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. 🧀🧀🧀

Oh for window banging hoses

Dodgy shoulder(s) here too Woolly DH and DS help out because they're taller than me.

Morning. I've been awake since 5 🥱 Woke up as I was overheating - I was wrapped like a sausage roll in the duvet

Fluffy I hope you're feeling bette

Morning!

I think I am. But I was fine until I got up yesterday! Actually making it through getting vertical and ready will be the test. 🙈😂

Sainsbury's delivery today. And they have everything we want, which is unusual. I maximised my Nectar points again too. Obvs! 😁

Morning. I've put the clean washing away, put another load on, hoovered downstairs and dusted in the sitting room.

Fluffy hope you get through the day without feeling unwell.

Crazy plenty of coffee!

Morning.
Couldn't sleep as the rain was torrential and straight on our bedroom windows so was up at 1.30am. DH went back to bed around 3, I went back when he got up at 8.
fluffy hope you're ok being vertical. 🤞🏻

It's biblical, isn't it? I'm thinking of buying bog plants for the allotment!

I'm not sure about upright. I feel a bit sick. My manager said if I can't cope I can log off and be sick today too.

Morning.

A bit of a flurry of snow this morning but it's too wet for it lay.

I think my ds should be able to qualify as a palaeontologist. I can't read any more books on dinosaurs.

Hi everyone. My last official day at the office today. I have loads of presents, and someone bought me cake from the coffee van that comes round. I feel very spoilt.

Awww lovely why :)

Sorry to hear that you are still feeling a bit ropey fluffy but glad nothing sinister was found.

Work dropped round my personal belongings today so that is me done. Technically my last day is 22nd Feb but as I have a sick note until then I am not going to think about it :)

Looks like DS might be able to return to school on the 22nd too, just waiting for the announcement on Friday.

Working on the cross stitch from my subscription box today.

Also £5 in nectar points from today's shop so very happy with that.

That's lovely, why. Nice to have good colleagues.

Most, that pattern looks really nice from what I can see. Do you display all of your work?

I got £4.55 in points. The bonus offers are good at the moment.

I feel very wonky all of a sudden. MiL has sent a blood pressure monitor. I'll have a check to see what's happening!

Oh gosh fluffy! If it carries on give your GP a call.

I am displaying the subscription box stuff as the box comes with the frames etc to display it so very easy. I need to get frames for all my non subscription box ones though!

My BP is apparently 'pre-high', so in between normal and high. God knows what's going on. Feel sick though. 🤢🤢

fluffy keep a diary of what you're doing and what you eat/drink. It might help when you get to see a doc. It could be a nasty virus, there are other things still floating around even with all the masks/hand washing/SD etc.
most that's v pretty, and I'm glad that weight has lifted from your shoulders.
why mmmmm, When do you start the new job, do you get a little break or are you straight in?

Also, Katherine Fletcher (MP for Ribble) still has her fairy lights up (and on)

fluffy get in touch with your GP and get an appointment.

It was this high yesterday and they said it was fine. Which is odd, given it is causing problems. Almost like they wanted rid of me!

Afternoon everyone. Rained in the night, but nice and dry now. Quite busy as trying to do a course for school while marking the kid's work.

Love your cross stitch Most

Hope you get a good night's sleep tonight Crazy

My DS loved books on dinosaurs growing up and also loved books on robots, maybe just for your sanity find him some other ones on something else he likes. Good luck Neros Also glad to hear your chapter at work is closing, sure another great one is about to begin.

Glad you are having a lovely last day Why

Quite a few people around here still have their lights up Stockings does cheer me up on my walks though.

Sorry to hear that you are not feeling so well Fluffy hope it improves soon.

I've been to the GP and am officially a medical mystery! She's arranging a 24 hour BP monitor and told me to rest for the next few days.

Haha Fluffy my GP calls me an enigma.

Good. Now you just have to do as you're told 🤔😉

Last-but-one time DH was in hosp, the bloke in the next bed was having an enigma...at least that's what he told DH

hi all,

Need to catch up on the thread!

@Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear your cross stitch is beautiful 😍

@whydoesitalwayshappentome Hope you had a lovely day

@NoWordForFluffy I hope you are feeling okay

Very busy here. DD is 5 in a couple of weeks. She would like "a real alive unicorn"

lachy good luck with your shopping.😂😂😂🦄

lachy I really think there could be one or two teensy issues with getting a live unicorn 🦄 but surely Amazon must have one, they have everything else.

Morning!

I actually do feel like I'm coming down with something today. Maybe all of this has been a dramatic precursor to being a bit unwell?! 🙈🙈

Lachy, good luck with the unicorn! 🦄

I don't feel as wobbly today. Which is a win.

Good luck lachy DS is 5 tomorrow and thankfully didn't list any mythical creatures :)

Morning.
I've had some excitement already today.
I had to get jump started by GreenFlag in Tescos car park. 🤦🏻‍♀️🙄
No sign at all that the battery was going, no dull lights, no sluggish starting, nothing. Just parked up, shopped, loaded car, turn key and deathly silence.🙄
Luckily it was v early and they were with me in about 10mins.
I've arranged a replacement to be fitted tomorrow.

fluffy glad you don't feel as wobbly.
