On arriving at home from work last night I got out of the car and felt a ‘twinge’ in my back. Ouch. Which detiorated to the point where getting out of the car when arriving at work this morning was a major and painful exercise. Pain killers and heated pads are allowing some movement now. But, a muscle pull in the back has to be the most inconvenient of all. Every movement reminds you that it hurts. It wouldn’t be so bad if I knew I had done it doing something worthwhile, but just getting out of the car….

On a brighter note Ellie slept through the night last night. Good girl. I couldn’t have got out of bed anyhow. Tricia has kept her off school today as she is still under the weather, but better than yesterday. Nikki is feeling a lot better, which is just as well as she is having her final exam of the current series tomorrow, a PE A level exam. That should be it until the summer then. Robbie is hoping that his sisters won’t be sharing their illness with him.

I have a tutorial tonight for the OU course I am presently doing, so looking forward to that. Not looking forward quite so much to the essay I will have to write this weekend though.
