Hope to see you all here soon.

So nice to see the key workers getting thanked. Lovely pictures and looking forward to the next set. 🙂

Hope work isn't too bad SoMuch.

How fantastic @SoMuchToBits! What a lovely evening hing for Norman to arrange. (Hope you’re ok.)

Thank you all! I'm ok, but working the next couple of days and know it will be very busy.

Trying to keep cheerful, and the Playmo helps, but work is tough.

Happy Christmas, hope work isn't too stressful.

Ooh meant to post image.

Ooh, lovely!

Hope you have a lovely Christmas @SoMuchToBits and everyone else

Thank you! I unexpectedly came home from work early today, as I managed to injure my knee. Although actually work wasn't quite so ridiculously busy today. It looks like I will have to take tomorrow off as well, and will then have to see what happens.

Oh no! Poor knee!
(Lucky Playmo people, they don’t even HAVE knees!)

Luckily it looks like a soft tissue injury (they sent me to A & E to get checked out). I just have to rest it for a day or two and take painkillers. They also gave me a pair of glamorous crutches! Hopefully the swelling will go down in a day or two and I'll be ok again.

Gosh Bits look after yourself.

Oh no! How did you manage to do that? I think you should medicate with a nice glass or two or wine.

petalpower , just left the house to walk to work this morning, when got distracted by some lights, caught my foot on the pavement and fell over, landing on hands and knees. Thought I had just scraped them a bit, so continued to work. But by about 11 my knee was hurting and had started to swell. By lunchtime it was getting hard to walk, so had to go home (via A & E). I've had painkillers so it's feeling a bit better though still sore.

I hope DS came and picked you up from work.

Yes he did! I couldn't have walked home, even with the crutches, and the bus would have been a struggle. But I phoned him and he came and picked me up.

Thank goodness he was home. Hope you’re not going into work tomorrow. Stay at home and rest your knee.

Not going to work tomorrow. The A & E doctor said I should stay off tomorrow and then review.

Oh, what a nasty accident. Take care SoMuch - hope you are not too sore tomorrow.

Thank you! It already seems to be quite a bit better today, although still slightly sore and swollen. I'll have a quiet day today I think!

That’s rubbish SoMuch, hope it gets better quickly.

It's more of a nuisance than anything! And I feel bad about having to be off work when I know they are busy.

Oh poor you @SoMuchToBits I hope it heals swiftly and you feel better. (It's horrible falling over once you're past the age of oooh, seven ) it is a shock though, hope you feel better and have a lovely Christmas, also that Playmoland have a lovely one too.

Thank you for all your efforts this year, one of my strongest memories from the first (hot) lockdown is looking at your thread first thing!

Ah thank you! Just trying to keep it rested today (a bit of a challenge as I'm a bit bad at just sitting down!)

Oh poor you, SoMuch, I am sorry you have a sore knee. Hope it's better soon, but don't rush back to work before you should.

Thank you bridget! I spoke to my boss this afternoon, who agreed I should take tomorrow and Wednesday off (tomorrow was a day off anyway, but I would have been working Wednesday). I then have Thursday off, so hopefully will be fit by then for work on Christmas Day. She would rather I take enough time and get better rather than rush back and then go off sick again.

Meanwhile, I have been taking it easy today and taking Ibuprofen for pain relief and to ease the inflammation.
