Cold and damp here today. Planning to spend the day in the Craft Room - a couple of fun commissions to work on and Christmas gifts to make. Have already prepped lunch and dinner - so just need to light the gas when the hunger pangs start.
Good morning all, feeling slightly better today, but have been up most of the night with out Cat Coco, she is not very well, I spoke to the Vets yesterday afternoon, they said to leave her for another 24 hrs, if no improvement then bring her in.
It looks like it will be a reasonably fine day today, although the forecast was for showers later
But I should have enough time this morning to do various errands in the town centre –
Library, bank, get a passport photograph for the review & renewal of my driving licence
This afternoon I’ll go to a large discount/bargain store and stock up on cans & packets of food ready for Christmas and the winter
A Working Man’s Club just off the town centre does breakfasts so I’ll call there first for a bacon butty & a cup of tea
Oh dear Tabbs you make me feel guilty I have just got up made a coffee and returned to bed with it .
Susie I hope your cat gets better today .
I have poor Mr M not well he has had a fever and sore throat for days now .
Tested negative for covid yesterday but won’t go to the health centre.
Zulu that bacon butty does sound tempting .( although I have not eaten pork for years ) as I love pigs .
Have to go into town this morning so will try to look for some Christmassy things whilst there.
@swimfeeders sorry to hear you have a bad reaction from your booster Swimmy, I had a bad one on the second day with mine. I hope you will feel better soon.
Good morning all, cooler here but still mild and dry so that’ll do for me thanks.
No plans yet other than cooking lasagne for lunch, but it’s out of the freezer from a batch I made a couple of weeks ago so only a microwave meal really…
I had my booster last week and was fine afterwards apart from an aching arm for a few hours, so I guess not everyone has a bad reaction?
Morning everybody! Dreich here this morning, so just pottering around the house today, and food shopping later if it clears up any. If not, then the freezer will be raided. Have a lovely day
Got the heating engineers coming today to quote for a new system boiler, water tank and water softer. Something tells me the quote will make my eyes water a bit but what can we do, the crappy Combi boiler keeps depressurising and making weird noises so it has to be replaced before the winter.
I live on my own
The town centre is a short bus ride or a long walk
I do most of my shopping at supermarkets or local shops, but about every couple of weeks I go into town to do a few errands, and I walk or catch a bus depending on the weather and how I feel
For a change from making my own breakfast I used to go to Wetherspoons, though I avoided having a pint of bitter at 09-30 in the morning
Then a few weeks ago I found out that Burnley Miners Club serves food during the day so I’ve been going there -
A bacon butty & mug of tea for £3-10, and it’s very good!
I have yet to try dinner
Morning everyone, it’s rather nice out there at the mo, dry and a bit sunny, and set to stay that way all day. Bedding’s in the washer!
Mr B and I had our booster jabs a couple of weeks ago, the Pfizer one, and neither of us had any reaction beyond a slightly sore arm. No headache, nausea, nothing. It was the same with our original two Astra Zeneca jabs. Our son had his booster (Moderna) on Friday and had a sore arm, and felt a little tired after but that was all. So take heart, all of you who are feeling a little nervous - you could well be absolutely fine afterwards.
It’s not our day for having our daughter’s dog today, nor do I have to pick her or granddaughter up from work/school. So I can freely immerse myself in my craft room, yay! (Cue Mr B saying ‘shall we go out somewhere as it’s a nice day?’ )
Had the Injections, two nice big puncture holes in my back, it was very painful, I was on the Couch for 40 mins with the procedure, with two Men and two Nurses looking at my bum, never again.
Still in a lot of pain, but is improving a bit, but to be honest if it only works for 2 weeks, then what is the point of going through all that pain and its not solving the actual problem, they are determined that they are not going to give me Surgery, but i’m going to keep on at them until they do.
