Being Ill at Parties

Filed under: Diary Entries

Did quite a bit of work on thursday and ended up going home quite late.

Friday I went into work but felt crap so didn’t do much. After lunch I went back home, had a lemsip and fell asleep for a bit. I’d started being ill!

I was supposed to go out to Jen’s Birthday party at the trusty Scu, but I passed it up due to feeling naq’d and ill so stayed in and watched tv (including a new peep show episode) instead.

Saturday rolled around and I woke up at 730 barely able to move. I crawled downstairs and figured I might stick the cricket on as that might distract me a bit from how I was feeling at the time, I switched on at 730. By 845 we’d lost 8 wickets for 41 runs and lost the game. hmpf.

By this point I was pretty sure I was not up for going to cheltenham as I could still barely move. However I decided to go up and get a shower.

Upon arriving upstairs I immediately collapsed on me bed and fell asleep. I woke at 11 feeling a bit better and with only half an hour before mahinda arrived.

Unsurprisingly rosy hadn’t started getting ready yet (and without a good excuse like being ill) so much rushing occurred and we eventually left around 12.

The trip to sainsburies was fun, as Mahinda and Rosy both bought a load of alcohol and I bought a load of lemsip & Lucozade. hmmm.

we travelled down south in convoy with Lindens car. We had Mahinda’s car to ourselves cos we wanted to listen to the footie (Liverpool 3-0 Wigan) and we had walkie talkies with which we communicated with each other.

arrived at cheltenham to find our hosts were down the supermarket. It wasn’t long before M+P did turn up though and we had a look around their impressive flat (including the drum kit in the back room) before heading out into town. By now I was still feeling shite, but I’d had a few pills and the like and I decided to stick to non-alcoholic drinks all night.

We went to some pool place.

Then some pizza place.

then back to the party. There were quite a few regulars there and much fun was had. Highlights include the random dancing\singing - and the sofa of wrongness. I stayed up til 4 and then went to bed in the spare room - which I got by virtue of being ill, cheers Mike, Pam.

The next day we all went down the pub for lunch. I had a tuna sandwich which was nice, I was feeling a little better again, but very very tired. I was glad to get home around 530 and chill out for the rest of the weekend. It was good overall.

Monday I was feeling bad again so stayed at home and ended up sleeping for the whole day except 5 hours in the evening and 1 hour in the morning.

Tuesday I went in, but only to teach my minions.

Wednesday I stayed at home, much better now but with some sort of sore throat. tidied the house as non of the reprobates I live with seem capable of lifting a finger in that department :x I’ll be back in work tomorrow!

  1. I have your disease Pete :(

    Very feverish, unable to move and hellish sore throat - the neurofen is the only thing keeping me going!

    I went out for a curry with some of the swimming team on Tuesday, and I have a feeling I may spread the disease through the club now!

    Uh-oh.

  2. “Tuesday I went in, but only to teach my onions.”
