  • I'm so sorry to hear about your Mum ☹ and I hope the operation goes well. That's infuriating about her having to be isolated after shielding for so long 😑. I hope she will get better soon and be able to go home soon.

    I'm sorry too about B needing her operation and I hope that she'll be all right now. It's a very expensive vet bill but thank goodness you have your EF.

    Sorry you've been ill too and I hope things go better for you from now on.

    Pleased to hear your mum is on the mend. It’s very strange having a birthday and not being able to see family. You’ll have to make it up to her as soon as she can see people again.
    The day out and walk sounded lovely yesterday. A pasty too.....very jealous. We can get pasties here but they’re not a patch on the real thing.......

  • Right the house is done and I can now chill out, the cats had got cat litter everywhere, I honestly think they just stand in the tray and throw it all around the floor for funΒ 
    I have had washing on the line but it's all still as damp as it was when I pegged it out 😟I think I'm just going to leave it out overnight because I don't want it hanging around the house.
    I was going to make a cake today but ran out of time and now I'm too tired, I will have to have a go tomorrow insteadΒ

    Glad your mum is recovering, what a pain for her having to isolate through no fault of her own. Fingers crossed she's not picked it up. Sorry to hear you're still suffering, you must be so fed up of it, I hope it doesn't spoil your week off too much.Β
