    Afternoon all :)
    Short dog walk again this morning due to wet and icy conditions. Really missing a decent walk! Other than that:
    More freezer blueberries with breakfast porridge
    Kitchen clean up including washing OH's dirty finger marks from the back door paintwork :# 
    Usual tidy up bedroom, bathroom etc
    Packed ebay parcels and printed out paperwork for post office. I was just about to set off to post them, but it has started raining again. Hopefully it will stop!
    Icyland shopping has arrived and been put away
    And milk bill paid
    Fridge bits for lunch
    Last of gammon joint for dinner (it was only a small one, but this will be the third meal it will have done) :)
    Hope CLF is ok?
  • Hi folks,
    Rough night, had an upset tummy but brain a bit clearer today. Everyone is saying the same. Seem to be up and down and symptoms changing all the time. Hopefully will get a better sleep tonight. 
    Started to take the Christmas deccies down but too tired to finish. Hopefully tomorrow or the next day.
    Love you all

  • Hi guys, new to the group, like the idea of doing little things to help along with the journey. Today I'm going to go through a box of things I have to list on ebay (that I've been strategically avoiding) hopefully I'll make a few quid in the process, and then perhaps an afternoon walk

  • Morning folks
    Much better sleep last night although doesn't stop you waking up tired. Still coughing away like a trooper although I am dressed today and have put a wash on. Trying to keep a lid on the anxiety.
    It's OH's tenth day of symptoms and my ninth. 
    OH is actually out of quarantine on the stroke of new year so I'm trying to see that as a sign 
    Have a good one all

    thanks :) glad to be here. Anyone know why I can't change my signature just yet? Is it because I'm a noob?

    Afternoon all :)
    Feel lazy and unmotivated today (I can see a pattern developing here...) but did manage a semi decent dog walk this morning. It was very cold and icy, so I wore my wellies and was very slow and careful. I am sure that the NHS can do without me turning up with some stupid injury due to slipping on the ice! Anyway, managed a decent distance, but painfully slow :D  
    Other things:
    Listed a couple of items on ebay
    Read meters and entered readings onto energy company's app
    Freezer tetris this morning to fit in bread products from yesterday's grocery delivery. Also managed to squeeze in some gifted parsnips that OH peeled and chopped. Then found more parsnips left over from the pre-Christmas shop. They found their way into the freezer as well. Debated making soup but decided to use up some stuff from the fridge first.
    Made a chilli for dinner, used up some stock, the end of a bag of frozen mushrooms and some peppers that I chopped and froze last week.
    And that is about it!  Stove lit and kettle on!
    PS welcome @debtfreefor2022. Sorry, I don't know the answer to your query about signature editing. The site was redesigned a while ago, and I find this new version much less user friendly than the old one. I am assuming you have tried clicking on profile > edit profile > signature settings?

    Thanks :) but for some reason, it says I don't have permission to use signature. Maybe when I've been around a little longer it'll work
