Not what you wanted to hear but at least you know. I’m not surprised to be honest your immune system must’ve been so low after the last illness this virus has jumped straight on board. B will have to make do with the garden for a while.

I'm so sorry you've got the dreaded virus. I wonder if DD caught it from work or whether you did? Or could you have caught it from somewhere else? I hope you both get better soon. Make sure you get plenty of rest. Can you ask someone else to sort out the chickens for you?Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Oh noooo! Not the result you wanted at all. Do rest & take care of yourselves & each other. I assume one of you has picked it up at work & passed it to the other one. Wishing you the speediest recovery possible from the wretched thing.

Oh dear OBL. I am so sorry to hear you and your DD2 have succombed to the virus. Rest lots and at least you have a friend who can drop you shopping off. There are a few clusters even down here in the West Country so no one is immune to it. Glad your DD1 is being a bit more supportive now and understanding that you are really ill.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

I've slept quite a lot and apart from that not really moved from the settee ,unfortunately there isn't anyone who could do the chickens mainly because they would have to come though the house to get to the garden 😟Cherryfudge said:Virtual hugs - get as much rest as you can. Is there anyone who can do the chickens for you? xxOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8943 -
We were advised not to let anyone else walk B because the virus can survive on her fur ,so if we touch her and then someone else does they could theoretically catch it, she has to isolate with us and go in the gardenSunshine_girl2 said:Sorry to hear you tested positive, hope you start feeling better soon. Do you think you have caught it at work ? My niece Is in her second week of isolation and is still feeling wiped out. Look after yourselves the best you can . Is there anyone that could take B for a walk ?Good that you have your friend to drop stuff off.Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8943 -
B will be ok using the garden she just looks a bit confused, she has already taken advantage of me today by conning me into giving her breakfast twice 🙀Sun_Addict said:Not what you wanted to hear but at least you know.

Thanks Hairy, it's more than likely that I caught it from DD because she has had contact with covid patients whereas I haven't to my knowledge, having said that we have had a lot of kids through who were asymptomatic so I could have caught it from one of them, or someone on the bus I've been on the bus twice now with the same couple who don't wear masks because they are exempt but the woman coughs for the whole journey and doesn't cover her mouth so could be that, I don't think I will ever knowHairyHandofDartmoor said:I'm so sorry you've got the dreaded virus.

No not what I wanted to hear, I think DD2 picked it up and gave it to me, both our bosses are (jokingly ) telling us to blame each other 😀 a doctor from Occupational health called me earlier to try and do a timeline so they can track who we have been in contact with and he reckons its my daughter who has infected me because of where she works and there being patients with it in that area so I'm blaming her 😀foxgloves said:Oh noooo!
