Well done on your PA surveys!  I've done quite a few but only low value ones.

Could you send me a link to your Avon store too please?

Evening
How is everyone??

Managed my walk with the kids and did a huge freezer shop so both freezers are full so minimum outings to the shops for the next couple of weeks.  Always a bonus.

Holiday funds are sitting at £51.76 so far better than nothing I guess

Today I ordered some wood filler from toolstation so took a walk with a buggy and picked it up so thats something I Can do when I have a quiet moment

Looks like I might be volunteering my spare days for the local foodbank and the Committee thats runs it has has came into some sort of in fighting so they are making swift changes and needing people to step up so I've volunteered my Wednesday and Thursday if they need me as hubby was furloughed on Wednesday so someone will be home with the kids so I'm happy to help out where I can.

Done my workout and hit my 12000 steps so go me I've hit my target of over 12000 steps a day this week, stayed within my calories allowance and done my 5 workouts this week.  Will keep at it as feel good although might have a temper tantrum when i get weighed tomorrow morning xx

Good news about the stocking on frozen food. Shopping is even more stressful than normal at the minute. 
I have often thought about volunteering at the food bank but I don't have the days of in the weekday to do the training they keep wanting so have been unable to complete it. 
Sorry to here about hubby. 
Your holiday fund is increasing though. x

Don't be sorry I'm actually quite pleased he's been furlonged as he was getting super anxious about bringing home the bug so now it'll be down to me or Abbie lol xx

My DS has just been furloughed- who had even heard of this word before now. I’m working on the Job Retention Scheme helpline at the moment helping businesses get their grants through so they can pay their staff. Lovely that you’ve volunteered to help with the FB. In our house it’s just DD working at Mr M who is a possible source of infection.

I can imagine you are really busy then Sun addict. It's challenging times for businesses. 

That's ok then Abba! As long as he is ok with it. x

well so far I've been tasked to listening to voicemails from people needing food provisions and prescriptions and getting them organised.

Also in charge of taking over the spreadsheet of those who require additional help, so far we have over 160 families in need which is just awful.  More heartbreaking when you know half of them.

Today I'm off for a walk as I need to return a avon order for one of my customers as shes hooked up to a oxygen machine so i offered to sort it out and sent it back so decided I would walk there with the boys and the puppy.  That'll knacker them out.

Got another committee online meeting at 6.30pm to see how we go forward so it's all go here lol 

right off to get this parcel wrapped up xx

Have browsed your Avon site today and put in an order 😁Some fab bargains on there I had to restrain myself 🤣 Very sobering re all the families that need help, it's a dire situation at the best of times, must be so much worse right now.
