    Feeling yuck, and got the Permies Christmas lunch to get though….

    Went to bed at 5:30pm until 5am as had a dodgy curry on Saturday night. Also felt a little coldy-flu’ey over the weekend.

    Felt fairly ropey yesterday morning, went to Body attack – seemed to sort me out for an hour or so, then I wiped out quite literally, crawled to bed from 1-3, before going to mum’s for tea I could not eat and driving back 10 minutes later.

    Still managed to limp into work – why I did not take it as a permie paid sick day I have no idea.

    Think I may have been overdoing things at the gym – scales were half a stone lighter than normal this morning, I think I am proper dehydrated, so drinking loads of water.

    Why indeed. Still, gives you the chance to annoy the neighbours during daylight hours for a change. Knock yourself out.

      Its not a good idea to go to a works do on your own. You might get preyed on by some predatory female

        You felt ill, but did exercise anyway. What do you want, sympathy?

        Boo hoo.

        Go home and recover, don't pass your germs on to the other poor buggers in your office.

          Excercise normally makes me feel better when poorly - never faced fatigue like that in my life befor though - quite scary!

          Seriously thinking about going tonight, but know I really just need a chilled out evening in the sauna and spa instead.

            I was always told it was dangerous to exercise hard when ill. Maybe that's bunk though, anyone know?

              Leave Bunk out of it!

              Dunno about dangerous, but it sounds stupid.

                It's your colleagues I feel sorry for. They went to all the trouble of poisoning you and you're still turning up to their Christmas party.

                Hope that doesn't sound unsympathetic.

                    It's dangerous for me to exercise anytime
