It was a bit of a weird speech wasnt it?
I think I need to make a way of getting outside more. I cant do another 10+ weeks of staying inside with her and making it work. Antibiotics seem to be doing something. Better numbers this evening so far.

All I understand is construction industry and anyone that can’t work from home are going back to work. Aside from that everything is the same, don’t go out unless you have to. Glad the numbers are better. I remember life revolving around Mr SA’s numbers when he was on a ventilator.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Evening WB
Ive been missing in action for a while in the forums due to life ‘stuff’ but just caught up.
sorry to read youngest has been out of sorts & you're not getting any sleep 🙁
I have a slow cooker that I would be happy to send to you if you have space for it & think it would be useful. It’s quite a large one (5 or 6 litre capacity rings a bell) too big for me & my little girl & I was gifted a much smaller one more suited to little portions. Also thinking I may have a Hoover too but need to check that my late husband didn’t throw it away when he bought me a cordless one a couple of years ago ( romantic gift I know 🙈).I’ll try & have a look for the hoover tomorrow, but do let me know if you’d like a slow cooker.

Thank you
Have had the go ahead to put my ideas into place for outside space. That is what I'm going to be working on. I think I'll be as excited as the smalls to sit out there for some fresh air and space.
Hope you're all keeping well“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”7 -
A slow cooker would be really handy for you, that’s a very kind offer, hope you take it up.
I’m glad you’re going to be able to put your plans in place for outside, brilliant news xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6 -
I’m glad you have the go ahead to get yourself outside a bit. For all of your sakes but for for the older 2 especially. If you’re not getting sunlight on your skins - just a thought - do you take vitamin D. If not it might be worth looking into for you all.January spends - £587.585

No we dont Milann will have a look. Definitely looking forward to being able to go in the garden. I cant wait to sit out and feel comfortable/safe with it.
Youngest is much better. Antibiotics definitely doing the trick.“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”7 -

Hi WB
Glad you're all well and that DD's a/b's are working. Being able to get outside will feel like such a treat for you all. DS's school is gearing up to take Y10's back in June but that's the only year they will be taking so it looks like he's off until September. I suppose DS won't be able to return to his school for the last few weeks because of your family situation? I have a feeling not many parents will be sending children in anyway for the sake of a few weeks before summer hols. It's going to be interesting to see how this works that's for sure. Have a good day. xx

Thank you
No Tea none of mine will be in until September at the earliest. I've just come of a video call with the consultant and it seems theres some very unhappy people with the new guidance and rules. I couldn't believe how much he made me aware that he and many other people within the NHS disagree with such big changes in the measures. He made sure I understood we must not change what I am doing and that it isn't safe to relax any of the steps we have in place at all.
