Simple living in the country - back to basics

Sorry to hear you might be coming down with something, and there is bad news at work, Cheery. I also wasn't feeling work today, but since I was WFH I could fritter my time away creating money saving spreadsheets 😂. I'm not sure why I felt doing s/s's was more entertaining than my actual work, but there you go 😂

Ha, that type of thing is very often more appealing than work, I think! 😂😂

Funny old day. I met my friend in the supermarket near work, intending to go back to hers for tea, but then her husband rang and said he'd just had a positive covid test 🙄 Her kids have also just had slapped cheek syndrome, and both me and her were feeling slightly under the weather so we decided not to stir the germ pot any more, and have postponed until we all feel rather better! 

I'm now curled up on the sofa in front of the TV with Mr Cheery 😁 We intend to do nothing else at all this evening 😁

Little spend in the supermarket, just milk and a sneaky reduced pastry item for the journey home...

Evening MSE chums 😊

Quite a useless day today 🙄 I now have a full blown cold, so not feeling very bright and breezy. I slept in the spare room to keep my coughing and spluttering to myself, didn't wake up much but didn't feel very well rested 🙄 Couple of work meetings, including a nice one which was the opposite side of town, so traffic there, and traffic on the way back.

Had to collect Mr Cheery, who had sedation for a hospital procedure and so wasn't allowed to leave on his own 🙄 So we only got home about 7pm - nipped into the supermarket for fruit, coffee etc on the way home - stocked up on decaff as they often don't have it, and spent £11, but nothing else today. 

Another quiet evening. Mr Cheery is still a little on the woozy side - fine, but not up to disco dancing 😂 And I am still sniffling and snuffling. 

Put in an expenses claim for mileage from before Christmas for £23 so that will be a nice addition when it arrives 😊

Nowt else to report I don't think. Managed to get a free parking space at work today which always feels like an achievement! 

Back in tomorrow for some training - I might go in in the afternoon just for that though, as I'm meant to stay with Mr Cheery for 24 hours after his sedation 🙄 Never have a productive day when I travel in the middle of the day, and that'll be twice this week, but can't be helped. 

All Vinted parcels sent now - two in transit apparently, and one sat waiting to be collected. I don't get the money til buyer has collected and confirmed all is well, so hopefully that won't be too long! 

Happy wheel is sat at a not-very-excitijg £2 for January, and I've not done anything on Prolific yet 😱 Need to up my game!

Bleurgh, coughing and spluttering and awake in the middle of the night again 🙄 Mostly because I was cold though, despite 3 blankets on top of the duvet, one underneath me, and a hot water bottle 🙄

Still, I now have a second hot water bottle, and a fifth blanket, and have, more importantly, put on tracksuit bottoms and a fleecy jumper so hopefully that will sort me out 😂😂 I don't actually own any pjs apparently 🙄 Normally this isn't an issue, but the spare room duvet is less flexible (and a lot smaller and lighter) than our normal one so it doesn't drape in the same way, and leaves my shoulders exposed 🙄😂

Checked the thread for our last bank switch, and they have finally paid incentives to  other people who switched the same day as us. Mine already went through but Mr Cheery's didn't, so hopefully that'll be in this batch! 

And now I need to get off the forum and go back to sleep. Will probably wake up having nightmares cos I'm too hot now 😂😂But it'll be better than actually shivering like I was before, oh dear!

Hope you managed to get some shut-eye in the end!

Hope you managed to be warm, actually sleep and are feeling a bit brighter today. 

Have a 🌞 to warm you as well 😊

Hope you're feeling a bit better this morning Cheery. I was cold in the night too, but not enough to do anything about it, so just didn't sleep well 🙄

Cheery_Daff

Thanks all, yes, I warmed up considerably and the rest of the night was blissfully uneventful! TMV, it's so annoying isn't it? I've lay there for an hour before now because I couldn't be bothered getting up to go for a wee 🙄😂

themadvix

Oh yes, I do that far too often!!

Our loo is on the ground floor and our bedroom upstairs!  OH grumbles constantly about having to go all the way down the stairs in the middle of the night!
