    Its hard to control even repeat prescriptions isn't it. Ive just e mailed ours but the address they gave by text didn't work so I had to go to the website and click on the link there. All very frustrating. Im trying the tomato plants from old tomatoes, don't know how it will go but worth a try.

    Good lucky ginnyknit. It rained all night and I think rain is more effective than watering the garden. So far today I have vacuumed, cleaned kitchen, the microwave and the damp from kitchen window. I wonder how many businesses will switch to working from home after the crisis is over? I would love to go to the beach when this is over. There is one marking task to do today and then I think I have done most of my workload.

    Hopefully many companies will 'allow' people to work at home once or twice a week after this is over, as a lot of us are showing it can be done.

    Hope you have nice enough weather to get outside and potter this afternoon 😊

    It is a gorgeous day outside. I have a load of marking to do before tomorrow I am going to try to rush it now. If possible I would also like to mop the floor.

    It does look lovely outside, is it possible to do your marking in the garden? Best of both works, work being done and fresh air 😁

    Back to working online today. I had so much extra work to do but I going to try to stick to work hours only it's not as if they ever appreciate it. I cleaned my kitchen window tonight it helped me to de-stress.

    Lol I was up at 3am writing a report for a meeting this morning. I'm hoping the rest of the week will be calmer. At 3.30pm I stopped working not  and then mowed the grass. My lovely neighbour has cooked the most gorgeous meal for me and I will eat it tomorrow. I feel so pampered. 

    We get paid in one week I've barely spent anything other than on food and tomato plants for £8.99 and £10 to charity. My total spend is tiny. We get paid in one week I just hope I have a job after all of this. I must write a shopping list of things I need. The house is definitely getting tidier since lockdown. Small jobs are being done everyday. It is a good feeling. I just feel bad for all the people that are suffering having lost members of their family.
