    Well I've succumbed to the dreaded C19.  Feel grotty, walked the dogs (I don't see anybody) and that wipes me out for the day.  Poor OH is having to manage without me, he did make noises about me coming in.  Tomorrow I'll do another test and see how that goes.  Tell a lie, I've managed to push the hoover round.  Had to cancel my new cleaning fairy, hopefully she'll be back on Tuesday.

    Another day at home.  DD1s BF has taken the dog to the vets for her x-ray to confirm number of puppies.  Sorted out the corner where the whelping box is going, need to get some Jeyes fluid to give it a good clean.  Then after Tuesday she'll be on maternity leave.

    Still feel really drained and seem to have a permanent headache.  It'll soon pass hopefully.

    Feel loads better and tested negative this morning. Took the dogs for a walk, hoovered and then collected take away Sunday lunch. Currently slobbing  in front of the tv. It’s a gorgeous day, OH is feeling under the weather but has tested negative. Got a busy week ahead. Got to meet our mechanic at a garage when he drops a car off, come back and do the internet orders. OH is meeting a wagon on another site to bring a digger back and then he’s at the docs. Somehow have to get the vehicle dropped off in the morning home. I’m sure it’ll all pan out ok.

    OH is still pretty snotty and feeling tough, yet tested clear again this morning. He was supposed to go to the docs this afternoon but decided to cancel it to be on the safe side. He made another appointment for next week. 

    Didn’t have to go and collect the car this afternoon as it wasn’t ready. Managed to pack 207 parcels but not quite caught up with eBay, should get it done tomorrow 

    Dog is having another x- ray tomorrow as they couldn’t be sure how many pups there are. I’d like to know for peace of mind. Old dog is having her new ( expensive) monthly injection. It has made a huge difference and she bounds around like tigger on speed!  She’s shedding her coat and for a smooth haired dog the amount of hair she’s losing is incredible. I think I’m wearing most of it!

    new cleaning fairies are in tomorrow, can’t wait. I’ll have to go to badders as I’ve got the net, doubt OH will come but think DD1 will. Her lambing is very quiet, the girls haven’t really started though she did have one with quads at the weekend.
