As of this moment…

…we are battling The Flu in our family. It struck our household last week and meant that Rick and I couldn’t even go out for the date that we’d planned on my birthday last Thursday. Thankfully, the worst is behind us in that we’re both on our feet again (literally) though I suspect it will be a whole week before all five of us are back to our normal selves. I’m not quite sure how we would’ve pulled through these last five days if it weren’t for our amazing parents. Rick’s parents even stayed over two nights in a row so that they could help look after the boys during the night. Do I have the best in-laws or what?

Anyway, a huge thank you to everyone for your lovely birthday wishes – it’s so lovely to have such awesome bloggy friends! I’m also overwhelmed by the huge response to The Happy Closet – who knows, maybe we can start a movement together?

Happy Belated B’day Ronnie! Sorry I missed it on the day. Glad to hear you are on the mend and that you have family round who can help. The Happy Closet has given me stuff to ponder too! Love to you and the boys xxx

Happy birthday Ronnie! I forgot to say that in my last comment!

Hope you and your family are all feeling much better soon. Unfortunately I’ve woken up this morning feeling a bit worse for wear. Hoping it’s not my turn!

Happy belated birthday wishes from Norway! We had days of battling an aggressive flu here too, and we are still not over it…. Hope you feel much better!

It’s just awful isn’t it? I hope you get a little better each day…. I think we have no choice but to take it slowly.

I hope you all feel better soon, and can get back to your normal life routine!
I hadn’t seen your closet post until now, but I think you’re on to something. I just got rid of bags and bags of clothes. Clothes that I probably won’t fit again (post baby) and even if I do, by the time that I do, they’ll be out of style. sigh.
I still have more purging to do, but it already feels much better.

I am ridiculously excited about the wardrobe post! Not sure why! (maybe it says something about the state of my wardrobe…)

Ugh, I can’t imagine all of you guys being sick and having to take care of one another. That’s rough! I am glad to hear that you guys are starting to feel better… and yes! Very sweet of your parents & in-laws to help take care of you guys. <3
