for both of us. Excellent value for money I have to say.

After IKEA and feeling very footsore I swallowed some more paracetomal and we headed off to visit hubby`s mum. The we went on to his sisters where we were till 6.30pm because we had to wait for the evening traffic to die down. Anyone who has ever travelled on the North Circular out of London knows exactly what I mean !

When we finally got home I was going to look at this journal but decided that my head wasn`t up to it, so I went to bed with some crosswords and a book until I couldn`t stay awake any longer and slept like a baby.

This morning it was raining that nasty, drizzly stuff thats chills you right through so decided to stay in and read some journals and some good stuff there is too. Reading Kathy`s journal, there was a link called Secret Santa names. This is mine : HORNY-ELF !

                     Hubby`s HORNY FAIRY

            Daughter`s  TUMBLEFLUMP BUNNY- TINSEL

            Son`s            FROSTY HORNY-GNOME

I did work out that the HORNY part of our name comes from our surname because daughter is married and is the only one without HORNY. Though how anyone with a russian surname like hers can be called TUMBLEFLUMP BUNNY-TINSEL I don`t know!   I think when we have our Christmas get together we can all use these names in conversation, it will be good for a laugh.........................
