I make a big point of queuing way more than 2m away from anyone and walk a huge way around anyone.
How the nursery has had no cases at all is a miracle. You'd think they'd be a bit more sensitive since I am obviously pregnant, but apparently it makes no difference.Fashion on a ration 2025 0/66 coupons spent

My mask stays on until I am in the car & have done the central locking thing. How did we manage before that. I am just grateful that the guy selling me the car suggested to me that it was a good idea to lock up before moving rather than waiting for the car to do it itself.I think the only reason little ones don't spread it more is because they ARE little. As in the virus comes out of them & travels generally downwards when we are usually way up there, even when we are only just over 5ft!5

Week one of the school run is over. Phew! today was the first day they were all in school at the same time. I even remembered that DS4 had after school football, so was waiting for him outside school at 4.15. Sadly he was tired and grumpy and a total idiot. He wants to eat everything not nailed down, but was extremely rude about what I was making for his supper, stormed off, and then less than half an hour later, ate it all plus pudding and declared it delicious. I still wanted to push him down a well though. Rude child.Just going to take it easy this weekend, speed cleaning, seeds sowing, baking, not driving anywhere as I have a sore knee due to using the clutch so much. 10 school days left, then not going back until April12th. I can do 10 days without turning into a screaming harpy. Honest. I think. Lots more people I know are being vaxxed next week - we have got to the 55's and over in Le'Shire now. Still a way to go before me then.I did find vegan and gluten free Finnish licorice in Herr Ron for 79p a bag, so will walk back up there tomorrow morning and buy a few bags to send to m-i-l. who is always complaining how much she misses licorice now she is g/f. Aha! I did not even notice the big Gluten Free sign on the front, I was just happy it had a Vegan one! So we all had a taste, it is more 1970s Barratts than the RJs soft stuff, but it is acceptable I think.I scored a big bag of apples that were heading toward the bin - they each have a tiny bruise on one side - so they will be turned into puree tomorrow morning, and I will make apple crumble slices for afternoon tea on the M-word Day on Sunday. Is it egotistical to celebrate yourself? Nobody else will bother, so I will make myself a cake, and a crumble slice, and scones, and fruited soda bread, and when they ask what is going on, I will tell them it is national ME day.They can have the leftovers in their lunchboxes on Monday. I am only baking on Sundays from now on.I am, however, really looking forward to having crumpets for breakfast with lovely coffee tomorrow morning before anyone else gets up.4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!

mmmm apple puree - a real childhood memory as my mum made loads. so much so that when the kids were babies I used to take a sneaky taste when they had a jar (in her memory and to my delectation)
I am just having my early morning coffee with no one else around - alas no crumpets here. National ME day I like that , except my youngest (of 4) has ME so I will think of it as ME ME ME day to avoid confusionI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long

It's all about ME! I got up after a long and lazy lie in (6.25
stupid daylight! ) and went off and ran in the park. Scared the absolute nuts off a squirrel busy trying to dig up the daffs and not noticing me running around - rather me scaring it than a dog getting hold of it. Only 3km, but was home just after 7, have had a bath and my crumpets and the laundry is on the line and another in the machine. Chest wheezing like anything (pollen asthma) but hey ho.
The weight is coming off, I am not waiting for them to get onboard.I run alone, early mornings, before my brain has woken up. While I am motivated to do so.Right, I have a list and stuff to do4/10/22One Year Mortgage Free Yay!
