I haven’t seen our granddaughters for so long Starry. Could be October   I’ve still got all their Christmas stuff. Paul is going through courts to get some access as she’s blocked him from seeing them. 

Good afternoon ladies. I had my letter from the NHS this morning, I can book an appointment at a pharmacy or the main vaccination hub or I can wait to hear from my GP. Last time the GP only did the Pfizer one, and the pharmacy only did the Oxford one, so not sure what to do now. I don't really want to feel any worse than I do at the moment with this bloomin stomach problem, so would rather have the Pfizer one but obviously can't choose, and if I hang on for the GP to contact me they may not be doing the Pfizer/Moderna jabs either. They weren't very helpful when I rang the other week when needing to know if I should cancel my eye appointent at the hospital they just said they don't know if or when they're getting anymore vaccine, could be a week could be a month. I didn't ask which one as they obviously dont know at the moment. 

Someone said older people don't seem to get the same side effects of the Oxford one as younger people, but I'm not so sure, most people who told me they were really poorly were all older than me. 

Starry thanks for the info on your daughter and her ulcer. I have some pain today, but I suppose if it is an ulcer it will take a long time to heal, like your daughters, as I've had it for so long. But it's encouraging she was better in 6 months. 

We had some snow first thing, only a dusting, but its all gone now and we have rain and strong wind again. 

Stay safe everyone. 

Morning ladies. 

Diane, I'm going to hang on til I hear from my GP, I'd be grateful for any jab of course, but only prefer the Pfizer because the side effects are next to nothing whereas the Oxford ones are horrible in more people than than those that dont get any at all.  Living on my own it's quite an important thing to consider, especially not having any friends close by and no relatives. When you're totally on your own it changes almost everything in life that most people don't have to worry about unfortunately.

Glad to say it's just rain and strong wind today, and a balmy 11C here. 

Hope everyone's warm and safe and enjoying Sunday!

Good afternoon all, It's been dry, but bitterly cold with a strong wind. Sally has delivered my shopping and it's been sprayed. It will be put it away soon. Gordon did a smashing roast last night but the downside was the washing up. I did that this morning, Gordon does the wiping up. He's cooking the pizza tonight when he wakes up. I can barely move I had a bad night and when I did sleep I was in a bad position, so my back is in agony today. I've taken pain relief which has made me dopey, but barely touched my pain. Enjoy your evening.

Evening all, We've had a drizzly morning and a dry afternoon. I sorted out 3 trolleys of bits and found my sun/night driving glasses, they had somehow been under one of the seats and when Gordon emptied the car for the MOT he put everything in the trolley. Now if only I can find the second pair.  Diane, I'm so sorry that you're struggling at the moment. I do hope that you get some respite care very soon.
