    Sounds like you are on a mission Abba. 
    Sorry about Abbie's boyfriend. Not very understanding and he clearly doesn't understand anxiety if he thinks it is bipolar. I am glad her manager is understanding though. That's something another difficulty, but sounds like she is in the right place for someone who knows how to support her.
    Part of me is finding being on my own difficult, but then another part is so grateful that I don't have to put up with anyone else going stir crazy with all the isolation and struggling to cope. My ex would have been an absolute nightmare by now so I am sort of glad he isn't around to stress me out more. I know stress and anxiety does lots of things to different people. It sounds like your hubby is also struggling to keep himself calm. x

    He's worried about bringing the bug home @niknak but he wears overalls at work so his clothes are protected so I'm going to buy him a bag for him when he's on his bike and I'll put hand sanitizer in it so he can disinfect himself before he comes into the house......it seems to have put his mind at ease a little bit for now xx

    I can understand that. I have the same worry when I go to work too. Sounds like the plan will help to minimise the risk. I washed my hands as soon as I entered the house before even hugging DD just as a way to reduce it. I didn't have overalls so couldn't just strip, but did wash clothes as quickly as I could. x

    In a bit of a bad mood really want to shake it as I have plenty to do today.

    Hubby's is off sick today says he's feeling dizzy but he knows I'm pi@$ed at him for being off.  He went back to sleep and I had to phone his boss to say he wasn't coming in.  He never phones it's always left to me.  So I've stayed down stairs as I didn't want to go back to bed.  According to fitbit I've had 5 hours sleep.........it's going to be a long day and hubby will be warned within a inch of his life if he starts a argument with anyone in the house due to his mood he can stay in the garage all day out my way as he is in negative Annie mood and I haven't the patience for it today.

    Yesterday was productive me and mindee were out the back garden and I swept and deweeded the whole thing took me two hours but it looks so much better.  Managed to dismantle the cardboard boxes that came with the teepee, all 5 of them and put them in the fire pit ready for hubby to set them alight once all our neighbours got their washing in.  And I also managed to get Abbie's washing basket empty. 

    We went for a walk in the woods last night as Abbie was struggling a bit and the boys haven't been out the house for 10 days lol KK fell at least 3 times, by the time we were heading home Abbie has went from hood up, earphones in and a face like a skelped bum to laughing and chatting with everyone so it was defo worth it.  we even found a rope swing which provided some hilarious videos and it was somewhere I've never walked before and there are loads of paths to explore.  Poor puppy tho towards the end every time we stopped she sat down bless her.

    Sent £10 towards the barclaycard can't wait for this to be gone I really can't xx

    Today's plan is to swap the puppy for my grans lawnmower, shes just messaged me to say the garage is unlocked and shes disinfected it and I'll leave the puppy on her doorstep as it's Wednesday and she looks forward to having her, gives her some company.  So i want to get my grass done and also the grass that is out the front of my house as the council have cut all their services and the grass is looking like a jungle outside so will give it a quick going over just to make it look a bit neater.

    Then I'll see what else I can tackle on my list, I have a couple of painting touch up's I could be getting on with whilst the puppy isn't here but I shall see.

    feeling a bit better writing this down thank goodness for these diaries it's a great outlet

    They are a great outlet. I use mine just to vent about everything.
    The walk sounded like it did Abbie good, which is great. We went for a walk yesterday and that really helped with me as well. 
    When will you clear the Barclaycard? I thought you mentioned this Friday but wasn't sure. 
    Have a lovely day x

    I agree, venting on here really helps.

    I hope DH is ok and isn't too grumpy!  You are a better person than me for phoning in for him :lol:

    Have a good day :)

    I agree. 
    People on here know things about me that my closest friends in RL don’t. 

    I wish I had a 10th of your energy. Xx
