  • Well that's enough 'excitement' & activity to cover the fast percentage of the year so I wish you a dull and easy going rest of 2023
    Well done to DH for being persistent with the nurse but a shame that the eye is being stubborn in its healing
    - Mortgage: 1st one down, 2nd also busted
    - Student Loan gone

    I do love your soup reports.  Hope you are both feeling so  much better soon.
    Made it to mortgage free but what a muddle that became

    In the event the proverbial hits the fan then co-habitees are better stashing their cash than being mortgage free !!

    Ho hum. Still testing positive here. Day 14 and heartily p'd off. SO bored with not being able to get on with things. I have had a temper tantrum this morning. Proper swearing and throwing things in frustration. DH has taken the dog out to avoid me and stop me upsetting the dog and him with my ranting. So now I have a sore throat and guilt too.

    @Suffolk_lass - I don't blame you at all for shouting, swearing & throwing things, as that's exactly what I'd be doing if I'd just tested positive after 14 days! That is just a ridiculous length of time. I do hope you get a negative test very soon.

    Poor you :( it really hangs on sometimes, and it's one of the unknown quantities about it all, I'm sorry you've come down on the wrong side of it.  Thinking of you.

    Sometimes it is better just to get it out.
