    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!
    2026's challenges: 1) To rebuild our Emergency Fund to at least £5k.
    2) To read 50 books (12/50) 3) The Re-Shrinking of Foxgloves 8.1kg/30kg
    Remember....if you have to put it on a credit card, extend your overdraft or take out a loan to buy whatever it is, you probably can't afford it, as that's not your money, it's somebody else's!

    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
