Square brackets are there. Press numbers button .?123 then press button above it #+= that page gives you brackets []{}

We both have it - cabin fever, that is. The friends due to come over this evening have cancelled due to illness, so we are even more affected, and the friends who always used to come for lunch on New Year's Day have moved to Torquay, so now too far away. Doesn't look like we will get back to normal before next Monday, either. Went to Morrisons this morning for something to do. Pathetic as didn't really need anything except some milk.

We went for a lovely walk around the grounds of an NT property today and there were lots of other families getting an airing too.

They close on 01 Jan to 14 Feb which is really annoying as I like walking in most types of weather.

Mine hit on Sunday, DH and I took a trip to a small local out of town shopping centre. Inevitably spent money we didn't intend to, ah well !

Brendawymms....I honestly dont know what I have done there, Sorry. I also attempted to add a smiley (blush).
My tablet doesn't appear to have square brackets.

While out with a friend this morning we called in to Dunelm mill to pick something up and in the 15 or so minutes it took,the car park was so full of people queuing for spaces it was apparent that cabin fever had affected thousands today.

I am a bit today DH is home for another 2wks which usually isn't a problem as he takes himself off to a local residents club and plays snooker for a couple of hours now and then.. but he was incandescent the other day as they have doubled the cost of using the tables and in his words "I'm not bloody well paying that", so here he is getting under my feet all day every day... his car is in the driveway and mine is behind it and if I suggest I might just take a trip somewhere could he move his car then I get oh don't worry I'll come with you ... oh my!! I just want to go on my own for gods sake!!

I had Cabin Fever for 3 days over Christmas - but I'm better now, because I'm back home again! grin

Having just braved Sainsburys I suspect many others feeling the same!

Yes feels the same especially as my hypochondriacal DH is dying of something daily at the moment. Currently it's throat cancer and not eating in case he is sick. I have reached my limit.

Why is this item under "Web chat"?

After all the hard work and excitement of Xmas.
I am verging on a touch of Cabin Fever.
Today I forced myself to go shopping, even though I didnt need anything.
I rang a friend and invited her to come for a bowl of leek and potato soup tomorrow.
I was overjoyed when a Scottish friend, invited me to her 'open house' on New years day.
Any of you Gransnetas feel the same?.
