The third week of October has been a week I've lost pretty much to the common cold. My husband kindly gave me it at the end of last week and I've spent all of this week fighting it.
I was off sick from work for most of the week and spent a lot of the time in bed, catching up on bubblews and reading The White Queen by Phillipa Gregory. I was even too ill to go out with my dad on the Friday, instead he came to mine for a cup of tea.
One thing did catch my eye at on the news last week, apparently it's a waste of time buying cold and flu remedies we should just use honey and lemon. Apart from the fact I doubt it's much cheaper, as have they seen the price of decent honey? I had just stocked up on an own brand hot lemon drink and some Jakemans cold lozenges. I would have bought more but nearly every cold remedy there is includes paracetamol, so clearly these are not something you can easily mix and match. I'm pretty much better now, and in all fairness I suspect it was the extra sleep which helped.
On the topic of our problems with the Asda van hitting our car, after several more phone calls on Saturday we finally got a letter from their claims handlers asking us to provide a statement of what happened, a diagram, photos and to get two written independent quotes. We sent a letter back pointing out my husband is self employed and we don't have time to run around after a company who has performed an illegal act, although we did include photos, the diagram, a description of their drivers antics and a copy of the cctv. We also suggested that they send a claims assessor like any other insurance company, or they can of course just send the vehicle somewhere to be fixed.
I think that's about all for last week, I hope you all had a better one :)
