I look, as the saying goes, as if I have done three rounds with Mike Tyson and lost miserably.

One eye is red, swollen and looks bruised.

And no, hubby hasn't been knocking me around, it is hayfever again. My eye was itchy and watery this morning when I woke and as the day has gone on is very watery, the eye lid, looking bruised and swollen as I keep checking that there is nothing in the eye - for surely there must be it hurts like hell! but alas no.

My nose is like a tap and that flipping cough is doing my head in, my throat itches so badly, it is like having a leg in plaster and wanting to itch it with a knitting needle, as well as itching ears.

I have taken so many tablets today, had my beconase and really want to cry myself to sleep, I feel like crying just wish it didn't hurt so much!

Hubby heated up a curry for tea tonight, a mixture of Chicken Korma, Chicken Tikka masala, lamb jalfrezi, bombay potatoes, rice and naan bread. I feel I deserve the calories, haven't eaten all day.

I did blitz downstairs, pulled out furniture and dusted and hoovered well getting rid of the cobwebs that seem to gather in the corner of the room. There is stilla mountain of ironing to do but that can wait another day. Hubby, bless him, cleaned all the windows, inside and out, and cut back a few branches of the trees that border our house and the field - you can see daylight in the garden again.

Right off to make a cuppa hope you are all having a good day

Hugs xx
