seaspirit44 sorry just caught up ! So sorry to hear Covid still around in your family it's such a worry .
Fingers crossed no complications and recover quickly that was the scenario with my family members one age 60 and other 25 . So like you say feeling rubbish but at home . Both now back at work in hospital although because my sister in the 60 or over bracket she is now not allowed to work on red wards .
My Daughter halfway thru self isolation one of the primary children was sent into school with symptoms...tested positive now two classes several teachers and TA s self isolating .
One more xmas job ticked off list ,sweetie hampers for grandchildren ..have done these for more years than care to remember .Now they all grown up ( youngest 20yr ) but still want them

Just spent a half hour weeding and cutting back in the garden, it’s so good to be able to get outside even just for a short time, even while the garden is ‘going to sleep’ in late autumn.
Hugs xxx

You are so organised @ Northener and they look great.I'm sure they will be much appreciated. xx
Wow Northerner, these are lovely. Such a fantastic idea and ...... you've done this so early.
I can only dream on becoming organised - that is the truest word 'dream' as I seem to be sleeping all the time just lately. Starting to wonder if there are any conditions that make you want to sleep 'all' the time and never wake up feeling refreshed.
Sending love to all our lovely Fruit Loops and big hugs to Lucky Pants - hoping he's keeping well xxxx
Hi Grogg, sorry you got woke after finally getting to sleep. I suffer a type of OCD .... I've not had it diagnosed and I don't want it to become any stronger than it is (mind you with the state of the house the cleaning and tidying one might be good). Just wanted to try and put it in your daughters perspective on the 'so rude' ..... I wonder could it be.... 'because her mind is focused on the item she needs, she goes into a panic and the last thing she is thinking of is been kind - I know its wrong, but, in your daughters head the items she is looking for is causing the 'bad thing that can happen whilst she is looking for it is getting closer and closer' hence the need for getting it done 'now' and then can relax. (its all so messed up and irrational - and the worse part, for me anyway, I know its silly - but, I can't afford to take the risk and not do it the way that is comfortable for me).
This post possible won't make any sense, but, well, it sort of does to me.... in other words 'your daughter doesn't mean it, she just needs to get the right bottle - now.... before anything bad happens' so to say.
I'll get me coat xxxxx
NorthernerI love your little sweetie badkets!
and,WhatHappened...don’tvapologise,I perfectly understand what you are sayingxx
Thank you fruit loops for your support as always. Granddaughter a bit improved, less breathless, and comforted by new dog, Australian shepherd, bringing her squeaky toys.
Lacomtekp, sorry to hear your neuropathy is creeping up. There must be some other cause, have they any idea what?
Getting DH sorted fir his gastro on Monday. Railway friends are transporting him, didn’t want him to go in a taxi in present circumstances. All being well I should be able to drive after my cataract op on Dec 5th. Spent most of the afternoon. Filling out forms fir that. I now have printouts fir medical history, meds and allergies. Too much to fit in!
Love to all, and stay safe xxx,
Onwards and flatwards (don't do hills) and keep walking if you can!
