  • This virus has knocked me off my feet, hoping the barking cough settles down soon . Sleeping upright is not for me but it's the only way to get any sleep at the minute. Anyway at least I am not out spending money and this week was pretty quiet on the Christmas front. Cancelled meal out for tonight until January and I think the one on Friday will be cancelled as well. 
    Have caught up on lots of tv yesterday , spoke to a few friends as well. Living on your own when you are feeling ill has it pluses , but would love someone to bring me a cup of tea . 
    No more moaning from me now, others have things a lot worse than an annoying cough.

    Aw a lot of bugs doing the rounds at the moment. Like you said plus side is no spending. Know how you feel about someone bringing you a cup of tea.

  • Well I'm still not 100% better but am getting there . I need to decide if I am going to work tomorrow or not but that will depend on how I sleep tonight . The best bit is I haven't spent anything apart from a food shop . I have been pottering round the place all week and have done some useful jobs , like tidying the freezer . All of my GKs and DD have also had this virus , the GKs are coming later today whilst mum gets things ready for the week ahead. Luckily my parents have been ok so far. 
    I am finished for Christmas buying as far as I am aware but will get all the presents put eventually to check. I have lost a few lbs in weight as have hardly eaten much but am sure to make up for it over Christmas.

  • Still not 100% but getting better . My DD has been extremely poorly and has been diagnosed with pneumonia so now has antibiotics which in truth she probably should have had a week ago . Fingers crossed she’s is in the mend very soon. 
    Today finds me him the big city meeting friends for breakfast . Then I’m going to have a saunter before it gets too busy . 
    Monday is my birthday so I am on leave and having a lunch out with other friends. 
    Money wise my pension has come in early but tucked away until the 20th normal payday. 
    Salary is normal day 18th . 
    Have been to school play again this week . Worn my pjs to school yesterday . 
    Next week is Carol service at church with school , light trail at RHS with DGD . 
    Money is all the ok and sorted thanks to the pots I have . 
    Mum and Dad are ok and have so far escaped any winter bug fingers crossed it lasts . 
    Anyway friends have arrived so best sign off .

  • I got my free lunch at a lovely restaurant. I received useful gifts and vouchers plus cash from parents which is going to buy a new mattress in the New Year .

    My DD had an RTA yesterday all ok apart from her car which was hit by a tentacled energy company van . His windscreen was all misted up and he couldn’t see . He has admitted full liability . To be fair to his employers DD has had a courtesy car delivered this morning whilst they sort out getting her car mended .

    Just been to Mr S this morning to pick some GF treats up for Xmas like a gf sausage rI’ll and a quiche . 
    This afternoon is the school Carol Service looking forward to that . 

    At home we are surrounded by scaffolding as we are having moss removed from the roof of our flat block . Also new gutters , there are 4 in the block that live here and we have all tried for years for this to happen . I decided to do a formal complaint in October and lo and behold it’s happening. Even the lovely Sycamore tree over my roof is getting trimmed , beyond happy .Hipefully no more slipping on moss or living under Niagra Falls from the gutters . 

    Think that’s it .

    Sorry to hear about DD's accident, thank goodness she's ok, I expect she's shaken by it though.

    How lovely to be going to a school carol concert, I miss those days with my two, unfortunately I don't live that close to the DGKs so have missed out in that respect. 

    Great news about the building works. 

    Glad you had a nice birthday 😊
