The bloke sat next to me on the plane was full of cold, constantly blowing his nose and sniffing so no surprise I’ve picked something up.Dog tablets ordered another £56 spent plus had to order Mr SA some more pads £40.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Hope you escape the cold.
I've started feeling a bit off this morning while I've been at work. Can't quite put my finger on it but something isn't right.
Hoping it isn't Covid because we have that going around the office at the moment.
If it is I want it now so it can be gone in time for the van festival we have booked next weekend!!2 -
Yes definitely a lot of covid going round at the moment and some people feeling quite ill with it. People should be more careful and the guy you sat with on the plane, should have worn a mask if he knew he was ill. Some people are just very selfish these days with illnesses. Might be worth you doing a test to make sure. Hope you feel better soonMaking the debt go down and savings go up

A bit late but I enjoyed hearing our MSE celebrity radio star. I agree that Ryland sounds really nice and fun.
back to reality now but hopefully the rain has stopped for a couple of days and the temperature is creeping up again.2 -
Morning all, happy Friday 🙂 It was lovely to wake up to sunshine but is clouding over now.
I feel full of cold this morning. My nose is streaming just how the bloke sitting next to me on the plane was like, thanks for that mate 😠
Mr SA is up already so it’s going to be a long long day. Give him 10 minutes and he’ll be asking what we’re doing/where we’re going today.I have the hairdressers this afternoon then I’m supposed to be going to a friends of the park meeting. Will see how I feel about the meeting as I perked up as the day went on yesterday. I’m conscious of passing on my germs though.Have done a few surveys and lots of Spanish lessons this morning. Also started a new book.Hopefully will get some washing dried today. Mr SA “helpfully” provided me with plenty of extra washing yesterday.Today’s exercise will be walking to the big Mr T and back. Yet another trolley needs returning from the park! I don’t know where the kids are getting them from as Mr T is a fair distance away. I think it’s time Mr T started making their trollies payable like other stores.Tonight’s dinner is lightly dusted yellowfin sole with butternut squash wedges and steamed veg.Gardening tasks are cut the grass, do some weeding and feed the greenhouse plants. No doubt relocate several slugs as there were loads slithering around on the patio last night.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5 -
We seem to have had a slug population boom in our garden this year. Probably due to all the wet cool weather we have had!1

Hope you feel better soon SA - that is very kind of you to walk that trolley back to Tesco - but if you aren’t feeling well enough to do it I’m sure they would be grateful of a heads up and send someone to collect it xxLancashire

Why would they spend money making all the changes to trolleys & trolley parks when they have lovely people like you to return their trolleys for them. I have seen trolleys over a mile away in gardens & am sure some people push them to the supermarket then take them home with them again.

They certainly do @badmemory we used to see it daily in the student area my office used to be in. Piled high with all manner of carp and walking down the road with it no shameLancashire

Many years ago as part of recruitment process I had to check the criminal records of staff (senior and responsible professionals). They were nearly always clear but I still remember one who was found guilty of being drunk in charge of a supermarket trolley on a major highway 🙀5
