Progress not Perfection

Oh no. Hope you don't have a lurgy!

I don't feel any worse anyway. It's no surprise I've picked something up as the office has been really busy recently and a few have gone down with Covid. I was also at the extremely busy Christmas market on Saturday. If I feel worse tomorrow I'll do a test. 

I've been out and had my nails done and on the way back went into the charity shop and bought a lovely Christmas ornament for £2. Mr SA was adamant this ornament lights up (it doesn't) and has fiddled with it that much he's broken part of it off 🤬 He just wouldn't be said! It is fixable though. 

Another windows/door payment has gone out so now there is only £300.72 left to pay. Just two more payments and it's gone 😁

Another thing which I find soothing for lergies is the Belvoir cordial variety which contains elderberries - the old version disappeared off the shelves for ages, but there is now a new version which I have bought ready for if I am stricken - it contains echinacea, elderflower & elderberry. I haven't tried this one yet, but the old version was really soothing for sore throats & coughs when made up with hot water from the kettle. I reckon I could maybe even get Mr F to partake of a mug of that & he is the worst patient in the world (well, apart from my best friend's husband, tbf).
Feel better soon,

Thank you for the sore throat tips. I find anything fizzy is also soothing especially Prosecco 🤣

Here is the ornament. Mr SA broke the lamp because he was adamant it lit up even though it was obvious it didn’t. I’ve mended it with the string from a gift tag.

Happy new nails to you.

In fairness it does look as if it should light up. It’s very nice 👍

And so it begins…

Just got back from the office and cooking Mr SA’s dinner before heading out to the lights switch on and my tombola stall. I’m sure it will be a nice evening but no way am I volunteering again! 

I’ve got a stinker of a cold! 

When I get back tonight it’s straight in the bath then bed.

I'd have cried off, saying I was ill. You will make yourself feel worse and possibly infect others as well. I'm sure they would have understood. Its a cold night to be going out. Round here the frost hasn't thawed off the grass all day. Take care.

Hope all goes well.

I hope the evening isn't too hard and you can get over it quickly.

I love the ornament, she has a sort of 1940s look to her.
