  • Great news on the Debt being so low 😊 that's nice of your friend to offer you her caravan, I wish I could get away somewhere but it's not going to happen in the near future. Me and DD2 were thinking of going to Bath for a weekend but I can't afford it now. I might rethink next summer when we have nice weather and go then

  • Good news on your debt being lower and the chance of a caravan break :)

    I haven't dowloaded the NHS ap as my phone is getting a bit old and would probably fall over if I tried to, also I don't want to be told to self isolate if I walk past someone with covid-19 and I don't want to have my bluetooth on all the time.

    That’s why I’m not downloading it HHOD. You could end up in isolation permanently. I went in M&S for a coffee last week and they were a bit shirty with me when I hadn’t scanned the QR code. They took my name and phone number though.
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • I'm still waiting and watching to see what happens with the App as well.

  • Happy October , all the rest of my dd have left my account , my gym membership is still frozen . Until the numbers start to go lower here for Covid I am not happy in a gym . 
    I heard from an old male friend yesterday , we plan to meet up when restrictions are lifted a little. I am a little dubious about it as this person has been very unpredictable in the past . We will see I guess , though after my past experience I think maybe I should steer well clear. 
    Best get on with work now .

  • We have had some restrictions lifted , not sure what they mean to me , but I think the pubs , cafes and restaurants can reopen . Local businesses have suffered so much, let's hope this time they stay open for longer.

    I saw the lifted restrictions and thought of you SG2, looks like you are in line with the rest of the county again. It would be lovely to just get back to ‘normal’ - I can’t see it happening for a good while yet though.
    Enjoy the time in the caravan. I suggested a few days away with dh once I’m feeling a bit better.....he just smiled at me......I don’t think he can visualise ever being able to get away again.......we’ve had so many plans in the making that haven’t happened for one reason or another. We will get away - hopefully in spring 🤞😄

    Have a lovely time at the caravan and hoping you get to go. 
    Good news about the restrictions too. It's been longer than I thought over your way. (If I'm right with where I think your way is).

    Brilliant news on your debt. 
    I used to WFH in different locations too. At least you can walk somewhere different once you clock off (weather allowing)
    Have a good weekend.
