That's a relief for you that they seem to be getting on much better now. Long may it continue. 
It is funny that one of them has claimed the upstairs though! 
It's nice to hear that you are feeling a bit better and the ideas for your room sound lovely. It will look nice when it is completed. I bet the mould doesn't help your chest much either. x

Hi Nicnak,after I read my diary a couple of weeks ago and noticed how many chest problems and sore throats I have had over the last couple of years I immediately  thought of the mould in my room, it's not a lot but I know it's bad  for you so that's why I've decided to sort it out as soon as possible, the room used to get damp but it's ok now and I also make sure I have good ventilation by having the windows open as much as I can. It's only in the corner on the ceiling and I'm wondering if it because my loft insulation is rubbish so that needs to be looked at as well, I normally clean  it off with bleach but would lie a more permanent solution really 
I'm so relieved that things seem to be calming down as far as the cats are concerned. I was beginning to worry they would never get on but given time they are doing ok 😊

Sorry you are still feeling rough. My smallest has a cold atm too. Streaming nose so definitely just a cold. But he felt rotten for a couple of days.

Oh no I hope your smallest gets better soon, if they've got the same thing as me then they have my complete sympathy, I felt rubbish yesterday and my nose was out of control, I was joking with DD 2 that we still hadn't used the emergency box of tissues we bought at the beginning of lockdown ( we normally just use loo roll but it was hard to find back then😀) well I used the whole box yesterday 😳 today it's not so bad but I now have sinus pain across my face 😢😢😢Im hoping I will get better by the end of the week,I'm going back to work on Saturday whatever happens,I need to get back to normal now,I think I caught this of my DGS on Thursday because I was cuddling him and he had a stinking cold 😟

Had a frustrating evening last night. We had an online Mr T delivery booked for between 5 and 9pm but by 9.40 it still hadn't turned up. We phoned the hotline and they told us he was delayed so he eventually arrived at 10.30 🙀🙀I just wanted to go to bed by that point 😟 there were a couple of bits missing so I had to go and get them today.
I went to my local shopping centre because I had completely run out of chicken feed and the pet shop there sells it, I also needed shower gel and ibuprofen so went to Boots to get that and while I was there I nipped into Next which is next door to see if they had any decent slippers, my old slippers were falling apart and kept falling off my feet ,this morning I tripped and nearly fell down the stairs so thought I had better get some new ones ,they were on my list for Father Christmas but safety comes first so I bought them myself 😊
I have only coughed a couple of times today and although I'm still quite breathless my chest feels less rattley so hopefully I am actually on the mend, the cold has morphed into a sinus thing but will hopefully be gone soon

The last couple of weeks have certainly taught me that I really need to start looking after myself, I must be very run down at the moment  to have been this ill. I'm just thankful it wasn't Covid19 because I'm not sure I would actually survive if I caught that judging by how ill a simple chest infection has made me 
I've bought lots of veg in my shopping and am going to make sure I take my vitamins religiously 😊
I can't wait to get back to normal and be able to start doing things again 😊

Sorry I've been awol from your diary for a while OBL. I'm glad the cats are starting to get on now.

Sorry you've been so ill but good that you seem to be on the mend at last. Taking vitamins must help I'm sure.
I haven't had a cold since lockdown and I used to get one a month before. I think it's party because we've had less children at school and I've been keeping my distance from them. I just hope I dont' start to catch colds again now we have thirty children in a class again.

Hi Hairy,it's nice to see you back 😀 it's certainly a risk working with children they do like to share their bugs 🤢
I tried to keep my distance from DGs when DD brought him round but it's impossible when they are so young, she shouldn't have brought him because she knew I was already ill, this is why I didn't want to babysit anymore because she brings them even if they are ill 😟

I think tackling the mould is a good idea. I know it can cause a lot of problems with chests. 
Nice to hear you seem to be on the mend. It's good that you can get out a little. X

They are lovely and warm,maybe a bit too warm for today which has been lovely but come the winter they will be great and more importantly I won't fall down the stairs 😊

Its been a lovely warm sunny day here today and it lasted into the evening. I decided to take B on a very slow walk up around the fields this evening to see how we would both get on. It was a lovely relaxing walk and I was ok but wheezy when I got back so my chest is still not quite right. B seems back to her normal self now and I find it hard to think she might have anything serious wrong with her, she is enjoying her new food and is back to eating normally again, she looked very shiny today for some reason 😀
I bought leeks when I went to the shop today so tomorrow I can make leek croustade, I've been fancying it for ages but didn't have the right ingredients, I'm all set now though 😊 I made cauliflower cheese yesterday because we had a cauliflower that needed using, I haven't had that for a long time either and it was yummy. I might also make some gingerbread biscuits tomorrow as I'm fancying them too 😊 I'm looking after the smallest DGS on Thursday so I'm sure he will appreciate a gingerbread man while he is here. It will be the first day he has been here all day on his own 🙀so I need bribes 😀he was ok when he came round last Thursday so hopefully he will be ok without his mum this week
Im not doing anything tomorrow apart from some washing if the weather is good again, I'm part way through a book so will read that and I still have knitting on the go,it's slow progress on the knitting because I've noticed now that if I knit for too long my wrist hurts so I just do  short bursts 😊
