That brings a whole new meaning to the term ambulance chaser, Beanie! 🤣 One assumes you did at least have a skirt or trousers on, even if the knickers were missing?! 😮

Oh dear, I confess I am giggling at you being hirsute and knickerless for a while 😂😂😂 sorry! And you should definitely swap sides with Mr F - how come you only have a massage function on one side?! Not fair at all! Glad you had a rest though xx

Hi @Cheery_Daff.  The bed pre-dates me.  Mr F bought it when he was single and only needed the one massage function.  I steal it sometimes but I'm not sure it helped yesterday.

Sounds like my lockdown 1 🤣!

Did I mention I am extremely visual!!!

Hope things improve for you soon. 

You sound very productive still for all that. I confess to using 3 mats when I do yoga - as otherwise my knees hurt!!

Oh dear @savingholmes 😲 What a picture 😆

Sorry to hear your back is still playing you up Fortune - had a similar experience with one of my calf muscles this morning while attempting to do a kickboxing workout so do sympathise.  Will be trying that sausage gnocchi dish you posted - trying to get DH to eat more greens and think he'd be ok if it was in amongst sausages and gnocchi!

 Do take care @ruby_eskimo - you don't want to do yourself any damage.

Blimey, knickerless - we call that “Going commando”. The term refers to elite soldiers trained to be ready to fight at a moment's notice. So when you're not wearing any underwear, you're, well, ready to go at any moment — without pesky undies in the way.

😲🤭😂 @Suffolk_lass

I once famously(!!) went chasing after an ambulance with a close family member inside inside.
Was in such a hurry it was not til I got to the hospital I realised I had forgotton my knickers!!

You're a dark horse @beanielou 😂

You lot 😂😂😂

I tried a different strategy yesterday and it seemed to work.  An hour or so up and about, then an hour or so resting.  So I did manage to get a few things done:

• three loads of washing done, hung/dried
• leftover Leek, Cheese & Bacon Tart with salad for lunch
• Mixed Fruit & Nut Granola made.  We were donated two grapefruit at Christmas and I thought they would go well with granola and yoghurt
• Brandy Butter Cookies made to use up some Christmas brandy butter.  These are dangerously delicious!  Even Mr F liked them and he's not a brandy butter fan
• general tidying of the kitchen
• leftover Sausage, Kale & Gnocchi One-Pot for supper.

Today, I'm hoping to put some more washing on and to push the vacuum round.  The groceries are being delivered today so I must remember to save some time/energy for that too.

During my resting periods I've been watching the original 'Up' series on ITV Player.  This is the one where they filmed a group of 7 years olds from 1964 at 7 year intervals.  Really interesting and makes one think.  I'm trying to watch educational or informative TV at the moment so I don't feel like I'm entirely wasting the time.

You'll be pleased to hear that I've found I can get my pants and socks on by lying on the bed.  Mr F is still helping me get them off though 😲🤭😂

Right, a quick clean up of the kitchen then it's back to bed for me.
