Before I nod off in a food / booze coma, here is our new thread!

We've had a lovely, chilled, day building Lego. I should probably eat more cheese to really finish the day in style though. 🧀🧀🧀

No snow here. Again! The sky looks heavy though.

Morning. Have hoovered the whole house and am just cooking off a casserole to put in the slow cooker. Also submitted my expenses as I forgot on Thursday, don't really want to wait another month for that!

Ds has been real for school for an hour.

Also hooray for February! No council tax and a short month so should be March before we know it.

Morning.

I'm in A&E after a funny turn this morning. Having tests at the moment. Hopefully nothing serious.

I'm tired and bored!

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 01/02/2021 10:12

Oh gosh fluffy hope you are ok!

WreckTangled · 01/02/2021 10:15

Oh no fluffy! Wondered why you hadn't been on to say good morning. Hope you're ok

NerosFiddle · 01/02/2021 10:30

I hope you're ok Fluffy

TheWoollybacksWife · 01/02/2021 10:36

Goodness Fluffy. Hope you are sorted soon and it's nothing serious

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 10:36

Still feel wonky. Not as wonky as I did though!

MarshmallowManiac · 01/02/2021 11:16

Morning everyone, rainy and miserable here but no snow, hope you all had a good weekend. Thank God January is over.

Hope you are feeling better Fluffy

Glad to hear you had a productive morning Wreck

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 11:58

I'm out now. No obvious cause, and bloods / Covid test fine. But to go to GP if the funny turns continue. I also have an eye appointment next week as he was worried because it's bloodshot after the drops last week.

MarshmallowManiac · 01/02/2021 12:52

Glad to hear that you are back out Fluffy.Maybe low blood pressure, I get that, almost collapsed in doc's office one day.

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 13:07

He mentioned a vagus syncope. I've no idea, I just know I went blind, had a sub-36° temp, was drowning in beaded sweat and felt sick.

Just feel out of sorts now. Like post-migraine.

He was worried it was linked to my eye (and I was concerned about sepsis if there was an eye infection!).

NerosFiddle · 01/02/2021 14:08

Could it have been due to your headache on Saturday?

Glad you're out. Take it easy.

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 14:13

I don't know. They were interested in the visual disturbance / headache last week.

Potentially it's all linked, if I'm generally under the weather, I suppose.

I've still got underlying nausea and a headache, so will just try to rest for the rest of the day.

I was awake for a couple of hours in the middle of the night, so that possibly didn't help.

MarshmallowManiac · 01/02/2021 14:49

I prescribe you an easy day free from all stress Fluffy Grin glad to hear that you are feeling a little better.

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 01/02/2021 15:57

fluffy i've PM'd you. x

Busy day - all this lovely winter sun highlights all the blinkin' dust! and all the glitter left over from Christmas 🤦🏻‍♀️

If it was June, it would be cracking the flags on the patio. There's not a cloud in the sky.😎
We've got daffs, crocus and snowdrops out now - with buds on the camelias, magnolia and azalea. Bit early for most, but it's nice to be in February.

TheWoollybacksWife · 01/02/2021 16:13

Puss I always hope that it's a dull, dry day if we have visitors remember them? as my window cleaning skills are somewhat lacking due to me being a shortarse with a dodgy shoulder 😂

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 16:29

I have to clean windows left-handed as my right shoulder clicks and feels weird. 🤮 I don't have the short arse issue though!

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 01/02/2021 16:30

Woolly Grin Yes, I'm the same, that's why I have a DH with long arms (like a bloody gibbon) who can dangle out with a soapy sponge and give them a quick going over 😇😂😂

CrazyBaubles · 01/02/2021 16:33

I'm another short arse with an aversion to cleaning windows so I leave them to DH.

Fluffy I'm glad you're out of A&E but sorry you're feeling so rubbish. Definitely rest and hydrate as best you can.

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 16:42

We have a man who does the outside windows. I just have to do inside. He does scare me when I'm at work and he whacks the window with his hose / sponge thingy. 😂

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 01/02/2021 16:48

Ooh, get you, a man who whacks the window with his hose! 😂😂

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 17:20

An upstairs window at that! 😱😂

PussyCatInChristmasStockings · 01/02/2021 17:24

bloody hell! That's impressive. 😎😂😂

NoWordForFluffy · 01/02/2021 17:31

I was in a Teams training session last time. I briefly lost my focus! 😳😂
