Was having a lovely sleep and got woken up by :scam call.  Talk about rude awakening.  I wish they would just leave us all alone!  

Can be hugely annoying have you tried reporting them to action fraud? Sometimes though if they're a foreign thing then there's limited amount of things they can do, but if say going off virtual phone numbers in a sense something like Skype they'll collab with the US agencies and get them closed down making their work of telephoning people that bit more difficult its what I do

Yeah had my vaccine on Friday since I'm relatively high risk I think of getting it and suffering horrible things from it, but I'm thinking due to the what I'd say are quite severe side effects (though not dangerous ones, felt at least a fever, aching and feeling quite light headed usual for me, but nothing like when my J Pouch got infected in hospital was physically shaking like as if there'd opened every window was freezing cold, as my temp got to 39c when I was recovering from the operation would have been around Christmas Day in 2016 I think) if this is how just the vaccine feels cant imagine the actual virus, doesn't bear thinking about to be quite honest

@jsmith8899 I agree about vaccine and getting covid, vaccine does make many people tired for a short while. It effects everyone differently.
@lisathomas50 enjoy your walk and it's cold here got heating on

Morning all! How's everyone doing today?  I've had a nice chilled morning and my bloke got me some daffodils to brighten up my desk which I thought was lovely

Just to add about @janer1967 's suggesting the use of PM's, of course that's one option if you have made close friends on the community and want lengthy chats.  The team equally wish we had a function for turning off notifications as they soon mount up, but if you just want to say morning and have a little catch up that's fine too.  I think this is a sweet thread for checking-in on each other, particularly over lockdown.

What's everyone's plans for today? 

janer1967

@lisathomas50 I never suggested it was all the time or that all chat should be done by pm.

Just as @Cher_Scope suggested above if it is a lengthy chat just between 2 members then pm is more appropriate in my opinion 

But I know you dont agree with any suggestions I make so will just leave it at that 

Ad i said was only a suggestion but taken in wrong context yet again

Hi @Cher_Scope

That’s really nice to get some flowers

Before 12pm I already walked the dog and had a short appointment with the doctor to check up on how I am doing. It went well not sure what to do with the rest of the day now...

janer1967

@Cher_Scope wish I got flowers my bf doesnt believe in giving flowers he treats me to things like food steamer and step ladders not very romantic but appreciated 

Had busy morning sorting earning   prepared roast dinner   rang mum 

Now time to chill b4 chicken needs to go in oven 

Lisatho11987777

@janer1967 that's fine looking at it there was a gap where no one else was in the conversation  I was doing things and was just answering  so I apologise 

It's been like that on a few other threads  later on in the evening  I think people just drop off  the conversation

My mother, on behalf of my then small children once got me one of those old fashioned heavy iron mop buckets for mothers day and told everyone how pleased I was with it and had always wanted one....said no one ever, including me!

@66Mustang Ooft get you!  I haven't left the house yet    Are you reading any books or watching TV programmes that you could lose yourself in for a bit?

@janer1967 Step ladders. ha.  I suppose they are practical, bless him!  I've trained my other half well, or possible wore him down after 11 years together   Sounds like a lovely afternoon you have planned.  

janer1967

@Cress that's a good one 

Think I might start a thread about most unwanted gifts lol.

janer1967

@Cher_Scope the step ladders are practical but not for someone like me who only has 1 leg can hardly hop up them . Suppose they come in handy so he can get in the loft . If only I could get up to close the hatch while he is up there  

Cher_Alumni

@janer1967 Doh  I never thought of that! Eeeeh, well he tried...  Reminds me of the time my mum's OH got her a lampshade for Christmas.  He wrapped it and everything... a plain white lampshade.  He must have done a mad dash around Wilko's (or any other reputable household shop) at 4pm on Christmas eve, ha.

Lisatho11987777

@janer1967 I think an unwanted gift thread would be good I think thete would be a few things lol ? you should start one 

Sandy_123

Afternoon, I'm not having best days heath wise today, really tired and cold etc, made me smile tho reading some of the comments, lampshades and ladders and mop buckets as gifts,  what were these men thinking? What happened to the lady loves milk tray?
