Swine Flu Mayhem!

Oh dear! I am in a bit of a pickle right now! 

We had a lovely weekend and I was reading all your lovely comments that you all left in my giveaway...Thanks gals you ROCK! ;)  and then on Sunday a load of shit nasty things happened!....You see every now and again I think that if you have had a run of good stuff happening, you have to pay with some shit! bad stuff! and that is definitely what has happened...

you see, on friday just gone, I was suffering from hot and cold sweats and even Rosie had a little cough appearing, but we took no notice and I, just put my dizziness and the fact that what with 90 mile an hour winds outside (and I had all the windows open!) was probably coz I was having a menopausal moment LOL!

On Saturday we were visited by the lovely Aya Nomura and Emma Cassi along with her husband photographer, Bertie and Anton her lovely little boy :)  They all came along to photograph our house for a Japanese book coming out in February...

Hello there Bertie :)

This is a lovely Anton...Isn't he gorgeous :D

...and this is the lovely Emma and Aya :)
( I hope you are all OK guys...I'll email you when I can :))

....Anyway we all had a lovely time chatting and getting along and Rosie and I both felt fine!...apart from a lovely BIG cold sore that had appeared on the centre of my lip!!! LOVELY!!! especially for the photographs!!...still Bertie told me he could photoshop that out LOL! ....(he's my friend for life if he can photoshop, my BIG Belly and double chin out too! hahaha!) :D

We had such fun, we laughed and drank tea.....and I never stopped talking...sorry guys :) Freddy played with Anton, they crafted together and had a pillow fight :) in fact they both got on sooo well little Anton didn't want to leave :) ....so the photographs were taken and it was time for them all to go home :(

After they were gone and after about an hour Rosie started to feel sick....she took to her bed and after a couple of hours her temperature had shot up to 39 degrees! she was coughing and her back was aching...OMG it was sooooo worrying, as she has diabetes and has a low imune system...so you can imagine how worried we were!...anyway Fred rang the swine flu hotline and after a few minutes diagnosis they had decided she should be perscribed Tamiflu!....Now whilst all this was happening and before we rang the hotline, Freddy went onto a gov.uk website about swineflu...now he never touches my computer...he would never dare!...but it was all a bit of a panic and whilst he was trying to get Rosie diagnosed...my computer screen went blank as if it was struck by lightning and actually had a major disk error, which now needs a major repair! (it is only 5 months old...so this should not be happening really should it!)....

Rosie is much better now and because we caught it early the Tamiflu and paracetamol working together is really doing the trick...her temperature today was 35.5...PHEW! What a worry that all was....so now Rosie's better and that is all I ever want! and my computer is getting picked up tomorrow...but apparently I will loose data! so thank goodness I have backed everything up! (do! do that folks!) I have all my photo's on 3, 16mb memory sticks!!!LOL! I will never change! ;)

So, I will have to draw the Giveaway, when I get my computer back, as my emails are still going to that computer! Eek! If I can find a way to sort this out before hand I will...but its complicated and I am using Freds Mac here right now and he hasn't got email set up on it - coz you have to pay or something like that!....anyway...any news and I'll let you all know! I will draw it....but please give me a little time until I get it back, they told me about 2 weeks! 

Goodness sake...what's a gal to do without her computer!...hopefully I will make lots of things! I have been thinking about making some pressies, so I'll show you all what I have been upto as soon as I can.  And if you are expecting an email from me...please be patient! I will try and sort it all out gals...slowly but surely :)

The main thing is my Rosie is well and if I have had to pay this way then that is ok! I would give anything to have my children fit and well...sometimes things happen for a reason...

Thank goodness she is Ok now :) and thanks everyone for commenting on my blog...I love you all....Speak soon gals

Oh and sorry for the random piccies here and there! I am choosing from Fred's collection and he hasn't as many as me :)
