Folksy Friday and I'm not well

I knew this would happen, the second I opened my gob on twitter this morning and said I quite fancied a wee day to myself, but thought I was too old to be pulling a sickie. Yup, I started yet another game of "tag you're it" with Murphy!

I made a go of the day, we had breakfast and I took Chloe to school, but by 10.00am I could feel the familiar tickle in the back of my throat. Now I have a pounding headache, a neck like a wrestler and my ears feel as though they are filled with cotton wool.

I make that a 1 all draw between me and that Murphy bloke!

Like any perfectly normal and sane person, when I get a dose of the sniffles I quite like to feel sorry for myself and curl up in a ball somewhere comfy.

Comfy means cushions and not the sad little pancaked cushions I'm currently in the process of replacing, but cushions like these;

Snippets Cushion - A Lucky Child

Lambswool Robot Cushion - Sara Carr

Linen Bolster Cushion - Pretty Goods

Not to mention the slippers, and sick or not I'll be having a pair of these at some point. The question is, in my currently weakened state, will you beat me to this pair?

Kimono Style Women's Slippers - Seamingly Possible

And of course I'll need a big pot of tea, preferrably filled whilst I'm not looking so that my flu med addled brain starts to convince itself that I have a magic teapot and magic teapots that never run out need to be kept warm and toasty;

"I Love Tea" Tea Cosy - Ticketty Boo

So what do you do when you're feeling under the weather?
