Hi Lucky Really pleased that DH has been awarded his PIP and you can put it to the back of your mind for a few years now. xx

Fab news the PIP has been awarded for 6 years, shouldn't have to keep being assessed if there's no chance of improvement though.  Mr SA had his awarded for 5 years last time but I'm sure that was 3 years ago, time flies. 

Shame about the TV programme, got to keep trying though.  I always wish I'd contacted Love Your Garden when Mr SA was in hospital as it had got so overgrown and I had to pay a fair bit to get someone to tidy it up.  I'm sure I would've stood a good chance with him being so poorly and in hospital all that time.

Hi all! Hope everyone is ok and surviving these weird times. Feels like some kind of apocalypse with empty shelves and the threat of isolation! Personally, I wish they’d just go ahead and close the schools etc. 

No panic buying here, we don’t have the funds to. DS2 helpfully dropped a full toilet roll down the loo on Friday though - of all the times!! He also has a cold and we are getting through the calpol, so had to go in search of more today. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear he was doing it on purpose to wind me up!!

I got my 3 stone award on Friday. I needed 1lb and actually lost 2.5lbs, so I’m on my way to my next award already  .

Afternoon all!
Took the decision to keep the boys off school from Wednesday, and then of course the government announced closure from Friday anyway. We’ve all been holed up in the house and it’s going fine so far. Their schools have been great at setting work online, and in between times we’ve been baking, watching films and they’ve got their friends to play with online too. Joe Wicks and the trampoline in the garden have provided physical activity too. Fingers crossed it stays this calm!!

I’ve been trying to stick to my diet despite all SW classes being cancelled. According to my home scales I’ve lost a pound this week.

Money is tight with having to do bigger shops than normal. We haven’t been panic buying or anything, but I usually do smaller shops more regularly, and it’s hard switching to larger shops less often. I have cancelled our monthly National Trust direct debit, and have been trying to increase surveys etc. I cashed out
 £5 on Swagbucks earlier.

Hope everyone is staying safe and well. Sending socially distanced hugs to all Xx

Glad all is going ok.  My budgets that were doing so well have also gone to pot as I'm used to just buying what I need for that day/week and now I'm having to think about what I might be running out of in the near future and will I be able to get it. 

It's so hard to concentrate on things at the moment, I really can't settle.

Take care xx
