Hoping you’re on the mend and have managed to dodge the virus

Still negative today. No coughing last night and temp has come down a bit . Still blowing my nose for ever , dull headache and sore throat . 

Another pyjama day today , going to try and do new budget starting on payday the 18th . Got a couple of things to put on eBay today so may do that as well.

Phoned in sick today , still not quite there yet . Have decluttered a couple of drawers and been reading a book I got for Christmas. 

I am going to watch some tv now I think.

A bit more decluttering again today . I need to try and get outside today I have been stuck in since late Friday afternoon .

Sorry you're not well Sunshine. I expect it would have shown up on a test by now if it was Covid. I had a cold for seven weeks before Christmas and needed antibibiotics but kept testing negative for Covid. 

Your round up of your year sounds so positive .

I've also had various coldy symptoms but regular LFT's ahead of those symptoms becoming apparent have all been negative - there are just an awful lot of colds about at the moment I think and we've all forgotten how rough they can make us feel after most of us having had 12 months or more free of them!

I seem to have very nearly fought the virus off , no cough just a slight runny nose , about time as well. 

I have spent two full days in my works office and it has been ok not many people . I am looking forward though to getting back into routine next week. 

The dentist was this morning and nothing needed so just £23 something. I can claim it back so will do that this weekend. 

My manager did my 1to 1 today and we discussed my part time working interest. He came up with an option for me to think about. Rather than going part time officially from December we have a flexible scheme where you can drop your hours for a min 3 month up to 12 month so I may do that and see how I get on financially. 

I got another pension forecast online yesterday and I am going to be ok by the looks of it ,working part time and getting one of my pensions. The only downfall is I will lose out on my pension that I pay into now as it's final salary . 

However I feel I am ready now to do less hours so I am going for it as soon as financially viable .

I think that's a great idea.
So difficult for people in our age group who should have been retiring at 60.
