You have a problem with the phrase 'conspiracy theory'?

It describes the thing quite well, doesn't it? Someone theorises that someone else is conspiring. Are we not allowed to question people's motives?

I reported them because I didn't feel a prepping hread was suitable to disseminate conspiracy theory links from a website who's twitter account was removed by twitter for fake accounts and spam. I'm sure there's a more suitable thread somewhere on here where people would love to debate this. Maybe a specifically covid related thread or the Money Saver Arms would be more appropriate.

Well the forum has been de-listed from the forum and hidden, so unless you have then bookmarked you will have to google them up. Its still open for now.

My sigs gone as well it was just this https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html And the NHS tracker App

I'm a happy Boult, I've now got sweet pepper seeds sprouting, courgettes have all ready been potted on, and next should see me potting on the cucumbers and tomato seedlings. And the cut cress is sending a second set of leaves out.

Lots of our seedlings are doing well too Boult! It's lovely to see. Our cut and come again lettuce is really getting established now, which I am delighted about. I did 4 sets, we only really need one for our little family, so I will be sharing the other 3 once they are a little more established

Also have a LOT of tomato seedlings on the go, of various varieties, so I can do the same thing and share with neighbours.

Our morrisons delivery arrived yesterday. Only a few substitutions (largely acceptable), and a few missing items. Very happy with that. Slot was 6-7am, and they were here at 6.05am! So I'm glad I made the effort to get up at 5.45am in anticipation. Took a long time to put it all away though, thanks to our cleaning routine. But worth it for peace of mind.

DD (3) scared the absolute daylights out of us early Sunday evening. Just as I was dishing up dinner, and husband stood by kitchen doorway talking to me, she fell face first into the edge of the TV unit! Badly injured her nose. We suspect broken. A lot of upset all round, and umming and ahhing about going to a&e. Decided against it as a) risk at a&e currently high for picking something up b) they can't do anything for a broken nose c) it still looks straight and d) no loss of conciousness/concussion signs/bad cut. Have had her in bed with me last two nights though, just to be safe. And god bless her, she looks like a boxer right now, with 2 black eyes! I can't believe it. Have been doing everything to keep her safe. Saying no to dangerous activities and then that! She has since admitted that she was walking around with her eyes closed!! Something we have repeatedly told her not to do, for this exact reason. I don't think she'll do that again though!

Oh, DD! And yikes what an anxious time! Poor honeybunch to be exploring the universe & land that surprise, but the black eyes will fade and life will carry on! These new flat TVs are why years ago I deliberately went for the old bulbous heavy CRT monitors - my then toddling lads could bump into them without tears (also they were several orders of magnitude cheaper then)
How's she & yourselves this morning?

Poor Babbit! hope she's not too uncomfortable with the sore nose and that you are OK too, scared the living daylights out of you when it happens doesn't it lovey? xxx.

Thank you lovelies. She is absolutely fine now. Even yesterday morning she was. I have offered calpol, but she says it only hurts a little when she scrunched her nose up. Looks a lot worse though! She has a blue, swollen nose (near the top), and two black eyes bless her. She looks quite different. The swelling changes the look of her face completely. The swelling is reducing though. Both mornings the eyes have been puffy, but they calm down as the day goes on. Have requested a call from GP today to ensure we aren't missing anything important in caring for it, and receptionist agreed they won't do anything for a broken nose at hospital anyway.

And yes, was awful. She was very upset, for quite a while. The usual distraction technique of a sweetie or some chocolate had little impact. She did eventually calm down though, and we let her stay up later so we could check for signs of concussion etc. My immediate reaction was 'oh my god that's bad!'. To which DH glared at me in a reminder that we need to stay calm for her sake. Thankfully worst is over now.

I usually have a 'morning' cough. I'm sure it worries people on my morning walks at the moment. I think it's just clearing the tubes of stuff you've accumulated overnight. Fortunately it has been warm lately so am able to have bedroom doors & windows open overnight, so no stuffy nose this morning.
