Milann’s quest for a new me in 23

It doesn’t seem right RS to have to go in whatever you’re test shows. The world has gone crazy 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

I don’t blame you keeping a distance  Foxgloves. I think I picked it up at the show and busy town centre restaurant last week….but could have easily been the very busy train station in London a few days earlier. I’m not sure about the incubation period anymore….or it could have easily been standing next to 1 person somewhere 🤷🏻‍♀️ Who knows 🤷🏻‍♀️

I’m very thankful I’ve had this strain which hasn’t been pleasant but must certainly be 100 times better than the earlier strains.

I think the theory is that the majority of people are no longer contagious after 5 days.

Does still feel wrong though!

Still testing positive.
 I actually feel ok now but haven’t done a lot. I’ve have just decluttered 2 drawers 😁 which was on my to do list for next week after I’d finished downstairs- just done a switcharoo with jobs 👍

I went on to sort out my wardrobe. It didn’t need much doing just a tidy and swap the summer tops and jumpers around. I am gutted as I have to get rid of a couple of pairs of my favourite court shoes. I bought one pair from a designer shoe shop for dds wedding. I’d been looking for a navy patent pair and eventually found a pair in Kurt Gs shop. Never been in before and never been in since 😂😂😂 It’s the most I’ve ever paid for shoes - they even came with spare heel bits. I felt a million dollars in them. I tried them on today but couldn’t even stand in them. I’d looked on the vented site and the Jones Bootmaker brand - which they are - were going for peanuts this would upset me to part with them in such a way. I’d rather give them to a charity shop so that a charity benefits and somebody will hopefully enjoy them. 

I’ve actually got more dresses than I thought . I went through a phase of buying nice dresses at bargainous prices - my cruise dresses - was the standing joke. This was at a time when there was absolutely no way I could afford or contemplate a cruise. Then we were actually going to book one for our ruby wedding and life got in the way as I was waiting for surgery so we put it off and then covid put me off. I’m still not sure if I fancy going on a floating tin box of germs ….but I couldn’t bring myself to part with most of the dresses…..just in case 😂😂😂 Not even sure if I can fit in them all or what I’d wear on my feet other than trainers with them….but for now - they still grace my wardrobe.
I went downstairs for a while then came back to bed as I’m shattered now.
Tomorrow I’ll sort my bedside drawers out. That shouldn’t take long as there are only 2 small drawers of smalls and whatever I can’t find a home for tends to make its way in there😵‍💫😳😳😂😂😂😂and maybe I’ll sort my bedding chest which to be honest is more of a wool chest 😚😚😚
I should be having some fillings on Wednesday but I’ll contact the dentist tomorrow explaining when I started with covid and leaving the decision to them. I’m presuming they’ll postpone the appointment. But I want it to be their decision as from what I’ve heard they are looking for excuses to get rid of nhs patients 😳😳 could just be rumour mongering but that’s my plan.

Dh has been shopping so no spends for me 😁 I want to do some finances tomorrow 👍

Could you sell the cruise dresses? I’ve only ever been on one cruise, just a 4 day one to Denmark of all places. It was ok but won’t be repeating the experience I’m definitely not a cruise person 😬

I know it goes against all things MSE but I’ve never sold anything on line. The heartache and stress taking the photos, posting and wondering if the buyers were genuine and if the parcels reached destinations would cost more of my time and emotional stress than I’d any cash I’d get for them would be worth. So when it’s time for me to part with them it’ll probably be a charity shop they go to. I think the on line selling is linked to my fear of all things technical SA. I just don’t think I’m quite ready to let go of them yet. I have been looking at dainty patent boots 😂😂😂 when the occasion arises I will find a solution to what I’ll wear on my feet…..😳😂😂 or I’ll do a Sandy Shaw and go barefoot 😳😳😂😂

The joys of our blooming feet

I know Beanie. I’d halved hoped they’d have been able to sort it with surgery but deep down I knew it was a long shot and I didn’t want another op. I’m guessing a fused ankle would have brought it’s own shoe problems 😵‍💫 Looks like they’re stopping the steroid injections too as the last one wore off quickly and they can do more harm than good 😏
Still testing positive - at least I feel ok now. Next phase of decluttering my bedroom this morning. Then I’m going to sit downstairs- it’s seems really big (it isn’t) but will be nice to spend a decent amount of time downstairs with Dh at work. He is banished to sleep in the spare room until I get a negative test 👍

Happy decluttering!
