    How are your sister and nephew feeling, do they have symptoms?
    Thats not good news with your work, hopefully it settles down.
    You've done Really well with receiving vouchers and spending them on presents saving you actual cash 👏👏. 
    They’re poorly with cold like symptoms. Both have lost taste and smell. They’re okay though. 

    It was my nephews birthday on Friday too. Poor thing had to didn’t it in isolation.

    I’ve had a text from DD’s school too. She’s a close contact. I’ve done a lateral flow on her and it’s negative but I wouldn’t be surprised if it isn’t long before we’re off.

    It’s going to get worse before better. There’s a whole staff review coming, it’s going to be worrying but I just need to get through it.

    Yes, it does seem to be spreading, doesn’t it? X

  • Today has been nice, getting up and doing the remembrance walk was lovely. I have done it with DD every year it’s been on, but this year she was part of it.

    I managed to use vouchers and things to get most of the presents. I used my supermarket voucher £15 off a £60 spend to get next weeks food and three Christmas presents. That means that the three presents are ‘free’ just another saving money way.

    DD needs some small stocking fillers now but the majority of hers is done. 

    I had coffee with my friend this afternoon. That was nice too. He brought some clothes for DD and I and some bits for me to list for him! He’s cheeky but funny at the same time.

    I’m glad I’ve managed to get pretty much most of the gifts with vouchers. The last few vouchers I’ve got are going on presents too. There’s hardly any that I’ve got to get now. Very happy indeed with the savings I’ve managed to do.

    The next voucher should be here by Wednesday. That will get me another three presents as I already have another £5 voucher for that shop.

    Your friend sounds really nice and all is sounding positive apart from the work situation. 
    I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)
  • I hope your sister and nephew recover soon Willow. My friends son in law has caught it and has ended up in hospital, he is only 40 with no underlying health conditions

    One of my friends sister sadly passed away last week, early 50s with no underlying health either. So so sad.
