Elite Thread XIV

Good morning all

Bright and sunny at the moment Just about to collect the bedding to be washed Dh will about most of the day as he has sore arm(s) from his jags yesterday so he can bring it it later

Shirley Well done to your DS and hope you get the insurance sorted soon

LJ wonderful news and I imagine so good to see a consultant in person

I will be on childcare today and will use the free time beforehand to visit Iceland and get any c/b items from Tesco No Tesco near home

Enjoy your day

Good morning all, sunny here, though it was rather foggy when I got up!

Had a massive rumble of thunder last night, people complaining about it on local FB, OH didn't notice though, probably thought it was his snoring

Thank you for the cuppa Sleazy

Shall probably hop on my bike today, assuming the weather agrees.

Hugs to all those that want or need them, I know how hard it can be sometimes and just having a place like this to go is invaluable.

grips with overload of info on solar panels.


when you have done this can you share your findings.......please

I don't have the headspace for it at the moment, it was was one of the things we were doing as part of our renovations , before DH was made redundant

Don't forget your free curry when you're at Iceland Mrs M!

Booked for tomorrow afternoon when I will be eligible even though I am not now if that makes sense

Flu jab on the 22nd.  I know I am risk averse in life but I can't see why anyone would not do something to reduce the risk of being unpleasantly ill.

hello all
Not been around much, in the same situation as a lot of people at the moment with a loved one. I try to do one day at a time as get overwhelmed if I think too much. Take care all.

Had booster the other day at GP's - the nurse said they are vaccinating anyone who has a gap of at least 6 months since last covid jab. It was a flu and covid walk in clinic. I had the flu jab week before as didn't fancy both together.

TM - I recently put a couple of items on Ebay and there's a 'promote listing' option, maybe that's why some items you have viewed have sold quicker. Iceland used to do a vegetable curry, but I haven't seen for quite a few months.

Afternoon everyone.
Hugs to all that need them.
The other day (about a week ago) someone posted about
a voucher for a pub chain that was something like £20 if you downloaded there app. I have looked back but can't find it if any body
could help I would be very grateful. I am taking my husband away to Woodbridge Suffolk for his 70th so being the cheapskate that I am this will help.
Many thanks.

Meant to mention yesterday, went to my favourite chestnut tree yesterday and got a batch of the biggest chestnuts I have ever seen. Now on to my least favourite job of the year, peeling them! If someone invented a chestnut peeler I would grab it with both hands.

No, chestnut stuffing , chestnut soup, roast chestnuts etc etc.

Oh sorry, thought you meant horse chestnuts!

Both OH and I are on day 4 of colds - OH is always ill to one extent or the other, very hard to tell but this is def my 1st proper cold for years - pre-Plague years anyway, it totally exhausted me earlier in the week but at least I have summoned up some energy today ...
Last week we had our Covid autumn boosters, day after jabs was awful feeling sick,feverish and lethargic. But then we bounced back on day 2 apart from arm pain - not sure what is the least worse option - the one day post-jab after effects or a week long cold ...
Then next week is flu jab.
I am taking the vitamins again to build up the immune system - never ever want to be ill ...

This morning we had the 1st proper thick fog which meant we were having to re-think if the planned day out could go ahead as neither the Mway or the backroads would be fun driving. In the meantime the electric went off and having convinced The Powers That Be that it was the entire street/area and not just us that was powerless they said it would be midday before we would get power back - 2nd time in a month this has happened.
So then we were not sure about going out but neither could we stay in ...
Planned day out got downgraded to a visit to Greggs for free 0002 hot chocolate and a cake, eaten on a damp bench and then Sainsburys for recycling and some cashback items and bonus points.

Back home, electric back on I tackled the receipt pile which has been festering on my desk for a very long time and needed refiling neatly in month order into the new larger black folder.This took an inordinate amount of time but the old concertina folder is in plastic waste, most of 2021 receipts and a disturbing amount of 2020 receipts have been consigned forever to the paper waste bin.
Order restored out of chaos.

Getting a bit worried. Everyone I know that has had 4th booster had a sore arm after. I never got anything. Hope they really did give me a jab lol.
After the flu jab (week before) I got a sore arm for a few days.

Thank you ver much Nellie

i had a sore arm for a couple of days after my covid booster but they did the flu one in the other and that didnt get sore at all, i just felt it when i moved iyswim. dd2 had a sore arm for a few days after her second one last weekend too. first jab i had nothing, didnt even feel it go in
