    Any local takeaway deliveries possible Beanielou? I don’t know whether it possible to order a ready meal from M & S or somewhere via one of these delivery companies. Eggs, an omelette or something easy? 
    I hope tomorrow will be better.

  • Really  hope your feeling better. Wish I was near I’d call in with a meal for you. Hope the medication for the uti starts working soon. Often they only issue enough for 3 days which isn’t enough. Xx

    hope you and your mum are both starting to feel better Beanie. 
    Do add some emergency ready meals or quick options to your next shopping list too, just something you can have in the freezer.  And maybe stick an extra loaf of bread and pint of milk in there too.  (I can't always get gf bread in the local shop, so I keep some spare, and it often saves me having to make a trip to the supermarket or waiting on a delivery.)

    Thanks everyone for your good thoughts. 
    I am very battered & bruised & still rather shoogly even 3 days on. 
    I am very very tired. 
    My mum claims that she is feeling better. I am not convinced. She does not sound it.
