Hello @Minky,

That's good news, well done.

In your signature did you used to have 4x 80mg Glicizide?
 
Afternoon all, glorious here, sunny but nippy.

7.1 @ 10.04 I dither between 6 and 7s, but I'm hoping for 5s eventually.
 
Just had a cup of tea in the garden. It's lovely in the sun surrounded by snowdrops. We have the first daffodils out as well and even had a bumblebee (Bombus terresteris) fly by

Hello @Maca44,

Quite low indeed.

Update on daughter. Had steroid injection to help baby’s lungs develop. No sign of any contractions but they’re sending her to another maternity unit 40 miles away as they’re isn’t any beds in the SCBU where she is! Nothing said about inducing the baby but she definitely won’t be home before the baby’s born. No visitors obviously, not even her husband until she is in actual labour. Damn this pandemic! I feel so helpless, I’m wandering around like a wet weekend. Don’t want to leave the house for a walk incase there’s an emergency and we need the car. Daft I know. She seems fine, she’s a tough cookie. Her hubby is bringing some extra things in for her as yesterday they just grabbed a few things and dashed to hospital. I’m going to go to Boots, as nowhere else is open, and buy some prem sleep suits as everything they’ve bought will be huge for her.
 
@eggyg All you can do is what you're doing. Just be there in mind and spirit. xx

Thinking about you and sending all my best wises to you and your daughter and baby. I am not surprised you are worried - I would be too. In the hope it will help your mind settle a bit - a friend of mine on Facebook's daughter just had twins at 27 weeks and they are doing fine after having steroid injections - both born just under two and a half pounds in weight. It is amazing what they can do these days. It is much harder when you can't be with them though. x

I'm sure she will get the best possible care and support although it is always a worry. Two of my granddaughters were born prematurely, one 6 weeks and the other 5 weeks by emergency C-section weighing in at just under 4lbs, but all went fine. They do seem so small and even the prem baby stuff was huge on them. I hope all goes well for them.
 
@eggyg thinking of you all. She is in the best place and if contractions have stopped that’s really positive as I know you know. I too would be on tenterhooks though xx
 
I hope everything works out OK for you @eggyg
 
Everything crossed here, @eggyg , feeling for you. Waiting is so horrible, and the lack of visiting makes it so much worse.. But as others have said, she is in the right place.

My first grandchild was born at 26+3, just under 2 lb, but all was -eventually- well, and he is now a strapping 22 year old!!
 
@eggyg thinking of you and all the family at this anxious time, be at peace... there is nothing that you can do she is in the best place. x
 
Thank you all for your kind words. Abby now settled in SCBU in Whitehaven. She’s fine. Being monitored but not certain what’s happening next. She’s had a baked tatie and cheese for tea! She’s like me, food comes first! Also found out her husband can visit 6-7 which is good. Pity it’s an 80 mile round trip! I feel a bit calmer now, went out for a very brisk 4 mile walk once I knew she was in the ambulance on her way to the hospital. I might sleep a bit better tonight.

@eggyg thinking of you. I sincerely hope everything turns out well for you and your family.

Hello @eggyg

Sorry to hear about your/your family pain and anguish, hope and pray that everything works out X.
 
@eggyg, she's in the best place. Get some rest and keep us unpdated. Thinking of you all x
 
Gosh a lot of news to catch up on after a 3/4 day absence. I swear on-line teaching is harder than in person teaching.

@eggyg I hope all still remains settled although the waiting is hard I’m sure.

Sorry to see your levels have been all over @freesia hope they’re a little better.

I’m secretly pleased I received a ‘golden ticket’ shielding letter as I don’t have to go into school the week after next. I will move from online teaching into 30 houses at a time to online teaching to my classroom at least I’ll know where everything is !

I had my jab today, the Pfizer variety. All ok so far.

Have a good weekend all. I know we can’t do much !

Hey @Bexlee levels are still all over the place.
How is your teaching going to work? I don't understand. I've not had any shielding letter so i'll be going into work as ususl and full time when we reopen.

I had the Pfizer too this morning. Only a sore arm atm.
 
I’m going to continue doing live real time lessons on computer and streaming it to just the classroom where “all” the kids will be with a cover teacher in the room supervising. I’ll teach like I would in the class and kids will do the tasks set etc - will need careful planing and a lovely technician to print all my work sheets out for me ! Currently all the kids dial in to a zoom style meet and I do a real time lesson that way with resources uploaded for them to print or read through.

It’ll be interesting the 1st few days as no they all need to do the test thing. I hope when I have to do one it’s easy as I don’t really understand the governments diagram and instructions and I have 2 degrees and a teaching qualification!

It’ll be a bit different and another learning curve. I just hope it works and runs smoothly. It needs to end now this pandemic thing.... hopefully, been positive for a change, the vaccines will have us headed in the right direction and as Del Boy says to Rodney .....this time next year we’ll be .......free? Or millionaires !
