I'm trying to decide whether to continue with the idea of throwing DH a surprise birthday party, or booking a cruise that takes in both new years and his birthday...

The cruise would be easier to organise and he'd love it.

He'd love having a party with all of his mates who live no where near us.

The cruise would cost more, and we'd need to make sure it can fit around work.

There is a minimum of a 7 night stay out at the lake where I'd throw the party, so all of the guests would either have to book for 7 nights, or find accom in town... Which is a pain...

hmm... I might need to start a poll

These winds tonight are freaking me out

We don't have any trees around us to shield the house from the wind and this is out of control

The wind is pretty bad here too. Maybe having no trees around is a good thing Bec, you wouldn't want a large branch through your roof!

So.....I've been sick again for the last week. Only the 4th time this winter!

Been coughing my lungs out, awfully scratchy and sore throat. Today was the 1st day at work for me this week. Dosed myself up with numbing strepsils and soothers. Completely killed any feeling I had in the throat with the combination.

Now I'm home and am starting to settle in for the weekend. I'm starting to feel the effects of w-o-r-k and all that coughing. My throat is killing me! I'm going to have to take some pandol for the pain.


Have a great weekend all!

Hope the weekend helps the recovery PIO. DD1 has been home all week with severe hayfever (Steroids) and DD2 concussion yesterday from a softball incident (only have private health insurance for her). DD1 now coughing and spluttering from all the yuck with the double dr visit yesterday is sure just the effects of the hayfever. Grrrr. She is in the middle of assessments and needs to get over this. So we are in sympathy with you recovering...

We are having a PJ Weekend, supplies were purchased on the way home, DH away. Girls only weekend with no sport, sleepovers, school activities, work..

So what does one do? Ring WDW Oh the scheming in my head...

I rang DH he looked a little

Have a great weekend everyone
