    we are at 91 deliveries for tomorrow I'm even helping out with the deliveries after I've finished work.

    I have no idea if I'll be able to continue to help out if I'm required to go back to work full time next week due to the new phases being implemented in Scotland.  

    College have got in touch with my student they've told her my payment is scheduled for release for the 5th June so I'm getting paid woo hoo this money will go towards the table and chairs set I've purchased for the garden and the rest will go towards the holiday fund.  I'm very pleased with that outcome as I had written it off.

    hubby had a productive night last night he installed my 12 garden fence lights in the garden it looks so pretty and he also put my blind up in the bathroom woo hoo go hubby lol.  He also painted and sealed my stars as I'm making my own bunting for my shed so all i need to do is string it up and we will be paying a visit to B&Q tomorrow night for hooks as well as a new toilet seat as mine has started peeling.

    no work out today as was at the food bank today helping out and I'm shattered.

    I have £745.17 in the holiday account thanks to more survey money coming in yesterday. Would love to get this to £800 by the weekend but need to watch the pennies. Need to get the boys pictures done for their passports, think Tesco have a photo booth so that's a job for the weekend.  

    right off to tidy the living room up a bit before I sit down to watch some programs.

    Great going on the holiday fund and garden stuff. When the weather is good it makes you feel like doing things in the garden. The bunting and lights sound lovely - I love the fairy lights in mine.

    I'm a bit annoyed that Childminders have to open before nurseries as they expect the kids to stay 2 metres apart when they are in my house, now if I have 4 childminding kids at any one time how am I meant to keep these kids apart, my opinion is there is going to be a lot kids developing separation anxiety when they go back as they'll not all understand what social distancing is and get really upset that they are

    I;m also annoyed I could potentially have 4 different families kids in my household but I can't have my gran, MIL or my best friend in my house.  go figure

    Abbie seems to be improving so I'll take that thank goodness she's got work tomorrow morning so there goes my lie in lol half 8 start but I'm grateful she's better

    Glad Abbie’s feeling better. But of a tough one with the childminding, it’s not going to be easy. You would hope that whoever makes these decisions has thought it through...
