not to get out of bed until pick up time?

[LEMmingaround]

I have a bad cold. Yesterday i had to work - dome heavy duty cleaning. I really pushed it and felt better for it. But today i feel awful.
I feel guilty because dp is working in his shed/workshop and has the same cold.
The house is a pigsty and getting worse.

Will i just feel worse festering in my pit?? Dogs are happy mind. Keeping my feet warm

Compromise! Do a few chores now then go back to bed, or go back to bed and get up after lunch.

YANBU. Rest if you need to rest.

I'm a big believer in rest and plenty of fluids in this situation. So make a flask of lovely hot tea, snuggle in with your dogs. The mess won't be much worse tomorrow, so deal with it then.

And ignore the long suffering looks from your DP. But perhaps make him his favourite dinner to assuage your guilt .

If you're ill then stay in bed.

Housework can wait. Is the Queen coming? No.

Rest, get better and then spend another day cheerfully cleaning your pit.

Bugger 'im, his cold is obviously not as bad as yours .

One day rest will set you up and give your body the chance to recover. My DH likes to be a martyr and carry on pushing himself, whereas I am lazy kind to myself, I have stopped feeling guilty.

If DH needs to he can have a sick day too, if he wants to carry on fine, but that shouldn't stop you having a bed day. If you feel too bad stick some ashing on and make him a sarnie for his lunch and pop it in the fridge, then you will have done a bit.

washing not ashing!

Managed to stay in bed til 1.30. Got up did some admin. School run. Then the dreaded maths homework while trying to do dinner. Feeling REALLY sorry for myself. Have another cleaning "job"/fsvour to do tomorrow and i honestly don't know where i will find the strength

You need to rest. Colds are shit things to have. Leave the cleaning and snuggle up in bed till you're feeling better.

Cant leave the cleaning. It's for a friend who is in hospital. Ill be fibe. In bed now so should be rested.
