Geegeenumber1

I've had a lovely spicy pasta salad from lidl with feta and sun dried tomatoes so il probably skip dinner or just have some soup

I love lidl it's a haven 

Lovely to be able to shop for self again

Where does everyone else like to shop

JanetMor

I shop at Tesco although I use click and collect as I'm terrified of Covid

Geegeenumber1

Hi @JanetMor nice to meet you. I get shops from tesco sometimes I like it but I struggle without them putting stuff in bags anymore so prefer Iceland and ocado for that

Yeah damned covid so many ppl I know got it

JanetMor

nice to meet you too geegee. I think covid would be the death of me somehow if I caught it as there are so many things wrong with me and I am 71. Your pasta salad sounds lovely.

Geegeenumber1

Yes was nice gave half to mum who turned her nose up as usual. It wasn't egg and chips or something similar so she dont like it lol

Ah you look very youthful 

Does the fear of covid really restrict you then 

I must say I don't think of it much until ppl say they got it 

JanetMor

Thank you for the complement. I am restricted anyway because I can't walk and I won't go out on my scooter on my own as I have been pestered by an aggressive beggar and its really knocked my confidence. My husband still works so I will wait until he has a day off and if the weather is ok we will go out, always in the open air though. We are off to Dorset on Saturday for a week so I am looking forward to that.

awww ive had two years being housebound not being able to walk but got a mobility car after a year wait and have been much more active but still very painful. i hope you have a wonderful time in Dorset, im not sure if ive been there as a child but hear its lovely. lets hope the weather stays nice

Ive got a brand new scooter but never used it! I feel bit nervous -its such a waste . I am trying hard to walk more even though it hurts because for 2 years ive barely left my bed . I want knee surgery but trying to lose weight etc first

Sorry to hear about your ordeal. 

I think i would be nervous going out on scooter alone and being harassed or even it breaking down or whatever, its good you have your husband for support x

i hope we will see you around this part of the forum more!

JanetMor

Oh dear, sorry to hear about your pain. I tried to walk a few weeks ago, it made me feel bad for days. In the end I had to sit down while husband fetched the car, it was so depressing. Is there anyone who can walk beside you while you go out on your scooter? It is difficult to lose weight when we are not very mobile. I wish you all the best in your recovery, geegee, keep strong x

Geegeenumber1

Thanks very much. Yes go everywhere with mum but moving into place soon where will be more independent might have to get help from carer etc
Yes weight all came on with being unable to exercise

Aww hi Tilly. Thanks for sharing a photo of Tilly with us @JanetMor. How are you both today? I hope you are both well but if you need anything, we are here for you
