Letting people down...

[Bluestone]

I have a friend coming round tonight. Someone I have recently met, not a lifelong friend.
However, I have started to feel a bit 'dodgy' over the past hour or so. My temperature seems to be quite high, well my face is burning up anyway, and my head is thumping.
I've just taken some Ibuprofen so they will probably kick in soon.

It's 4pm now and they're arriving at 7. I've recently had a text to say they are "really looking forward to tonight", so I feel a bit stuck. I know they've changed their plans around especially - which makes it worse.

If you felt like you were coming down with something, would you cancel with 3 hours notice or just get a grip, grin and bear it?

Try not to bother with people. You know it makes sense !

"Try not to bother with people. You know it makes sense !"
YES it does, and not only when you feel poorly. That is a mantra for life!

HW, by the time they'd got back, I wasn't in the mood at all. I felt really bad, but decided to call it a night. I'm now tucked up in bed - with a Horlicks. Yum! :-)

Adrian, Plautus, good advice! lol :))

[Bluestone]

Nah, he's gone. I drank half a glass of the wine he'd walked miles in the rain for, took a deep breath, then stood up and said "I'm afraid I'm going to have to call it a night". He didn't seem very happy. Ah well.

I do love my Horlicks. It tastes very malty... ?? If the mug is too big, it gets a bit sickly. I've never had Ovaltine so can't compare. I'll have to give it a try! :-)

And I will find Ovaltine on my next shop. We can compare notes! Lol

Not sure about that... but I'm more than happy with my bed. and my mug of maltiness :-))

Nice one, Plautus! :-)

Right, HW. I will be back on Thursday for a review. Nighty night :))
