Actually feeling a bit better today and it's amazing how much more work you can get done if you are not dying in a corner.

You will be dead excited to hear that we have solved most of the problems we were having with water (no hot water, overflowing, no cold water) except that the **** freeholder has not supplied us with enough water to make our hot water work properly.

I'm going to babysit for someone who is in our local LETS scheme today. It's a great idea - exchange your labour for other people's - but so far I've done hours and hours of babysitting (which is really painless, I get my marking done and watch someone else's TV) for not very much at all - some plant watering. Everyone in the scheme does crystal readings and noone does plumbing - or even lifts in cars or ironing which I need!

Current reading: Naked Brunch by Sparkle Heyter. It's the everyday story of a vegetarian werewolf loose in New York City... no seriously, most of her books are not so much in the fantasy vein and have great titles such as Nice Girls Finish Last and Revenge of the Cootie Girls. In fact this is more magical realism with a Bridget Jones/ Drop the Dead Donkey/ Sex and the City twist.
