Might have to look into getting a dehumidifier for our ensuite. The extractor fan is struggling a bit to extract all of the moisture in there now it is getting colder.4

SA - What one did you get? We need one for the bathroom SO badly. I have been look but am just stuck....found one for 44 but then search a bit more and found the same one for 21 so don't even know what is a good make or anything.Nevertheless she persisted.4

I've got a Meaco dehumidifier and it's really good. My house gets really damp and mouldy so I thought it was a good investment especially when drying washing indoors. It also helps you heating to work more efficiently because it takes longer to heat damp airOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1206

Well looks like Covid finally got me 😩 Very faint line but a line nonetheless. Only I could get it a day after the booster. My cough is getting worse and I feel worse in myself this morning.Meaco are one of the best brands of dehumidifier but unfortunately sold out everywhere. My second choice was eBac but they are expensive and also had delivery issues. To get a decent one @Buffythedebtslayer you need to pay more than £44. The one I settled on is £259.99 but I got a discount so paid £214.99. It’s coming today so hopefully in a few days I’ll be able to report back whether it lives up to the reviews.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Awww, I did wonder if Covid might finally have got you, @Sun_Addict. The symptoms are so similar to a cold in these newer variants. I know that if Mr F hadn't already tested positive the morning I developed symptoms, I'd have assumed it was a cold for at least the first couple of days.
Get some rest, plenty of fluids & let's hope it is soon on its way.

I've managed to get a small Mr M delivery for tonight, even though I had a delivery yesterday, I'd left off cat food as they seem to prefer the Lidl own brand so they'll have to put up with the branded one they used to eat. I've also ordered a few other things I would've been picking up from Aldi tomorrow. Mr SA will be happy as I've added another couple of crates of beer while it's on offer - 2 for £20 then the family discount brings it down to £8.50 a crate. He has been warned it's not an excuse to drink more beer!
I don't like being confined to barracks! Mind you I feel too rough to be leaving the house. I've worked out I'll have to stay in until Tuesday. I'd already booked Tuesday off work so should be back in the office on Wednesday. In the meantime I'm WFH although I'm not exactly firing on all cylinders.
Ugh!I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
Poor you as I know you like to get lots of steps in every day. Hope Mr SA takes heed of your warning remembering the usual outcomes if he drinks too much 🤢
