I had stomache cramps that wouldn't let me sleep so got up at 3 am and started clearing stuff out of the cupboards in the kitchen. Then went with Barabar to look at linos and rugs for down stairs, got back and was ill - crashed in a big way and slept until Clair arrived at 5 pm. Feeling dreadful but we managed to get quiet alot of stuff cleaned up - which is hard due to there being no water - then Al cooked dinner and informed me an animal had shredded one of the black rubbish sacks so had to clear that up - probably a cat after the dispossed of cat treats.
Hurting lots, feeling sick - the lump in my belly is very pronounced and hurting lots and I just generally feel low and wiped out.
Sorry this isnt more upbeat.
Oh and we had to put the flood defenses back up becuase they'd warned of more rain to come :(
I've been puking and the other and its not fun, feeling freezing cold when Al asures me its warm and then feeling the shards of glass twisting in my gut. I start to feel better and try to get out of bed only to go dizzy with a head that feels twenty times as heavy as it is and a tingling all over - suddenly hot and disorientated.
What I feel slighly guilty about though is that I have finially got my hands on the Harry Potter book and resent having to stop reading for the next wave of cramps - boiling hungry eats at my insides but unfortunatly its no food at the mo as I just spew it all back up again - sigh.
poor Alaric is now attempting to work on his clever rig of internet and generator etc... with the thought that he is now on his own with trying to clear downstairs - I mean I know I couldnt do any of the heavy lifting anyway but at least I could do the small things like clearing off cabinates - now I can't even do that.
Plus he has now lost quiet a bit of work time.
Oh well I suppose I'll just have to continue ready - I swear the woman arranges for these books to come out when I'm sick!

Well as I had to be 'rescued' from Cheltenham on Friday I obviously do not yet have the book that I have been waiting for - for an age Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. This is really really frustrating me!
Ontop of that I have started to feel really ill - stomache variety - apparently our tap water is a)contaminated and b)about to run out and there are riots at Asda and things over the bottled water which sounds really scary.
We are going to try and get some food in as obviously all the food in the fridge and freezers is lost not becuase we don't have any electricity as we have a generator but becuase the appliences themselves got wet and are therefore not safe to plug in.
I am hoping that I can finially pick up a copy of Harry Potter whilst out!
Firstly, Sarah's fallen ill too. Throwing up lots. We took her to the doctors who said that hopefully it'd pass in a day or so, and to get in touch if it didn't, or if it got worse.
Secondly, the good news, the insurance people will happily replace all the damaged stuff from downstairs, and gave us £200 up front to cover short-term emergency living expenses!
