Illness and housework

I've decided that illness and housework do NOT mix.  This week our entire family came down with a nasty D&V bug.  I tried really hard to keep going throughout the entire episode but by yesterday I was feeling quite ropey.  Last night was horrible for me, I feel so sorry for the kids if that's how they've been feeling.  Thankfully it seems quite short lived, so hopefully other than myself and son #4 everyone seems to be over it.

Today I have been running between cleaning and tidying, looking after the kids and baking!  Tomorrow we have my MIL over for "Christmas Dinner" with her partner.  I'm excited to be cooking but also a little worried about the fact I still feel quite weak from this bug.

I'm just about to go and bake some yummy vanilla cookies, and some banana bread for the occasion too.

Tomorrow I need to be organised.  I need to get up early, do my hair, clothes and make-up and then do a bit of cleaning before I start cooking.
