Thanks All

Just home - and starting to celebrate....off to O2 tomorrow night to see Il Divo - which I am really looking forward to.

.....hopefully this evening solving some puzzles - which I havent had a chance to look at for a couple of days.....

[Bunnylump]

Lucky girl. Hope you have a fabulous time!

[SparkOut]

Best birthday wishes to those I missed, I hope you had a great day

[chazzie]

Thank you Sparkout - how are you?

[SparkOut]

Lots better now thanks, I am short on stamina and my musculature has been dramatically reduced, as well as more than 2 inches from my waist. Apart from still tiring quickly, I am fit enough and back to work now for a couple of weeks.

[chazzie]

Good to hear you are on the mend - take care

[LAT]

Yes indeed - good to hear you are recovering. Hope it continues and you are back to full strength again soon.

[Bunnylump]

Some people will do anything to be able to watch daytime TV.

Glad to hear you're feeling a bit better, Sparkout.

[LAT]

I was feeling a bit jealous of the losing 2 inches from the waist.

[SparkOut]

I actually didn't watch any TV. I couldn't hold a book even, let alone read one. I managed very little more than logging on with my phone for a few minutes at a time. I certainly don't want to to get anything like it ever again. Believe me, it's not a pleasant alternative to a calorie controlled diet.

[LAT]

I do appreciate that! It sounds pretty horrible. So glad you are recovering now.

[Bunnylump]

I must say, it did sound absolutely hideous. Did they ever work out what it actually was?

[Wulfruna]

That is really rotten when it takes away mental energy as well and the days drag by.... so glad that things are improving and hope you will soon be back to strength.

The nearest description applied was "a flu-like virus" with "additional bacterial infections".
Thank you all for your very kind wishes, but I feel guilty that I have diverted this topic. I'm honestly lots better, please can we revert to birthday wishes now?

[chazzie]

Ok - whose birthday is it next ....when do we expect some delicious cake?
