I’m still wearing my mask and social distancing, our shops still ask for you to do this and we’re supposed to at work too. I never buy my lunch out or use public transport so I’m adding nothing to that part of the economy.I don’t think I could get a pass refund as I think it’s some sort of jiggery-poker they’ve done to by pass it for the new website. I’m getting a couple of months free as it would normally run out in 5.I’ve spoken to my manager and she agrees I shouldn’t go in tomorrow. The Covid situation is under constant review apparently and if cases rise further we will be back to WFH every day again.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

Covid cases are starting to rise in our office as well. Not really a surprise given that they are rising in the population in general I suppose. No mention of us going back to WFH though. They will stick it out with us all in the office for as long as possible here.3

I’ve received an apology email from Mr M about the delivery pass cancellation, it was a mistake. They’ve sent me an £8 off my order voucher which I’ve used against tomorrow’s shop 😃👍 The new app is so much better it’s gone back to how it was when Ocado fulfilled their deliveries. I’m happy with that outcome.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

I don't think they will lock us down this time. I think we will just have to get on with it and accept that Covid is around for a long time. They need us to get some natural immunity to it if we are ever going to get back to some sort of "normality"beanielou said:COVID certainly on the rise.

Whilever the NHS can cope we will just be left to get on with it and let the virus circulate.4 -
Morning all, happy Tuesday
The cat woke me up at 5am to give me a head massage. The dog got jealous and there was a bit of a pillow stand off with them both squaring up to each other. Decided it was time to get up. I would've been getting up at 5 anyway had I been going in to work today.
I still don't feel 100% still a bit achy. Had a walk out this morning to Mr T for a paper and a few other bits. Feel better for it to be honest, although it was pitch black it was nice to get some fresh air and it's so mild out for the end of October. Passed a pub all lit up with the most fantastic Halloween decorations, it really did look good, it even had a Halloween 'Christmas' tree.
Mr M delivery coming at lunchtime and I've had an email to say there are no missing items or subs -woo hoo 🎉 Hopefully this is because it's coming direct from the warehouse and will be the shape of things to come.
Mr SA has just got up confused and thought it was Saturday.

Just had to go and rescue Mr SA and the dog. His scooter broke down on one of the local hills. Two very kind (and strong) men were pushing him up the hill when I got there 🤦♀️I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)3

It just shows that you really need to be on hand for these occasions. More ammunition for a request to WFH at your own discretion. I made the huge mistake of giving up work in a similar situation. My finances never really recovered.Credit card One :£926.60( Oct 21 )(Nov 21 vet bill disaster), £999(Jan 22), £974(Feb 22)
Credit Card Fl :£739.26 (Oct 21)£763 (Nov 21) , £590(Jan 22), £298(Feb 22)

I’m just glad I wasn’t in the office today as planned. I have a Carers Passport in place that allows me to take time to sort him out. I’d never give up work, I’m too close to retirement now and we couldn’t manage without my income before then. Work are very good on the whole with various things.Scottiedog_3 said:It just shows that you really need to be on hand for these occasions.

This has taken a further £10 off the bill 🥳
Took the dog on the park at lunchtime but she was hassled to death by a puppy that just wouldn’t leave her alone so I had to bring her back home.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4
