Evening all Not been feeling too good today been coughing a lot and am very snuffly. I think it's my allergies but must admit I'm a bit concerned as my lungs can't expand very much at all.  A friend of mine from another site has been admitted to hospital in London with breathing problems. Worrying times for us all.
 

Good Morning all. feeling a bit brighter this morning. I used my spray last night and although it doesn't do much it was a help last night.  It's bitterly cold here and the heating came on last night.  The lovely Sally did my shopping for me at ASDA yesterday. They only let a few people in and were observing strict spacing. The shelves were full. She got everything except some toffees that I fancied.  It's nice to have a treat now and then but don't need then.  Finding it hard to motivate myself today, but needs must. Have a good day all and stay safe.

Good morning everyone and PINCH PUNCH FIRST OF THE MONTH

Its bright here but the wind still feels chilly.

I've got my online shopping delivery from Sainsburys arriving this afternoon. I don't feel its a proper shop, like walking round and seeing things in a particular order in my regular shop. I know all will be well with the world when I can do that again and grab a 24 pack of toilet rolls Cushelle from Lidl!!

​You'll be looking forward to the baby's arrival Starry ... as long as you can have a cuddle. 

I had an Asda shop delivery for tomorrow Hazel. But every time I went in to add something they had taken off loads until it was virtually empty basket. They took off all the basic ages ago ... milk etc. I couldn't believe they would empty my basket when they should have had fresh supplies in. In the end I cancelled the order and stuck with Sainsburys
 

Good morning ladies

Diane I found with Asda it's best to get everything you can think of on the order, and put several of the same thing but different brands to get around the 3 items only rule plus if one brand is out of stock you can still get the other, and finally once everything is on your order and you check out LEAVE IT don't go back to add anything cos its when you do that they take stuff off. If you remember anything you forgot to put on, pick another delivery date and bung it on there. And to save that second date sling anything in the basket that comes to £40 then nearer the date for that delivery do your normal shop and remove all the stuff you slung in there to hold the delivery slot. 

Gotta get wise to how they work and then you can get around their rules. Now though they're only putting 3 days up at a time, and you can't book any dates after that, so thats a bit of a bummer. 

I wish I hadn't cancelled that ultrasound last month, cos now it's playing up again and I don't really want to go anywhere near a hospital right now. Although I suppose now would be better than later as the number of cases seem to be going up very fast, when I last looked Cornwall had about 150 but I expect it's more now. 

I'm only watching the news once a day, and sometimes not even that often, as it's too depressing and easy to slide into a panic or anxiety attack. If anything urgent happens one or two of my twitter friends will let me know. 

My blackcurrant bushes, jostaberries and tayberry arrived yesterday at 7pm. The blackcurrant bushes are huge!!! They're also bare rooted so will have to plant those today.  My potatoes that I'm chitting outside in a frost free area haven't sprouted shoots yet. Maybe it's still a bit cold for them. The ones indoors I'm supposed to be eating have got sprouts coming, so maybe I should use those too LOL

 

Good afternoon all. Had a phone call from my 90-year-old neighbour to let me know that everyone is going to be at their front door banging on saucepans with a wooden spoon supporting our medics at 8 pm we will both be there. just outside the door.  We have three in the close.  Bless her she offered to get me any shopping that we need. She used to be a nurse on a chest ward and suggested some exercises that I could do to improve my breathing. I sat on the loo and did them and like magic, there was a slight improvement. I've been doing it all morning I can now take a deeper breath and am now able to hold my breath for a while. The only downside is that my sternum is painful as I expand my chest muscles. No doubt it will get used to it. Hope everyone is well. My friend who is still in hospital has left ICU and is now on an ordinary ward. She only needs oxygen when she tries to walk. Each day she is getting stronger and is looking to be released soon.  Take care all and stay safe.
