Firstly, one of the most useful things you can buy is Baby Wipes. We have used baby wipes more for things OTHER than wiping a baby than I care to mention.. they can clean up spills and stains, wipe off makeup, remove dust from furniture, clean parts of a car, TV Screens. You name it..
Take my word for it, go and buy a pack of Baby Wipes, you won’t regret it.
Secondly, this is true.
Well I figured I’d get a long bitchy post out about having the flu so I can shut up about it. Truth is that this has knocked me for six and I’m literally stunned at how bad it’s been.
In response to the same question I get asked every time when I tell people (which given this is over the course of 48 hours, is somewhat tedious) NO IT IS NOT ‘MAN FLU’. I am never, ever going to claim ‘Man Flu’ when I have a cold again.. I would trade this in for a heavy cold in a second.
It’s been weird, on Friday I woke up and all my muscles were in agony when I moved, I had a fever, a headache and I was sweating buckets. No work for me… not in a “I have a cold, but I could go in”, I could not physically move.
Today, now specifically, is the most horrible.. even though the headache and fever have gone. Now I only have one symptom, but it really is the worst. I am so weak. (Apparently the virus inflames the muscle fibres throughout the body stopping them contracting properly). I kid you not when I say this morning I could not push through my Lemsip through the blister pack, I have to overcome the fridge door with two hands and about 10 mins ago I had trouble undoing my belt!!
One good thing is my appetite, or the fact I don’t have one, which means I’ve lost about 6lbs. Not the best way to do it but I’d be happy to keep it off.
This sucks.. and if you see any man in the future claiming to have flu who is lifting anything heavier than a remote control, he’s got a cold.
Given that I’ve stopped posting on my other blog, I think it’s time to update here.
I’m in the process of building this site up, I’m not too enamoured with the downloadable themes but right now I don’t really have the ‘umph’ to do a custom one. Getting my head around Twitter and stuff as well.
Getting my head around a lot at the moment.

..other than how many newborn babies could you fit into your trousers whilst wearing them.
Thanks for that Dave..
I realise that updating this often isn’t one of the things most forefront in my mind at the moment, which is ironic given I have much to rant about. Well that’s not true, I don’t.. but I am very stressy at the moment.
One of the most unusual things about having a ‘public’ blog these days is that I now have to watch what I say. On my old private one (which I hope I can return to posting on soon!) I could say pretty much what I wanted and know only a select few could read it.. now, anyone can read this. Scary…
GH3 and I had some stern words the other night, but I’m back into it. I’m wavering betwen comfortably good at Medium and unsettled and not as good as I’d like to be on Hard. Expert is still for another day.
I have 207 friends on Facebook.. what a TOTAL whore.
I am now going to refrain from entering any further slapping competitions as I have a perforated eardrum.
I like it. GuitarHero.com is a bunch of arse compared to Scorehero.com and I’m thinking of a way to link the two together somehow using my l33T Sk1Lz, but other than that I don’t seem to see the downsides to it like other reviews.
Meanwhile if you are a cyclist and you do not obey the Highway Code, you deserve to get knocked off your bike. I see you every morning and am waiting for that day to happen. I hope it’s not fatal, but enough to teach you a lesson.
