Shhh. [Laughs]

So it's very early morning [Random noise]

and I'm downstairs making Claudia's breakfast

before she goes off to work

Feeling a lot better today

It's really good. So hopefully I'm going to get some work done

Some of you did mention yesterday - because I asked -

would you like to see what I eat in an ill day

So that's what mainly today's video is going to be about.

Fun things...

I'm currently making some kind of a rice-y, bean-y salad

for Claudia's lunch...

Beans

Rice

Salad

Tuna

I got that from Clara

because she generally eats rice at my house

and then she calls it a salad

I'm not really sure what my stomach's feeling like this morning, actually [groans]

but, right, I shall continue making her food

and then I will decide

Yes.

[Festive music]

I just rubbed chili in my eye

[Groans] Of course I did. Of course I did.

Excellent.

So, I'm still feeling a bit like I might... be sick...

and one of the things that's really important for me

when I feel sick is that I don't start being too sick, because then I can really spiral down very quickly

which I think I talked about, actually, in my London vlog

So, it's very important to eat something

and that's kind of what I'm going to be doing this video: just sharing things that I eat

and some tips

on what to eat on your sick days

But also, I think the main thing that you can take away from this video

which I'm telling you at the start, but maybe I should tell you at the end,

(I'm not sure)

er, is that... it's just: don't worry about it.

Don't worry about it.

Forget your five a day

Forget your... getting the right calories form the right places

and getting the right proteins, oo

It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter.

On a sick day, the most important thing is just that you feed your body

It does not matter what you feed your body with

For me, most of the food that I will eat today is probably based around... fruit

I tend to eat a lot of fruit when I feel sick

and a lot of soya yoghurt

But it's all about intuitive eating

Oh, that sounds so corny

I hate it

But you know that I mean; that's the kind of thing we're going for here

Just, if your body says it's ready to eat, eat

Sometimes I just stand there staring into my fridge

Resting my eyes

on every single thing in my fridge: Could I eat this?

And then I take things out and put them on the side

so I have a list - a list? A row of three things

I'm like, "Hm, body, make a decision"

and then I, then I, yeah...

I think I'm going to start the day with frozen berries and soya yoghurt

and this is just a really nice way, I think,

to get your body, get your body going

It's not too aggressive

on your tummy

Normally I go for the raspberries - frozen raspberries. But they can be a bit acidic

so I'm going to go for a mixture of frozen strawberries and bananas

Weirdly, I tend to eat a lot of vegan food...

when I feel sick

Oh! Chili in the eye...

So, it is that special time between ten and eleven

I don't actually know what time it is, but it's between ten and eleven, and I know this because my nausea has hit

Mm...

Oh, and it's hit hard!

[Deep sigh]

But I also feel that odd feeling where you feel really sick, but you also feel quite hungry

and empty, and you need to fill your belly

So, I have these [Tilly barking in background]

Genuinely the be - oh...

So, these are frozen grapes

They have to be seedless, and they have to be black

and it really works

Just put them in your mouth

Kind of chop in half. Suck.

It's like in hospital when they give you ice cubes to suck on

It really works

And it fools your stomach into allowing you to eat

and because they're frozen, you have to eat them quite slowly, which is good

because then your hunger doesn't win out over the nausea

You're like, "Ah, override the nausea; just shove everything down!" which is a really bad idea

but also, your whole... you know, general nausea, doesn't win out over the hunger

so then you're so sick that you don't eat anything.

It's beautiful. It's a beautiful, symbiotic relationship

[Laughs]

I'm going to put my make-up on, because I actually have to film today

Other than this

Clearly, it's Vlogmas and I'm filming every day

Well done, Jessica

No, I actually have to film... What?

For enhance the UK

which is a disability charity that I film various videos for

and you can actually find them in this playlist

And I'll also link them down in the description.

And basically I just sort of give various fashion tips

with a disability slant

And I'm also going to try and film this really fancy up-do

which is going to be my Christmas hair

Keep hydrated. Always keep hydrated!

So I have my squash and my Diet Coke. I don't know, do you put drinks in a 'What I eat in a day' video?

You do now!

And I genuinely don't care what anyone says about Diet Coke, OK?

It beats nausea

I've tried every pill going

They don't work.

The only things that actually work for nausea - for me, anyway -

um, are Diet Coke and intravenous antiemetics

Yeah.

If you get to the point where all you can do is vomit,

then the ambulance have to come

with the intravenous stuff, and boy is that good

Only bad side, of course, is that once they put a needle in you, they then have to take you to A&E

[Sad noises]

I hate A&E, it is my Hell.

It is my Hell.

[Festive music resumes]

Hey. So, I'm done.

But I just wanted to show you my nightie...

which you may or may not be able to see here

and, er, yes, it is vintage

and for those of you more eagle-eyed viewers, you may realise that I do sometimes wear this as a top.

On my Instagram...

Yeah.

So, there we go! I've finished my first filming of the day.

Brilliant.

For enhance the UK

with my disabled fashion tip of the month, ooo...

Not going to tell you what it is; you have to go watch it, okay?

It will be up very soon

And now I should eat something

I feel kind of... weak

Hungry.

Mildly nauseous...

but not the kind of disgusting nausea like yesterday

where I thought I would be vomiting through my eyeballs, so that's good

Why always the eyeballs? I don't know. It just hurts behind them.

So, we're going to have some delightful sweet potato fries

Basically, if you're on a sick day and all you feel like eating is chips

- "fries"

if you're American -

Do it.

Who cares?

The important thing is that you get food in your body

and that can be junk food

So, here we are. I'm just having a little sit on the sofa

It's fine.

And I've got my sweet potato fries

and some lacto-free cream cheese

with a little bit of sweetener

Generally, when ill, I do kind of just eat the same, staple items, and I think that's a good idea

Just find whatever works for you and keep going with it

Now I'm going to watch 'Escape to the Country'

while I eat them

Because... that's my crack

'Escape to the Country'

I'm secretly fifty

So I just filmed this hair tutorial here

It's very nice. This is going to be my emergency video

in case something goes wrong

and I can't film one day

or edit or something, and I'm just in bed like, "I can't cope with life"

Anyway, it's very nice, as you can see

Very 40s

Now that bow is from Lindy Bop and it's a shoe bow

that goes on your shoes, because

why not? All accessories should double up as something else, don't you think?

I do

Well I am slightly peckish now, since the banana did not stay down

I think I'm going to have some...

some more grapes...

Mmm.

So exciting...

No, I do eat exciting things -

on other days...

Just not today.

I used to worry a lot about what I was eating

and... Protein, I used to really panic about protein; making sure I got enough protein in a day.

And then I found that protein powder mixed with sweetener is a really great anti-nausea remedy

and it really works.

And so on days when I feel really sick, I eat that as well

because that just ma... Walter's doing something, over there...

with a toilet tube, so...

I don't know if you can hear...

what he is doing, but he is doing that. Anyway.

Um, so I used to panic

but now I just let myself eat whatever I feel like eating

and I also eat powdered protein powder

And then Claudia's going to come home really, really soon

- about an hour -

and I'm going to introduce you to my dinner when I feel ill

Argh, what is this?

That bit of hair

it's out of place!

It's not right.

It's really annoying me.

[Frustrated, sad noises]

I'm so obviously very tired, I get easily annoyed

I just tidied our bedroom

It felt like quite a feat.

But it's done.

It's good.

It's impressive.

Now I have to tidy...

...the Kitchen of Doom!

I've got to think about making some kind of dinner for Claudia

There's not much in our fridge right now

She could have mini pizzas! We have nine of these in our fridge

Different types of mini pizza

Thanks to Clara and Evelina

who ruddy love their pizza...

Oh, I see dog movement!

Hello!

The wife is home!

Hi, wife.

C: Hiii.

J: Hello.

J: Kisses.

J: Hello.

C: Hello to my doggies. J: I was just discussing dinner

J: and what we're going to eat

C: What are we eating?

J: Good question!

C: This is my routine. I come home and g... Eurgh!

C: Get sloppy kisses.

J: I'll give you sloppy kisses, too!

J: Once the dog has finished, though.

J: And then Walter gets love.

J: He weighs twice as much as Tilly,

J: so he's a bit harder to give love to C: He has to be picked up a bit differently

J: Ohh, chunky monkey!

J: You're so cute, though [baby noises]

C: Those are noises of affection
