Proper Poorly and a Bit Doomed February 25, 2007
Posted by Jen in : Journal , trackbackWoe is me. Not only am I Proper Poorly, I do not even have the joy of a rosy beetroot-like glow. I am, quite frankly, the colour of porridge. The texture of porridge too, quite possibly, if you’d care to give me a prod. A prod. Not a poke though. A poke when I’m Proper Poorly would be a bit rude. Anyway. Am feeling most woeful. Grumpsome, some might say.
But the worst thing? Oh, go on, ask me about the worst thing. Ok, since you ask, the worst thing is that I cannot eat. Nor Drink. And, as regular readers will know, lack of the old falling-over water makes me all itchy.
I’m Proper Poorly and itchy all over. I am cursed. I have ants not only in my pants but in my other parts too. I am itchy everywhere. The sitting room, the bedroom, the kitchen… everywhere I tell you.
When I die of this poorliness, I do not wish to be reincarnated as an ant. Unless I am Ant. Friend of Dec. But I prefer Ant. So that would be rubbish.
See?
Doomed.
*Sigh*

Oh Jen I hope you get well soon - it is horribly to be terminally poorly. I am suffering from dontgiveamonkeysitis and have not yet written, let alone submitted that damned essay. Why am I doing this again?
Get well and I hope you really aren’t doomed ’cause that would make me awful sad.

Oh dear, poor Kate… you’ve worked so hard doing these courses back to back. I would write your essay for you but then YOU would be doomed!
How about we share Ant & Dec? Would that help, d’you think?

So sorry to hear you’re feeling rubbish. Aren’t children terrible to bring all these evil ills home? And they trot back to school happily and who looks after you?
I’m just in awe that you even know which is Ant and which is Dec? I bow to your powers of observation.
While I’m here, can’t I tempt you with a cup of tea?

Ooh, JJ, a cuppa would be heavenly.
Could you make a pot, just in case Ant or Dec pop round? I shall be lying here in my tea-soaked delirium, willing them to appear with their smiley Geordie ways.
I like nice voices. If Ant and/or Dec are unavailable, I will be equally happy with either Tom Baker or Basil Brush.
I know. Fussy.

Hi Jen,
I hope you’re feeling better today. If it’s any consolation, I’ve had a horrid snuffly bug for about 3 weeks now!
Cup of tea, jot down how you feel, and then you can use it if one of your characters gets ill
oh my oh my - please keep ant and dec together for a get well poke of sorts … when it is less rude and you are not quite so grumpy.
Even on your itch bed, you are still very funny and lovely.
Hope you’re better soon.

Hi Lisa
Ugh, three weeks is a long time to be snuffled. I do not recommend that at all! have you tried partaking of the renowned and all-curing Vodka&Lemsip? My poor characters have forgotten who I am and vice versa… writing? What’s that then?? 
Caroline. Dear, dear Caroline. Why does the NHS not prescribe Ant and/or Dec for remedial pokes when one is down in t’dumps? But then we wouldn’t have time to get better and watch daytime TV as we’d be too busy pruning our legs and ladyparts.
Ugh.

Hey Jen. Sorry to hear you’re feeling woeful. But you know, with this Ant & Dec thing, you’ve managed to get your own back for me grossing you out last week with the sinus post. Ugh. I know they say that tastes differ but…
Get well soon, honey.

Hi Jen, still poorly, then? Bugger, it means My cold will be about a bit longer then.
Do take care of yourself - is it delerium that makes you fancy Ant and Dec? yeuk. I think I might like them to come and entertain me, but they are about the same age as my son! Now if it was John Travolta in Pulp Fiction, I wouldn’t mind my temperature soaring. Yum. Taste? Yep. kaz :o)
L-Q-S!!! You’re comparing my cheeky Geordie boys with phlegm?? PHLEGM??? I’m sorry. Words fail me. They really do.
T&C - I don’t think I actually DO fancy Ant and/or Dec. But, y’know, they’re quite smiley and chirpy. And there’s a lot to be said for that, don’t you think? John Travolta? Nah. If he pops round for a cuppa, I’ll send him in your direction.

yea, I agree ’bout ant and dec, Jen. So, if JT don’t do it for you, who does? Bearing in mind that you have a temperature at the mo!
Ooh yes and I prefer Dec so we can do so without falling out! Wayay man!
They should never be split. Keep them together at all times. It will be more fun
Hope you’re getting better.

T&C - I’m not that fussy. Andrew Lincoln would do. Though I do have a thing for Tom Baker. Tall. Tall is good. And a nice voice. How about Brian Blessed? And they have to make perfect tea. And put the bins out without being asked. Lovely bf, in his defence, does make good tea. The Brian Blessed voice could do with a bit of work though.
Harry Connick Jnr? Teeth. Yes, tea, teeth and tallness. Bring ‘em on!
