Need to get myself together: The beginning

monz

Morning.

My anxiety has went fever pitched.  I am so scared of this virus.  Not for me I know if I get it I will be fine and my son,  I am worried for the elderly, the homeless, those with underlying conditions.  A friend of mine was diagnosed Friday.  She had the mild form but from what she told me still struck fear especially the frightening fever that she had.  I am also worried for my bf getting home from New York he is still there and any day now they will go into lock down.

I am £300 away from £1,800 but I am not in slightest worrying.  It likely will not get done if we go into lockdown.  My son is in school at the moment.  I am unsure of what to do, right now I have enough food in the house to last a while and also been putting food into local foodbank boxes.  People are neglecting them now and thinking of themselves.   I understand they are scared but they ahve literally nothing.  My mind is not coping as well.  I have now banned myself from going on news sites now also.  There is a good site that gives me statistics and updates so I am watching that instead.  I hope all is ok with everyonex x

So today is my last day in work.  I will be working from home. I will try come on this when I can.  I hope everyone is ok in this and to be ok.  These are dark days ahead of us and prayers with you all xx

Currently in "work" aka my dressing gown in dining area.  I have cleaned kitchen, started making dinner for later and my lunch will go a walk around the estate.  Playing GBX (Glasgow radio DJ thats very popular!)  I know saying the dream is working from home and still is, just different circumstances be better for me.

8 days til payday.  Got JE this week, will keep doing as long as I can.  Take care all xx

Hey!

I am still about just working from home, trying to keep some normality.  JP is staying at mine currently with this going on and we trying to work a routine for my boy the now for him.  How are you doing with all this?xx

All good here, back to work tomorrow after a few days off so not looking forward to that x

Morning payday tomorrow.
I have spoken to abba and I already told her I cancelled our holiday in July.  It is just not safe at the moment and I am too worried.  I lost £120 deposit but peace of mind and my boy safety comes first.  I will also get my euro back to pounds.  Spoke to JP and we are not going to USA in November for our road trip.  As it is my boys birthday in November, we are surprising him on his birthday with a trip to Florida for the week.  All our money and holiday money I got back will go to this.  We have made plans to get tops to surprise him in the end of his presents and everything xx

Nice to see you have a plan in place monz. Hope you're coping with the lockdown ok? 

Working from home is normal for me, but not with two kids and a husband around all the time!  

We have booked and paid for our June holiday so won't be cancelling it unless they cancel it nearer the time. I don't fancy losing £2k. 

Is Just Eat still going for now?

I had to cancel for peace of mind. losing some money from it did not matter   Plus we will be going to Florida and now we are saving towards that  

Yeah kind of but think this is last week, tbh I dont see antything going to pop up for it.  Will see what happens.  This is all just temporary for us and hopefully get back to normal.  Payday today.  35 days til next.  Way things going saving money in petrol.  Stopping off aldi on lunch for things I do not need, not going to B n M randomly buying lol xx
