I scalded myself when I tripped on stairs while carrying two mugs of coffee.
Honestly it went everywhere over the carpet and over the wall.
Happy to say my arm which blistered is healing well.
I put that down to standing in shower and letting cold water run on it for as long as I could stand it.

I finally used my spend local prepaid Mastercard today for £100. They were issued free to the adult population in Northern Ireland and you had to ring a helpline to get a pin to activate your card. You could use them pretty much anywhere you wanted though idea was to use them in smaller places rather than supermarkets. I hope that this may have helped some of the smaller shops who have had to deal with lock downs & restrictions not to mention welfare of their staff.

Dot Bravo, all for shopping locally, surely shops and hospitality would have learned from the initial lockdown, I was out as recently as the 10th December for a team do and it’s clear pubs and restaurants had upped their prices by a good 40% across the board, I Don blame them,,beer a minimum of £4.50 a pint a bottle of Prosecco £16 and putting their own tip on the bill, now I don’t object to that but we all have to cut our cloth accordingly , anyway well done you and Seasonis Greetings!

Henrysix,

Just heard of a survey to see where the most expensive cities are for a night out and apparently Belfast where I work is on list. Well it is 107th on list with Edinburgh (90th), London (6th), Dublin (12th) and Manchester (93rd).

They reckon that our local prices for the likes of electronic items have gone up due to supply chain issues.
The cost of petrol, gas and electric have all increased.
A pint in Belfast can range from £5.00 upwards and four cocktails can cost £40.00.

Apparently the more affordable cities include Stoke-on-Trent, Glasgow and Newcastle.
Mind you I do wonder how these surveys are carried out and I think your comments would be accurate reflection of things.

Wishing you well over the festive season and hope the New Year is a better one for everyone.
Dot

Hope the meal went well banjo.

I was given a voucher by relatives for a very nice small hotel in a nearby village so am debating whether to book a meal for wedding anniversary or maybe leave it till I see how virus rates go. Anniversary is this month.

Had a lovely meal on Boxing Day with relatives at a country pub.
Felt safe as we were upstairs in the place, all staff masked and although another party of people arrived the table they had was well away from ours. The food was great and nice day out.
