Suspected COVID here, DP tested positive on Sat and I am few days late with symptoms.

Retired to bed at 8 pm, it’s amazing how everything can be put hold when you are ill. Usually, I don’t stop with some or other “needs doing” until 9.30.

Food - whenever I am ill or PMS, I crave carbs all day long and never put on any weight, unlike in good times when every croissant adds a pound. So, massive portion of Jersey Royals with butter for dinner tonight.

Now curl up with iPad, tea and a bowl of sultanas, and wonder why I don’t cut myself more slack when I am on top form?

What makes you feel better when you’re sick?

The mint magnum type ice lollies from Aldi. No other ice creams will do.

My DH makes me tuna macaroni when I'm unwell or just exhausted. He doesn't like it so it's just for me. I love him very much.
