😆 small mercies! Have you tried some flat coke?

shouldistop · 03/09/2021 14:44

I'll ask dh to buy some. Does it have to be full fat?

titsintiers · 03/09/2021 14:49

I think so, I think the sugar content helps. But it's just something my Dad told me to do and that has usually worked for me. Absolutely no science behind it.

Have you been taking rehydration solution @shouldistop? And avoiding dairy, I was advised by a doctor before.

shouldistop · 03/09/2021 15:15

@WouldBeGood I haven't been, I can't stand the taste of it. I probably should just fire one down though.
Meant to be going for a spa day tomorrow morning, really hope I'm ok for it. Been looking forward to it.

shouldistop · 03/09/2021 15:16

Will try the coke, I think I've heard that before too.

Hope you feel better soon @shouldistop. My colleague fell ill last Friday with norovirus and has only felt well enough to do anything today 😢

I'm so cold. Mr G reckons I'm about to get ill.

Hope you feel better soon @shouldistop flat coke definitely helps settle stomachs!

I think everything is hitting a lot harder as less exposure in the last 18 months we are just getting over toddler cold over 10 days later its been a rotten one!

Flat lemonade is also fine. DCs recovery was always flat lemonade (if you add a small bit of water that usually decarbonates it more quickly) and ready salted crisps.

Thanks everyone for the advice. Think I will see if I can source a lanyard, at least if I have one then I have the option to use it if I’m in a situation where I would need to wear one for longer than 10mins.

@shouldistop i hope you are feeling a little better and make it to your spa day tomorrow

shouldistop · 03/09/2021 21:12

I've gone to bed with a dehydration headache I'm also hungry but really think I should keep my stomach empty until tomorrow lunchtime maybe, except water and my essential morning cup of tea.

ElephantOfRisk · 03/09/2021 21:26

I'd maybe have a slice of dry toast or some plain crisps @shouldistop. Sometimes being too empty and hungry isn't good either. Have you tried having a probiotic? Maybe better saving that for when you've been able to keep something plain down (or in?)

It's rubbish isn't it? I actually met a couple of friends for dinner a couple of days ago and we turned up exactly on time but staff were busy and we had to stand and wait a while to be seated. Not normally an issue but, well, masks....

It probably wasn't that long and friends were chatting to me, but I hadn't really psyched myself up as thought it would be the usual 30 seconds from door to table, I was just getting more and more agitated but luckily managed to keep a lid on it until we were seated and I could take it off.

Haudyourwheesht · 03/09/2021 22:19

I don't think most people even notice when you're not wearing a mask. I forgot mine last week and had go to the supermarket to buy one. No one appeared to bat an eyelid at me walking in then wandering the aisles, maskless.

ElephantOfRisk · 03/09/2021 22:22

Unfortunately in my area people seem to be mega compliant and it's rare to see anyone without one. Even outside there are people wearing them.

Lockdownbear · 03/09/2021 23:09

I really don't get why people wear them outside.

However Runningpink get yourself a lanyard and start living again, just had a look for you cheaper on ebay than amazon but watch out some are posted from China.

listentomydeclaration · 04/09/2021 08:17

The sunflower lanyard website is what you are looking for

IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 · 04/09/2021 09:57

Does anyone know the number to chase test results? I have tried Googling but no luck. We are sitting at 60 hours here

Groovee · 04/09/2021 10:07

@IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 do you still have the form they gave you at the test? It's on there.

Lockdownbear · 04/09/2021 10:07

Is it not on the card you got at the test center?

60 hours waiting is ridiculous. I can see that putting the 'just to be sure' people of testing. Especially if money is involved ie costing 3 days of work. I already think people are put of testing for one day off work.

IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 · 04/09/2021 10:14

No no card given it was a walk through site. Tried 119 sat for a bit done the round about and then they hung up on me 🤬 partner is def employed so this has huge implications for us. How can they ask you to stay in and not hold up their end? 60 hours is a joke.

Groovee · 04/09/2021 10:25

Could you call 119 and ask there? I've tried googling but not finding it. It was 0300 number x

IsurviveonCoffeeandWinein2021 · 04/09/2021 10:55

So I did. The rest hadn't even been registered 🤬 got his negative results while I was still on the phone waiting to complain. So that's 5 days of work missed and 5 days not seeking medical fucking attention because he is clearly unwell. I'm thinking a chest infection which probably needs a steroid or antibiotic.

What an absolute shit show. Oh and they also cut me off while I waiting to speak to a supervisor to complain. So while we are not allowed to earn a living we are paying people to be fucking incompetent!

Now on hold to 111 because he needs to see a bloody doctor. As I'm sure is clear I am absolutely raging!
