Morning napping is entirely acceptable with Covid, I find! I’ve just dared to take in a supermarket order (and I had to get Mr MV to help and it was only small) and am now recovering on the sofa before dragging myself back upstairs to my desk. It feels so pathetic! I haven’t even put the shopping away, just the freezer stuff and the easy fridge stuff.
Good going on the HW - and thanks again for that list on Karma’s thread - it’s made me venture a bit further and am paying a few games now, with small amounts coming in. I’m not sure how much I’ll like the increased ups and downs of casino, but I think I’ll enjoy it more than MB for content. (Having played quite a bit of free bingo yesterday and not won a penny, I can’t imagine why anyone would use real money on it, so no temptation there!)Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

No, I never get the appeal of bingo!
Not that much energy here either, although it sounds like more than you. Mind you, I'm not doing anything other than sitting at a desk 😂
Anyway, great excitement here this morning - I had an email to say I've got my promotion 😁 this is the culmination of YEARS of me slowly working to tick things off the giant list of frankly ludicrous criteria so I am DELIGHTED it's finally come to fruition.
Just waiting for the results of this morning's covid test - could we be up for an outdoor cafe trip to celebrate?! Technically my five days of non-compulsory isolation are well over, but I don't really feel comfortable out and about if I'm still testing positive... 🙄16 -
Oooh congratulations Cheery! That's wonderful news!!! (Don't wear yourself out with the excitement!!) 🍾🥂🍰 Very well deserved too.
(I'm OK if I'm just sitting at a desk - it's when I move it's a problem!)
Fingers crossed for a negative test so you can celebrate in cafe style!Mortgage free 16/06/2023! £132,500 cleared in 11 years, 3 months and 7 days

Nope, still faintly positive, and also still coughing and spluttering a bit, so staying home today. Have dispatched Mr Cheery to get some more milk from the village shop - I can't wait til he comes back from his proper trip about 8pm for another cup of tea!!5

Boo to that faint line!
