    Hope you feel better soon. 

    I thought of you as my little relative is off to the Lakes in a few weeks. I asked her where she was going and she said Hawaii.

    Made it to pay day nearly , been a busy spending month but not had to to dip into savings so all good. 
    Looks like sickness bug may have done one at long last . 
    I have upped all my pots this month for food, petrol and energy . This means I will need to use savings probably for the 6 months I am just on my part time salary . Ten weeks now and counting. 
    Have done my walk for today , early appt at the doctors for a routine test, the doctors was buzzing with patients, first time I have seen so many people in there . 
    The weather is going to be great the next few days , lucky DD and family are off to South Wales for a long weekend ,taking the children out of school for Friday and Monday . 
    I am looking forward to some down time, been in work Monday and part of Wednesday got sent home at lunchtime owing to a gas leak. I was helping out with interviews yesterday I quite enjoyed it. 
    Only two weeks left until my first break of the year , can't wait. J

    A day of good and bad news , the good news it was payday , the weather was uplifting . The bad was I went shopping with my dad , when we got back dad said he felt cold and achey , I asked him to do a lateral flow test and it was positive . My mum tested negative for now . I came home , I hope I don't get it, can't help be worried about my dad though him being 83 . 
    I will just keep testing every few days . 
    My DD arrived at the  caravan and very nice it is for the price paid, the kids were very excited , youngest one was opening cupboards and doors 😘.

    Also hope your dad is ok. One of my friends is classed as clinically vulnerable and has recently had Covid but had no symptoms at all. She just took a test because she’d been in contact with it.

    Looks like I am spending the weekend alone. I was meeting a friend tomorrow for a walk but she doesn't want to take the chance I might have Covid from my dad , fair enough . Tested negative again this morning as has my mum. Going to get my car washed and hoovered this morning, then going to see my mum in the garden socially distanced as need to drop of some shopping. 
    Tomorrow I am going to go out early if still negative to a lake walk not far away about 30 min drive for some fresh air. 
    Need to do housework later as well

    Oh no. Hope your dad doesn’t get too poorly and the rest of you stay safe.
