Just caught up SL and glad you’re feeling better. I had my jab as a result of being a volunteer at the vaccination centre and it floored me too, although only for 36 hours. Not nice though!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

@themadvix, @greent @debtfreeoneday - Thank you and for the reassurance - I'm the same really. Felt dire for two days, nearly normal by day three. I also can't wait for the second! It was the heaviness sensation that was not listed, hence the mhra website to record symptoms. It has prompted a purchase - a new duvet cover is on its way. I only seem to have one for the king size duvet and I had to sit round, feeling dreadful, waiting for it to dry! So a new easycare cotton one is coming.
Insurance will resolve itself this week but I need to dig out the chimney sweep's report and we need to get both the thatch and the electrics tested so I know when they were last done, and can prove it. The new broker is getting our business this year. The old company has not contacted me back since the week before last so they can wait to hear they have lost the business as they obviously don't need it any more.

Oh dear sorry to hear that. Maybe you have a very strong immune system? I had a sore arm and just felt very tired the day after having mine but DH had chills and tiredness.
