The drains have been making funny noises for a couple of weeks. During Lockdown last year, they made the same noise and so I suggested to my OH to lift the drain in the drive to see if it was full like it was last year. He said that he was sure it was fine. Tonight, he decided to have a look and it was full like nearly overflowing. So my OH swears and then gets out the drain rods, as last year, the drain rods aren't quite long enough so he has had to phone a mate down the road to see if he can borrow his drain rods. My OH has had a go at me for suggesting he look at the drain in the drive a few days ago when he couldn't be bothered! If he had done as I suggested, he wouldn't be having to unblock the drain in the dark! He said last year that he would buy more drain rods but didn't. He really should have done. That would have saved him a two mile walk tonight. He can't drive it as he has a few bottles.

I am in a whatsapp group with my husband, mother in law, father in law, sister in law, brother in law and niece. They all text last night to wish HIM a happy new year. May be I am being over sensitive but I am feeling hurt that my name wasn't mentioned :(

Happy New Year to you Claire W!

Not very nice at all.

Happy new year to you! And your piggies ♥️
 
Also, speaking of ironing, it's great it's at full temp in under a minute, but waiting for it to calm down is like watching a kettle boil. I knew I should've stuck with fat quarters :td:

Cool down, not calm. Although both are accurate really.

Well 2 and a half hours later :yikes:we no longer have blocked drains. :yahoo: OH is now in the bath. De shi**ing himself! He completely stank. The drainrods broke and he had his whole arm in shi**y water. He did get a bit of sympathy from me (I ran his bath) but not much as he should have listened to me when the drains started to make a funny noise!

@Betsy it's all your fault, you should have given him drain rods for Christmas.

You’re not being over sensitive, they excluded you and that is very upsetting. Happy new year ❤️
 
I accidently unistalled the gboard keyboard from my phone and I'm left with the Microsoft SwiftKey keyboard which is very annoying. I reinstalled the gboard but can't open it. The app in the Play Store only gives me the option to uninstall it and not open it. When the app is installing the open button is there but once it has installed the button disappears. The app does not appear on my home screen either. I have checked and its definitely installed on my phone but I just can't launch it. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled the app, turned my phone off and on but nothing changes. Any ideas?

Haha Karma. He’s cross with himself for not doing when he knew he should. 😆

It should be illegal for new creases to appear when ironing.

I refuse to iron our bedding so I joke to my husband that it takes me ages to iron all these creases onto the duvet. 😁.

It didn’t used to matter as we used to cover it with a blanket so our dog could sleep with us. But now Eddie 🐶 is over the bridge we don’t need that cover anymore so can see how awful the bed really looks. Urgh I might have to start ironing it. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Oh no. I’m really sorry. Hope you are not too ill with it. When did you lay have it?

Thank you. Last time was the start of September. I’ve had an itch in my throat I can’t shift, causing me to cough! The older two tested negative this morning and have gone back to school. I’ll test the youngest as well for the next 7 days.
 
Claire W said:
I’m sorry to hear that :( My husband has gone back to work today and I’m stressing about him catching it again. I hope symptoms remain mild and that you feel better soon x

I work in a school kitchen. I feel sorry for school workers. This variant is everywhere. Before December I didn’t actually know anyone who had covid. Now I know 5 families that have all got it in the last two weeks. How schools are going to keep this at bay I have no idea ☹️
 
Claire W said:
I had the mother of funny turns / seizure yesterday that had me in bed all day. Really fed up of them :(

It must be so hard knowing there’s not much you can do about them and you have to wait ages before you can get in to see the specialist. Take care Claire. ❤️

It is such a worry. Staff and kids are to wear masks again around the school and in the classroom but as we know, masks only limit the spread :(
 
Hopefully your husband will be okay and not catch it again anytime soon. I’ll be back in Monday so I’m grateful that this was a short week.

What worries me is the nose sample tests that I’ve been doing don’t seem accurate at all! And my parents have been staying here as well. Hopefully they’ve dodged it, though where they usually stay has also been overrun with covid!
 
My sister just text me. 5 staff and 2 residents tested positive to covid today at the care home where she works!

Fingers crossed your parents have escaped it
 
Being dragged into work early (meaning I have to be at the stables early in the dark and cold), for a meeting (that is scheduled outside of work hours), to only be in the meeting for ten mins to be told "that we no longer need this meeting as government restrictions haven't changed". and now sat here again in a freezing cold office with no heating..........

But it's all good! 🥶
