    Thank you. The sore throat is much better today. 

    It's an odd one this. Feel like I have a cold but without the snot 🤣🤣🤣
  • Glad the sore throat is feeling better.  

    I have asked the forum team what the PPR means under your user name.  There seems to be lots of glitches on the site at the moment.

    Not a no spends day today. We have been and picked up some more booze while it is cheap.

    Breakfast, lunch and dinner will be from stores. Breakfast was crumpets, we have both taken our packed lunches to work and dinner tonight is bangers and mash with some nice chicken sausages from the farm shops, potato, parsnip and swede mash and greens.

    Tonight's jobs are:
    • walking the dog
    • cleaning the kitchen
    • cleaning the bathrooms
    • vacuuming the house
    This cold minus the snot is still making it's presence known. It's weird. It doesn't knock you off your feet but you know you are not 100% fighting fit. Hoping to shake it off by the weekend. 
  • Hope you're better by the weekend :)  We could probably do with stocking up the booze for Christas hosting but the supermarkets are already getting busy.  I may have to do a 'middle of the night' shop

    We find first thing in the morning is best.

    There is a huge blue supermarket near where we work so we get there 30 minutes before we are due at work and can do the shopping in peace.

    Near Christmas I used to shop about 7am but as I now need the bus and have a buss pass I cant get there until after 9 along with mums calling in after dropping children at school and other old folk doing their shopping. If Mr LH takes me for the heavy stuff it is early afternoon which I hate. I do miss being able to drive but it is best not for the sake of other road users as my vision is not good especially in low light.
  • I have also been advised that PPR is posting privileges removed.  I would have thought they would message you though and obviously you can post.  The only thing I would say is to make sure your photos have no identifying information on as I think I recall seeing one recently with your partners face sideways on.  I think you normally black out the van registration plate but maybe one of those got missed? That is honestly the only reason I can think of as to why they would remove privileges.  Not sure if you have tried to upload photos since then.
