  • Feeling very optimistic today , not long left until hopefully life can return to some normality. One thing I am grateful for is the time I have spent with DD and GKs in this unusual time . She will be going it alone for two days but am sure she will be fine , the test will be getting the children to school on time with a little baby. Very glad to be going back to my routine tomorrow, with the promise of a walk with my best friend on the 13th March and a coffee . Have booked a beauty appt for after opening as well. 
    Have had notification my new sofa and chair are due to be delivered mid March so have had to pay my portion of that today £279 . 
    Anyways best get a shuffle on for my last shift at DDs .

    Glad the show was good. Your time off has passed quickly. Don’t work too hard when you go back 😉

  • You have every reason to be cheerful. Time with the new baby alone must be cause enough for a smile on your face :)
    I also find the Spring-like weather a tonic. At last.

  • Back to work was fine today , nice and steady . Had to go into work this morning as it was Wednesday, a colleague I haven't seen since last March was in so nice to have a catch up. 
    Interesting email this afternoon, I took part in a Covid Antibody test back in December and my test was positive . This would indicate that I have had Covid 19 , which means if I have I have been very lucky as obviously not been unwell with it. Still glad to have had my jab though.

    Interesting that you’ve got the antibodies......just shows how you can have the virus and not even know about it.
    Glad work was ok for you.

    That is very interesting to know. I bet lots of people have had it and not been ill. 

    Glad you had a nice day at work and that you’re sounding so positive 😁

  • That is interesting that you have the antibodies. Do you have an idea as to when it might have been? I think you remember you doing a test and wonder if it was then but the test didn't pick up on it.  X

    This is one of the reasons why it's managed to spread so easily,there are so many asymptomatic people out there who would have unknowingly given it to someone else. We had a teenager in in the first wave who was admitted for something not related to covid, she had no symptoms at all but was positive, We have had several children since then with no symptoms that tested positive

  • Yes it has surprised me because I have had a Covid test nearly every month apart from 8 weeks between September and November . No idea when it can have been but as you say shows how easily you can spread it. Luckily non of my bubble have had it so for that I am grateful.
