How exciting!! Let’s hope you don’t have to wait too long to be able to see them and give them a cuddle Michelle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lincslady Posted February 10, 2021 #15479 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Josy - that is lovely news. I am thankful for the internet at present, as I am sure you will be, in that we can see photos of how the little ones are progressing online - even short videos and facetime calls. We have a great granddaughter, now 3 months old, who was, like Springsteen, 'Born in the USA' , so there is no chance of any of us seeing her for quite some time. A marvellous change from the 'olden days', when you got photos in the snailmail. And a huge boost to morale at present. Some of my friends genuinely like having one sent to them occasionally, just to see the innocent little face, with perfect skin - cheers you up no end. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just have to get unblinded on the vaccine trial now so that I can book my vaccination if necessary. I just wish that they had sent David's first. I am 67 so they are obviously starting to vaccinate under 70 s in Stoke. Such good news for you. It is just a pity that you will have to unblind yourself from the trials but I will do the same when I get the call. Shouldn’t be too long now because I will be 65 on Feb 26 so probably due to jump up a level on that day 😊. To an untrained layman like me, I would have thought it would be useful research to keep you on the trial if you had the Novavax vaccine to monitor your immunity levels when you have had one of the other vaccines as well, to compare levels with those who will have the Novavax vaccine when it is available to all. There is probably a good and obvious reason why they don’t do this. 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Peterson Posted February 10, 2021 #15491 Share Posted February 10, 2021 Changing the subject slightly, has anyone noticed an unusual jump in car insurance premiums lately? Mine came through this morning and they’re up by just over 20% (LV) for no obvious reason. Obviously, I’ll check around and negotiate, but just wondered if this is a typical increase? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven't had the car insurance yet, but I have noticed fuel is sneaking up, must be speculators pushing it up as it can't be people actually using more at the moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is not much of a depression, honest, just initial signs that I recognized from the last time which thankfully was quite some time ago and even then never became really dangerous. The snow has stopped and the sun is shining and the kids are screaming and shouting as they sledge down the slope outside and I had a good long talk with my neighbour. I was thinking where would we be without the internet and forums like this. I will bounce back soon enough. You did the right thing to express your feelings on here Dave and I for one was heartened reading all the lovely responses so in a roundabout way you've done me a good favour. Thanks & all the best.

Decide whether to do Med one & a half times & head off round the world through Suez or to go once round the Med & then go transatlantic - etc etc etc I think it might need a bit of refereeing Just an idea. Love it if you fancy organising. If not - no matter. Good luck Love it and would have picked this up but now I'm back working...talking of which I must stop reading this thread and get on! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
