Although my throat hurts like billio (an underused expression if ever there was one) whenever I swallow, my tonsils have not swelled up or anything and indeed the doctor confirmed that I don't have tonsilitis. However I'm having a blood test for glandular fever in an attept to explain the general knackeredness I have been experiencing all week. I'm feeling fairly frustrated at the moment because I seem to have no energy at all but I'm bored of just sitting around at home waiting to feel better.

Still at least it is a convenient time to be unwell - my job doesn't start for another two weeks and I don't really have any plans.

Also, on a more positive note I am getting a car tomorrow! It is a 2002 Seat Ibiza in metallic blue and it desperately wants to be used to visit people so as soon as I'm feeling up to it put the kettle on I'll be over in (insert number of hours it will take Andy to trundle over to your ghetto... or if you're from Wimbledon palace).
