Oh Sunnyday, that did make me smile. I like my circular needles for socks but I’ve not really knitted anything else!
-
You read the news too?! I have just done an LFT. I’m ok - a little tight chested but that’s ‘normal for me at this time of year’. I never did have a temperature.
-
Seriously, I reckon you could have got away with that for a lot longer! 😉
-
Oh I absolutely love it!
-
Ah thank you both, that's reassuring in a way. I am resting too I promise but the school TDL doesn't go away and I am worried that I will start the term with a huge backlog if I don't get some things taken off it. I usually like to get it all done in one chunk at the start of the holiday so that I can properly switch off. I think I have pretty much resigned myself that isn't what will happen this year. I have had two deliveries of presents today and my mum is popping round to drop off some groceries later. Once that has happened I think I'll be able to switch off properly and fall asleep without worrying that I'm missing a knock at the door.

Hanging in there. Have been working this morning but am feeling rubbish again right now - all shivery. Does anyone know if that follows the pattern of others they know. I’m finding it really hard to explain to my parents that I see to be fine one minute then totally rubbish the next!
-
Phew! I like them to look at but they are absolutely not me to wear. I’m calling gingerbread and marmalade.
-
Sister in law’s cowl for Christmas is nearly finished too. I’m feeling quite productive!
-
Well, there is a pot of red lentil and tomato soup simmering in the kitchen, a loaf of bread rising by the fire (although not by much, it may be time for new yeast and I’ve just watched The Box of Delights. I feel pretty relaxed.
-
Thank you for asking everyone. I’m doing fine - same as before really, just tired and a bit achey. I’m just taking it easy, doing jobs when I’m awake and not moving too fast so I don’t get wheezy.
-
I know what you mean - being bored because I have to isolate is definitely not a problem!
-
I am - I specialise in falling asleep at the drop of a hat!
-
Well, I have a few Christmas presents that need finishing! Approximately 8 balls worth of unmade socks. My crochet Santa that I’ve been working on for a year, some embroidered gingerbread decorations, a felt gingerbread man garland and… (please can I have an extra month off work?). I’m ok - just a bit worn out and feeling a little fluey. I feel like something of a fraud at the moment to be honest!
-
Sounds lovely. I’ve also spoken to my sister who is making plans to deliver Christmas dinner!
-
Thank you. I'm tired and have a tight chest but it's also the end of term and I have mild asthma so I don't think I feel much different to normal!!
-
Well, my Friday is mixed. This morning I had my PCR results through confirming the positive LFT I did Wednesday. I have to isolate until Boxing Day. Because of that I’m feeling pretty sad. However, I have been overwhelmed by the offers of help from work and particularly touched because a colleague who lives in the same town as me but don’t work that closely with has just dropped some presents from school off and told me that she will be taking a walk past my house each day to check that I’m ok and that on Christmas Day she and her partner will be dropping off a bacon cob and some Bucks Fizz because they will not let me be on my own! People are good!
-
That is lovely! Congratulations to all!

As a year 1 teacher currently what I really need in pre-school is children who are brilliant in phase 1 'stuff'. There is no point in me teaching the many alternative spellings and pronunciations I have to if they can't actually discriminate sounds in words.
-
Thanks.
-
Apropos of nothing… does anyone else know if someone else can collect a click and collect order for you?
-
I so understand where you’re coming from!
-
When did you move into my house and where exactly are you hiding?!
-
Please can someone send me some spare energy? I have been awake since 4.30am but am so sleepy and I have loads left to do. Plus if anyone feels like feeding me that would be very welcome - I have no idea what to cook!
-
Hang in there everyone you can do it. I have one week left and am looking forward to finishing early before Christmas so that I can combine working on the school TDL and Christmas crafting before Christmas then relaxing after. A colleague I work closely with is almost certainly positive - hoping for PCR results back today which has me filled with dread in case I get contacted to isolate and it means I can’t do family Christmas. I know that’s borrowing trouble so I’m also trying not to think about it! This weekend is an epic TDL plus finishing Christmas presents for people at school - I’m making a combination of crochet robins, jars of homemade fudge, cheese biscuits and general goodies. I like to make sure that all the behind the scenes people (office, kitchen, site manager) know they’re appreciated but this year I’m also doing things for my team as they’ve had such a hard term. It’s going to be a busy weekend!
