    Take it easy on your days off. Rest is so important getting better from the things our poor bodies have to endure. We really do put them to the test in all sorts of ways. 
    It’s comforting to hear some IT interventions are making things better as so often they make things more complicated 😂😂😂or maybe that’s just when I use technology 😂😂
    Happy knitting- what colour is the wool for your jumper?
    Believe me our new IT system must be really well designed if I can use it without messing it up ,we've had a few teething problems but on the whole it's working well. My wool is dark grey 😊

    Glad your wool has arrived. 
    Agree that resting on days off is the best option. I know a few people who keep saying they feel like they're relapsing when they've felt better.

    Thanks, was very excited, I'm not feeling too good today which is annoying because I have things I need to do 😟

    Sorry to hear that the Covid poorliness is lingering, OBL. I think your body is defo telling you to rest while you can, so you are being very sensible.
    You've made a great start on your knitting. I hope to start my new project today.

    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!
  • I hope the sickness passes soon OBL it must be a horrible thing to put up with. My niece is finally going back to work, 7 weeks she has been off with Covid , she thought she would never make it back. 
    I hope you managed a sleep this afternoon and that you get a good rest tonight . 
    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

    You can do anything if you put your mind to it. x
  • I'm sorry you still feel poorly OBL, make sure you rest and only do the essentials around the house.

    I got on well with both of my sisters and miss the one who died very much. I have a half brother and some step siblings who I'm on good terms with but I don't feel close to them as I've never lived with them. I think you're wise to keep away from toxic siblings as it's not worth the hassle.

    I’m an only child and often wish I had a sibling. Then I hear some horror stories and think maybe not 😬

    I hope you’re having a relaxing weekend x
