I suppose not all that many people will react but it seems to be more likely among those who've already reacted to something.

I had a slight allergic reaction when I went to bed last night but it was just my face and eyes itching and wasn't severe, I got up and took some Piriton and that calmed it down. I was ok this morning although my arm is hurting today, DDs arm hurt within an hour but mine was fine all days I thought I had gotten away with it 😀 it's not too bad though, there are lots of side effects mentioned in the info sheet and one of them is painful joints, my joints are really hurting this evening but that could be down to Fibromyalgia to be honest,I won't know if I'm getting any of the common side effects because they are things I live with everyday 🙄
The most exciting thing that happened today was that I got to use my new mop 😀🎉😀🎉 and I have to say I love it, it will speed up cleaning the house especially when I have my wood floors put in, I'm glad I spent out on it now 😀 It was actually living room day today so I gave the living room a good clean
I took B for a walk through the fields again today, I'm trying to make sure I have at least one good walk a day even though I don't always feel like it, I was in quite a lot of pain this morning but I made myself go anyway and it was lovely,the sun was shining and it was quite mild, I'm always glad when I've been 😀
I was supposed to go into town today for some bits of shopping but I got a message to say the cat food was being delivered so I decided to stay at home instead. We did an online shop but can't get it delivered until Sunday🙀so this week I'm going to have to buy some bits to tide us over . Today ended up being a NSD because I stayed at home🎉🎉
I am going to take some painkillers and go to bed in a bit in the hope I will feel a bit better tomorrowOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8946 -
My arm started to hurt a few days after I had the flu jab. I'd forgotten about the jab and couldn't think what I'd done to my arm, then I remembered. I love my spray mop it's so handy for quick clean ups. I use my steam mop about once a week now - and it's ok to use it on laminate floors. I still need a proper mop and bucket though as Mr SA spills drinks a lot as it's usually the whole cup/glass he drops the other mops can't handle that quantity of liquid. I am officially the mop lady 😆 Hope you feel better today.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

I hope your side effects go away soon, at least they tend to be very short term.
The walk sounds lovely: it's a beautiful day here today so I hope to get some exercise in a while.I think a bit of sunshine is good for frugal living. (Cranky40)

I didn't wake up until 10.30 today 🙀so didn't have time to take B through the fields. She had a short walk and then I had to go into town. I just needed to go into two shops so was only out for an hour.Town was dead which is good, the bus was empty so I had no trouble getting there and back.
It should have been bedroom day today on my cleaning plan but I got distracted tidying the landing and I finally got the Christmas decorations back in the loft . I'm going to do the bedrooms on Thursday now instead
I'm working 9-5 tomorrow so a nice short day 🎉🎉🎉 I think I must be in clinics so hopefully that will go smoothly. I'm actually looking forward to work tomorrow because I will see my best friend who I haven't seen since before Christmas, we have lots to catch up on so I hope it's not busy 😂
I hope I can sleep tonight because I woke up a few times last night. I have always suffered with nightmares but they are usually quite spaced out nowadays, last night was a bad night for bad dreams so I kept waking up and then when I wake up I'm usually in pain so can't get back to sleep. Today I feel like I've been run over by a truck and all my joints are hurting, this is why I stay active because sitting down hurts more, if I'm busy I don't focus on it so much

Hope the disturbed sleep patterns improve, OBL. It becomes very tiring after a while.
