    AC, just a heads up 're the jab -the medical staff will tell you "flu like symptoms for a couple of days - the reality for wife and I has been 5 days of a variety of minor irritations, from flu like to stiff arm/hot and itchy jab site/slight lethargy, none of which were serious and all of which are now gone. Roll on the second jab and a then a further few weeks later maximum protection! Keep safe😁.
    Thanks harz 😼
    yes, I expect all of the above . I'm in the right place ( home 😺) . 
    Glad you are both getting back on track 😼👍

  • Thanks mrs p & DIA 😼
    yes , it does seem like things are back on track with the weight. Having said that, when I see myself infront of the camera doing live sessions with mr trainer 🏋️‍♀️ , I can see there is still a long way to go . Looking at myself this morning , it looks like I've swallowed a hot water bottle than a gas balloon so I guess progress is being made 😼
  • Haven't read all the back stuff I have missed, but just to say pleased that you have had the jab.  I had mine last week.  Had a headache for a few days and felt bit lethargic but fine now.  Well worth it.

    I feel the same, in that I can see I am too heavy for my frame despite the weight I have lost there is more to go. I could lose another 2 stone and no one would think I was underweight.
    So, remember how far you have come as you were much heavier than you are now. Progress is definitely being made :)
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

  • Thanks @helensbiggestfan and @doingitanyway😼
    Yes, progress is definitely being made and keeping my routine is the key 🔑
    So, I was relaxing / falling asleep but at the forefront of my mind is that the work related lady was due to call me at 3pm ☎️ 
    I waited for over half an hour ⏰and was feeling very hungry . So, I said sod it I can't wait anymore and I had a nice feed . 
    It's hard to know what to think really . Being laid back as ever, I make allowances for sickness/ other clients / working from home etc . Having said all of that , they have been inconsistent especially over the last month . I know that I'm being taken off of their books this month anyway , but if I am always doing above and beyond and complying with everything , I'm not impressed  . 
    Plans for rest of evening are watching the chase and the final episode of spiral series 5 
    Ive been watching the reruns on the 👁player . 
    Accessing on demand has been problematic due to everyone doing the same thing ,and I often have to try 7 or 8 times to access on demand . I'm not sure what's slower; the work related group or my broadband connection these days .
    I'll leave it there ..☃️
  • I received an email from the lady at the work related group  at 16.04 pm . Not quite Thursday at 16.00 . No phone call. No text . Poor show . The email just informed me of my next appointment being on Thursday 25 th of this month at 12.00
    Tbh, I don't really know what to make of it all . There isn't much of anything , that could be done on both sides due to the present situation . It's just that the calls are supposed to be checks on my well-being as well as seeing how I'm progressing or not.
    It will be the last one , so we'll see what gives .

    Sleeping pattern and grogginess is variable again . 🛌
    No walk since last Friday 👣although  on Monday , the temperature should rise and I may start off again.

    My washer/ dryer has another hairline crack. This one is on the door! 
    Its a Hotpoint , and should have been on the list of dangerous models imho . I'll leave negative feedback on trust pilot and in the meantime I'll have to get another one . Probably Bosch 🙀
    I'll leave it there .. 
  • For some bizarre reason , I didn't exercise over the weekend 🏋️‍♀️.Having said that , I am allowed 1 day a week off on the schedule . Another odd thing of late is that I'm staying up a little later before I go to bed 🛌. I woke up today a little sluggish and flu like ( probably side effects of jab) . However, I don't feel too bad now.   I managed to tidy up clutter in music room as its now known 🎹🎼and in that room there are only a few jobs to do .( painting / filling ) I'm waiting for James to box pipes in boiler in that room , but obviously no rush. The room looks much better and practical . I may paint room myself eventually  if I feel like today . 
    I feel like the rest of the flat will be finished sooner than I thought and that I know what to do ,and what's needed to be done . Lots of clothes need to be dumped for example . I feel more relaxed after clearing up that room this morning . 
    One of the worst things about recording ( or trying to ) music 🎹🎼...endless amounts of wires! Plus of course various instruments and drum machines etc. I prefer having hardware as well as software, as using software can be a buzzkill at times 🐝. Something like that.
    The temperature has risen somewhat since yesterday ⛄️
    Having said that , the rest of the week is supposed to be winds and rain 💦. I'm supposed to go to the dentist for a hygienist visit this week but will cancel until next week . 
    Anyway, I'll leave it there ..💦💦💧

    Glad you are still sorting out stuff AC.  I have sorted loads of clothes out and they are waiting in a big plastic sack to go to the charity shop!  I know you don't drive, so another thing you could do is put them for free on Facebook (if you belong a local group).

  • Just wondering if there are any clothes recycling bins at any of your local supermarkets. You could take an early morning walk with a back pack and avoid contact with people?

  • okay,  where am i ?
    Last week, I excel course and passed with 100%.  It seemed dumbed down somewhat, but pass  it I did.
    I took the word exam , and failed . 65%. I'll retake it soon when I'm back in the frame of mind. 
    I  still haven't cancelled the course at the college , but will probably do that on Monday. you've probably noticed, that I'm getting my finger out at last.🖕 I  think with the current situation, I'm better off learning the microsoft office that I purchased from  ebay instead. I feel a bit more focused these days, and 🤞 I can improve my computer skills that way.

    The effects from the jab didn't have any effects on me ..until the  last couple of days!  
    Bear🐻 in mind, that it was 8 days ago that I  had it . Everything was fine until yesterday, when my nose was running constantly👃. A couple of days, I thought that I forgot to turn the heating off. Then, with the runny nose, it dawned on me  👃

    Waitrose messed up my food order this morning🛒. There are worse things in the world obviously. The mistakes were advising me that they never sent me any bread at all. They also advised me that half of my order of green and blacks milk chocolate ,will be replaced by G&B salted milk chocolate🤮. The thing is when mr delivery delivered , there were no salty bars. 
    All of this meant that I had to make a swift order from Tesco for 2-10pm delivery slot tomorrow , which I was lucky to get as most people don't want late deliveries.

    Dentist appointment , postponed until next Thursday.🦷
    I haven't been out since last week👣. Next week will be very different .
    Everything else is the same, although I will be looking to  see if there are jobs I can do from home for a few hrs a week eventually.( What equipment I will need etc). 
    I received another email from the GVT. I'm to carry on shielding until 31st March.😷

    I received a pest phone call from money expert regarding my broadband☎️. I made a mistake last year, when trying to move from EDF to another supplier by contacting them and Simply Switch . They were both  useless, and I settled my differences with EDF and am still with them. I told the nice customer service lady that I'm happy with my current supplier of broadband etc
    She did laugh when I pointed out why I wouldn't go to her recommended companies. Having said that, all numbers blocked, and emails unsubscribed .
    I'll leave it there..🌦
