Morning everybody.

1. Hope you are all well. What have you got on today / the rest of this week?
2. How are we all feeling? I think we need help each other out a bit when we're in times like these. Hope you're doing okay.
3. When are you up for your jab? - Do you know yet?
4. How's work, is it still trickling through or has it dried up? Or perhaps you're booming at the moment with boilers breaking left right and center.
5. What PPE extras are you taking?
6. Which suppliers are open physically? Which are online only? Where are you getting your stuff from?

Answer all or any or nowt. Let's see if we can check in and help each other out.

Morning, not too sure whether the email applies to me as I am not a plumber lol but yes, I am very well thanks for asking : ) The lack of variety in my day to day activities has had a bit of an impact on my mental health though - too much needs to be done in the house (damp in the walls; new lino; clear out garage; redecorate) and I also work full-time. Luckily it was just a one off blip. My 16 years old is in year 11 and the lessons this time round have been interactive using online meetings so much better, I just need to get him up in time - that has been a fail this week! My 20 year old went back to London after Christmas. He is in his 3rd year at Uni studying film production. He shares a house with 4 friends so they have each other for company and are not isolated in student halls. Fingers crossed he will be safe as he is Newham which has the highest number of Covid cases.

Funny you should ask about boilers as my stopped working yesterday morning! Luckily I know I an excellent plumber who is working hard to get it repaired. He has ordered a replacement coil so fingers crossed things will be up and running this evening!

I have been working from home since the first lockdown (I test computer software for bugs etc). The business has since decided to give up the office. I saw my work colleagues for the first time in 9 months just before Christmas.

No news on the jab yet. Luckily I live in a rural area and don't have much interaction with people other than a weekly shop or my support bubble. I wear a mask and use sanitiser on the trolley and my hands.

I shop at Tesco, Sainsburys, B&Q, and Screw Fix. Next have closed the stores but you can still order online.

Stay safe x

Awww it's meant for everybody yeah. It's a pain in the arse for everybody but we have to keep edging forward. This new strain sounds like it might be a problem I'm hoping they're tweaking vaccines already for it!

Glad to hear your boiler is getting back up and running!

I will be glad when the schools go back, the amount they have been missing out on for so long is awful. learning at home just doesn't compare.

I have a square type kitchen sink tap and cannot access the cartridge to replace it as it is housed in a round chrome kind of case that does not allow a shifting spanner to grab it . There seems no way to move the chrome caseing part to remove it I can send a pic if ok I am new on here.
