    I had mine on Thurs & I can barely feel it now.  The last one the jab spot was still burning up for almost a week.  I'm never sure whether that is a good thing or not.  Flu next Friday.

    Sorry about the peppers but green tomatoes sound good.
    Funny about you queuing in the wrong queue  :)

    Up early as just can’t get comfortable, aching everywhere. Plus I had a raging thirst. Had a craving for cold lemonade at 3am for some reason - I rarely drink fizzy pop! Anyway I’ve had one of those fizzy multi vitamins you put in water and 2 paracetamol for the aching. Moved onto coffee now. 

    I’m hoping to feel better later as this started last night around 8 pm but it will be a very chilled day nevertheless. 

    It will be NSD 5 and the final day of the 4 week budget period. Also earned the £25 off voucher with the Mr M Autumn saver so will get that off my next shop.

    Oh no!  Hope the paracetamol kicks in soon.  I've been lucky with inside effects. 🤗

    Just when I wanted a quiet day Mr SA has dropped a 2 pint carton of milk on the kitchen floor and it’s gone everywhere 😩

    Oh no, what a start! It's got to get better. I hope things improve soon and you'll stop reacting to your jabs.

    Oh No. Its amazing how far liquids go. If you have free standing appliances in the kitchen check under them. Sour milk smells horrid. I hope the rest of your day is more peaceful.

    Thank goodness I feel almost back to normal now apart from being tired because I didn’t sleep as well as I usually do because of the aching. 

    I’ve decluttered the rest of the kitchen cupboards and we took the dog for a run on the park late morning. There was a football match on again but steered well clear of the pitch after last week’s shenanigans 😆

    Got two loads of washing out with the weather being so good - a tad cold though. 

    Trying another new recipe tonight from the October GF magazine - Wild Mushroom Risotto. Not had risotto for a while so looking forward to it. Had leftover pizza from last night for lunch with some salad and I still have half a bottle of Prosecco left from last night for the Strictly results tonight. Making a batch of butternut squash, chickpea, spinach and lime soup for work lunches later, one if my favourites 😋
