I woke up at 6:00 today, and felt the worts stomach ache ever!

I knew i was going to be sick, you know that feeling you have inside you stomach that makes you feel as if your going to be sick all day? ye, i had one of those :(

Anyway, its 10 past 6 now and im sitting wrapped up in a quilt typing this. Yes, thats how bored i really am!.

I think a couple of painkillers should do the trick, but the fact that the image outside is as bad a the image down the toilet pan, is not making me feel the slightest bit better.

Oh, well, im off now. I'll think ill have a couple of games of snooker now, then ill settle down for the night.

Later.

Nick.
