I'd go back into the garage if I were you Adam!

Made my usual Sunday afternoon trip to Morrisons to stock up on fresh stuff for lunches this week and could not believe how many people were in there compared to usual. The queues at the checkout were stupid, even the self-scan baskets one where I went. We have enough bog roll and pasta for a couple of weeks so kept well clear of those aisles, thankfully.

The amount of eejits who think you'll sell it for half the cost of a new one is ridiculous. To the point i added in the description that no lowball offers would be entertained.
If you want cheap luggage, go look and bid on cheap luggage! If you want quality luggage understand there's a price attached to it.

Think you are probably being a bit optimistic at £160, but having sold a few almost new accessories off bikes a year or so ago I don't understand why some people think parts a few months old should be half the new price.
(having said that I did let some go at half price to obvious enthusiasts)

Daughter #2's blindness hasn't improved. Add to that she is struggling to walk because of numbness in her right leg. She's struggling to pick things up because of numbness with her right arm. And she is now having problems with bladder control. Her friend, who called round last Friday, has tested positive for Covid. Daughter is now self-isolating, not that she was going out anyway.

Daughter #1 is due to give birth in 2 weeks time but has been diagnosed with fibroids, and is now scheduled for a C-section.

Daughter #3 is a primary school teacher, and is due to give birth just after Christmas. One of her pupils has tested positive for Covid, and the daughter is self-isolating + awaiting her own C-19 test results.

Covid travel restrictions, lockdowns and quarantines I need like a hole in the head. Stressed, aye just a tadge.

Good grief Bri, it never rains but it pours! Hope stuff works out ok and comes good for you and your daughters. You have my sympathy over the levels of stress this must be generating for you. I know personally what dealing with stress at this level is like.

Why do problems come along in groups? I hope things improve for you and your daughters Bri
