eBay - I searched A4 flexible lined magnetic fridge magnet after seeing them on the Works website. I’m really pleased with them. I find it hard to write on a vertical whiteboard because of the Fibro in my hands and wrists but also I loose bits of paper and note books because of the ADHD. 

I’m going to give up with  my blooming  pork chop at this rate. Another day where despite having the best intentions, I still didn’t manage to cook it. By the time I’d taken some extra painkillers and had a bath in the afternoon, I fell asleep from six pm until half an hour ago. I guess I used all my ‘spoons’ going out on Wednesday and peeling all those spuds this morning.

Awful to think about. So much devastation. 

I only came on because there is an interesting article in the Washington Post about the effects of the vaccine on Long Covid. It might be of interest to some of the posters on here 😃

I’m sorry to hear that about your granddaughter- obviously we all wish her a speedy and complete recovery. 

Have you looked on the British Lung Foundation website? There is some great information on there – breathing tips and exercises etc I was so inspired that I joined a Tuneless choir for 2 weeks before Covid19 ruined that 😂

If you are on Facebook I have seen links for a chronic fatigue super conference with Dr Sarah Myhill - she is a huge advocate for ME/CFS 😃

I been following her tips since I was hospitalised with God knows what going on with my lungs in November 2019. I was using a salt pipe, doing inhalation’s, breathing and vocal exercises for the early part of last year. The prognosis wasn’t looking great but I have made an almost full recovery from what was thought to be lung disease. It was slow though 😔

Wishing you all the best with the jab 😃

I mainly lurk and coming out to ask if there is a reason I am missing why locals are filling up jerrycans at the garage? Not sure if it is locals being locals or if I am missing something
