    I hope you get a lift too. Walking home must be a nightmare after a long shift at work.

    Your planned day tomorrow sounds great. x

    Ooh yes, you don't want to have to walk home in the dark. I think all companies should provide taxis for female staff if there are no buses. Or at least arrange someone to give them a lift.
    Hope your cold's feeling better. I have seen Dr this morning and he has prescribed antibiotics and says it is a bad chest infection. Ever since I had pneumonia a few years ago, I find my chest is my weak point. Going to rest and hopefully get better soon.

    Hi everyone and Happy New Year
    I got a lift to work yesterday so had to get the bus home but luckily my boss let me leave 45 minutes early so I managed to get the last two buses home,we had a chilled out evening at home playing games before I fell into bed absolutely shattered

    I didn't wake up until 10.30 this morning so had a nice lie in,we've had a lovely roast and just generally lounged around today,Marie Kondo has a new show on Netflix so we watched that this afternoon to get some declutter I g inspiration,and I'm now feeling motivated to make a start
    We are just off out with the dog and are taking the bottles to the bottle bank on our way round:A

    Glad you have rallied, OBL, & managed to get home safely. I had a lie in too today. Almost unheard of for me, & only till 8.45, but I was tired & mr f said he'd bring me scrambled eggs, toast & coffee. I wasn't going to turn that down!

    Sounds like a good way to spend the day, and am impressed at the bottle bank detour :rotfl:

    Hi Nicnak,I was diagnosed in 2003 but have had symptoms since 2000, I've sort of learned to live with it but sometimes it does take over a bit :(

    yeah, me too. I have flare ups, which are often related to poor diet. x
