Escape to the country & living off savings

Good to have options - nothing wrong with another days rest if you have concerns. 

Aquafit will have to manage without you - that did make me laugh.

have a good day today - so pleased to hear you are feeling better 🤗

Thanks SQS I did pop to aldee & get a few things. Felt exhausted after and slept most of the afternoon. Just taking it easy today. Bought a pizza I had been fancying and couldn’t taste it. Also bought a box of my favourite jaffa cakes and couldn’t taste them either! Pointless having any more if I can’t enjoy them. 

Meals for this week 
2 x spicy wings & roast butternut squash chips 
Roast chicken breast, swede & carrot mash &veg & gravy
4 x chicken sag masala with cauli and broccoli 
beef stew
beef in black bean sauce

Fingers crossed your sense of taste will return in the next few days.

Thanks Doris. 😊 still a bit snuffly and still cant taste anything. 

Today I will be taking it easy & reading now I am able to concentrate a bit better. Chicken curry in the slow cooker. Only 14 degrees indoors this morning. The heating has been on the last few days & this morning 

My friend wants to go to ‘spoons for lunch tomorrow. Niece is coming over with baby on Thursday. Not ready to go back to aquafit this week but will try and do some short walks

A bit warmer today at 16 degrees indoors. Friend picked me up and drove to nearby ‘spoons for lunch. She insisted on paying, £12 total. A southern fried chicken and salad wrap, chips & drink for me and tuna panini, chips & drink for her. 

I spent £3.25 in £ shop for pack of 3 body wash scrunchies, toothpaste and cotton buds. Also 3 bags curry noodles and dark choc in b n m £2.70. Had a cuppa at friends then I walked home. Was nice to get some fresh air and exercise despite the grey damp weather.

Pleased you're managing to get back out and about. Hope you enjoyed the baby cuddles today.
Nice free meal from your friend, although at £12 for the two of you it probably didn't matter much who paid 😉

How’s the taste buds?

Thanks Time2count, baby meet up has been postponed until tomorrow. I’ve been feeling exhausted and DF has cold & sore throat. He probably has covid. I’ve offered to get him anything he needs from the chemist or supermarket. He has a test but is choosing not to use it. So I haven’t met up with him since I tested positive. Hopefully he will just have mild symptoms. 

Day 12 since my positive test and I am feeling better but tired. Shower and hair wash this morning then needed to lie down. Sunny & warm 17.5 degrees. All windows open & one load of washing then dried on the line. Went to my friends for a cuppa this afternoon. Had another lie down after the walk back. Lamb Moroccan casserole in my slow cooker for tea. Still no taste SuzeQ  🙁 Had a cheese and mushroom omelette for breakfast & couldn’t taste that either.

Oh no I’m sorry to hear about DF 🤒😞 - you are coming out the other end now but are wise not to push things too hard till you are fully recovered.

Warm & sunny day 17.5 degrees again. Washed sofa throws & dried outside. Niece & baby visit postponed until next week. Speed mopped my downstairs laminate floors & windows all open. Wiped all surfaces with anti bac / anti Covid wipes. Spoke with DF on the phone & he says no fever just runny nose and sore throat. Offered to get him throat lozenge's & anything else he needs but he insists he doesn’t need anything. 

Walked to my friends house for cuppa & she had bought us both a cake 😋
