  • Not feeling the best today, seem to have got my cough back and the runny nose back. The LFT keep saying negative , so maybe just another cold . 
    My DGD loved doing her show last night and was very excited . 
    It's still very foggy round here as it was last night , but need to do the shopping for parents and myself. 
    At least after today I won't be seeing anyone until Wednesday so hopefully being at home will make me better for Christmas. 
    Have a good Sunday everyone.

  • I hope you feel better soon.

  • It seems worse at night, feel okish now after fighting the supermarket visit. Got to give my local Aldi they had a lot of staff in , filling up . 
    Just some veg to buy Thursday and that's it now . Don't buy loads as no one eats it . Looking forward to finishing on Wednesday and spending time with my family and getting outside for walks .

    Woohoo that's an achievement. I was giving cash to someone but they've now asked for some books so I have a few more items to wrap now.

  • Well done on the present wrapping SG2 - astonishingly I'm in the same position, not sure that's ever happened so early before but I'm loving it!  Hopefully your cold will do the decent thing and get itself gone soon!
