Sunday Lovin’ – Poorly Pick Me Ups

Hello everyone!

If you follow me on Twitter you may have noticed that I haven’t been feeling too well over the past few days and have had little more energy to just lay in bed… I was very unwell on Friday night and did not get to sleep until Saturday morning when the sun was rising – not nice!

With that in mind, I thought I would share with you some of the things I am loving this Sunday to pick me up from being poorly – or at least things I can dream about having or doing whilst still in my sick bed 🙁

Here are the things that have been getting me through my rough few days:
