What I hate about being ill

Being ill sucks

At the moment I am ill, yet again. Actually I haven't had a cold in the better part of 10 months so I am doing ok but finally I caught one. I actually blame my husband as he came home with it first and gave it to me. I should have left out the sickness bit in our vows. It is not that I don't want to support him when he is sick, I just don't want to catch it off of him in return.

Things I hate about being ill

1. Wanting to cut my own nose off

You ever hear of the expression 'cut your nose off to spite your face'? Well my face would welcome that whenever I get ill. At the moment I have the common cold and my nose feels like a dead weight on the front of my face. I just want to cut it off and have done with it.

2. The headaches

Every time a colleagues sneezes of coughs (we are all ill at the moment) it pierces my brain like an ice pick. The pain is terrible and I just want to be done with it.

3. The pain comes and goes in waves

One moment I feel like I am going to die a painful death and the next minute it feels like I am a lot better and could run a marathon. Then I go back to feeling shit again of course.

4. Wanting to sleep ALL THE TIME!

Right now I could go for a nap at my desk. Just 10 minutes would set me up for the rest of the afternoon. Better yet a full sized bed with lovely blankets and pillows so I can just sleep for a few hours. As I write I am looking forward to going home in a few hours so that I can go to sleep on the sofa in front of some crappy TV.

5. When you do sleep having weird dreams

So far this week I have had a weird dream about someone who I know at work who wouldn't stop stalking me (even though I have little to no interaction with this person on a daily basis) and a dream about a 20ft tall zombie like guy trying to kill me (which was all a bit Resident Evil in nature actually). Those are the ones I remember the most detail for but there are so many odd ones that I have had this week as a result of being ill. This happens to me every time I get sick.

6. Even medication makes things worse

There are certain types of pills I cannot take because they are full of things like caffeine and they set off anxiety attacks. My anxiety is already pretty high when I am ill anyway but this just makes it so much worse.

Basically I want this cold to go away now. I am fed up with it and I feel totally useless all the time.

First time buyer - timeline and advice

Having just bought our first house I can tell you it can be confusing if you don't know when certain things need to happen. How can you put an offer in if you don't have a mortgage? How do you know how much mortgage you need if you don't have an offer accepted? When do you pay and how does it all work? Here is how we did it and this worked really well. Save Get your deposit sorted. House prices change all the time but keep your eye on costs and build up your deposit. I had 10% saved up and used that alongside mortgage calculators (see links in below item) to work out what we could borrow and afford to pay each month. This works the other way too and they can help you work out how much you need for a deposit. There are schemes which require only a 5% deposit ( Help to Buy ) but it is advisable to save up before approaching this scheme too. Remember, you will have to afford mortgage payments and payments to the provider too. Also bear in mind additional costs such as

Why we need International Women's Day

There are so many reasons why we need International Women's Day. Here are just a few reasons why this day is so important. Pay gap: Between 1997 and 2015 the pay gap remained the same . As wages appeared to rise the gap stayed the same between men and women. Last year it was reported that the gap was so wide that from 9 November until the end of 2015 women were effectively working for free ! Exact details are hard to put here because there are so many different sources, but the facts in the articles linked above speak for themselves. Rape statistics: Around 85,000 women and 12,000 men are raped in England and Wales every year! That is shocking statistics. The sad fact is that many victims of rape will know their attacker and they are often not strangers. Victim blaming means that many people worry about the reaction of others should they come forward and many more rapes are not reported. Yes it would appear that more women than men are raped and that is very likely the case

My favourite...Japanese actors and actresses

I am going to use the naming convention that the Japanese do where the family name goes first and the given name goes second. I thought I would go into more detail about some of my favourite actors and actresses from Japan and some of my favourite films/TV shows that they have been in. These are my opinions and the information is as correct as I could find where I didn't know something myself. Copyright images/videos where they should be. Sato Takeru Born: 21 March 1989 (age 26 at time of writing) From: Iwatsuki-ku, Saitama Sato Takeru Sato was in senior high school in Tokyo when talent agency Amuse Inc scouted him. He made his acting debut in 2006 in the ‘drama’ (lose sense of the word) ‘Princess Princess D’. He really gained a following after appearing in the ‘Kamen Rider Den-O’ series on TV and in the films. In 2009 he appeared alongside his stable mate and real life best friend, Miura Haruma, in the drama ‘Bloody Monday’ which ended up running into a second s
