Morning

A good nights sleep here my first after having my Covid/flu jabs on Monday.

Instead of cod liver oil I remember having 'Albert orange tablets' it was years later i found they were actually called Halibut oil tablets

Morning, on for a moan hope you don’t mind!
Treatment day yesterday. All good and felt good even managed to sleep too. Got up this morning feeling great bent down to take laundry out of washing machine and have done something to my back!! I’ve had a feeling off and on like sciatica recently so don’t know if it’s something to do with that.😡
Anyhoo not sure whether to rest up or move about.
Sorry for the moan…hope you all have a great day! x

Sorry to hear that Jay. If you can pinpoint the pain, maybe rest with an ice pack, or if it's a general ache, keep moving. Conflicting advice I know! Hope you feel better soon x

Yikes Jay….you don’t need this on top of everything else
I’m a hot water bottle fan. So easily done too.
I’ve used a scarf before now to hold a HWB in place which was tucked down the back of my trousers. I guess a belt might work to hold in place.
I’m sure my neighbours must think me a bit odd at times!
Hope it settles quickly x

Afternoon all.

I'd written out a long moan here after having the new boiler fitted yesterday. It did me good and put me in a better mood, so I deleted it - no need to share that. Suffice to say I had a terrible night's sleep because the boiler would not turn off, the house was at 25C all night. The company sent out another engineer today, and surprise, the boiler had been wired up to the thermostat incorrectly. So all fixed now and pleased it was an easy fix.

So having to be in both days, no grory hop yet, which means I'll have to go tomorrow on the busiest day Got my covid jab booked and my Mum's had hers, so the train's going in the right direction once more, and no tunnels in sight

Glad that is sorted MH…
The heat I would deffo enjoy…but not the electricity charges!!!

Tomorrow….either then or Monday…we need to get our Covid vaccinations done.
I think we need to have a gap between that and flu in that we’ve had …

[Jay22]

Thanks both. I’ve done some stretches and used alternate heat and cold. I’ve also taken some ibuprofen so although pain still there it has eased a bit.
I’ve got my Covid/flu vaccine on Sunday hoping for no side effects! 🤞
