I hope someone gives you the info you need SSG . I'm glad I don't colour my hair at the moment as it's one less thing to worry about, but if I can't get hold of face powder or mascara then I'll be very upset 😭.

Mascara would not bother me at at all.
Lip salve on the other hand..............

Hi @HairyHandofDartmoor and @beanielou

I'm with you on the face powder Hairy  - only my other must have would be lipstick. At one time years ago I would have opted for the mascara but I seem to need the lip definition these days.... 👄👄👄

End of WFH - Week 2 finished!!  And it's absolutely flown by!  Being the busiest time in our firm's calendar has added to it, but it's strange that the working hours go quicker at home than at the office. It's been manic today as it's the last business day of the tax year - I only clocked off for lunch for twenty minutes. So no lunchtime walk again and I feel too meh to go out Now!  Thank goodness it's the weekend!  And I thought all days would merge into one! 

I've been putting the radio on in the background after I've had the morning news on the TV. I've decided to switch stations around regularly. I'd been listening to Magic but the last couple of days I've been tuned into Scala Radio. This is a classical station but it also includes scores from well known TV programmes, musicals etc as well. They even played a very old Morcambe and Wise song about being positive which is very apt at the moment!😀. 

Odd story I'd forgotten to post - last week when I was in our Tesco Express I bought a bunch of bananas. At the till the guy said that under the new rules I could only have three bananas, so he stripped my bunch!  I was a bit taken aback but on my way out I noticed that there were also packaged bananas as well as loose. Same with apples etc.  So what would happen if you bought six apples in a pack?🤔🤔🤔. Would the staff open the pack and give you three?  How would this be costed on the till?  The  funny thing is when I got home he had actually miscounted and I had four bananas but only paid for three!👍

I managed to squeeze in the clothes washing today - all dark colours again so that's reduced the clothes wash load. 😁

SCRIMPY MSE NEWS
Not much to report. Scrimpy Week 1 April ended on Wednesday and I totally forgot about it as not much spending going on at all. I've been allocating the Ad Hoc spends money to the FB budget.   Most of the monthly DDs went out on Wednesday.  Spends have been at the supermarkets plus I've ordered three pairs of leggings from Evans in the sale - £7 each.  Leggings are my new go to workwear for the foreseeable future and my current pairs are quite old now. 

Tonight's plans are to read diaries, watch some telly and catch up with DD and a cousin.

All looking good on the money front - not going out is certainly saving the pennies.
Enjoy your evening browsing and catching up with folk. 

How strange with the bananas - like you said - what would have happened if you’d have bout pre packed fruit 🤔🤔

Yes @milann - I think if you are in steady employment at the moment with a regular salary still coming in, quite a few folk are going to find they have some disposable income.  Handy for those trying to debt bust. 😊

I agree with the WFH I have been busier than ever  and time is flying by . I am glad to close my laptop on Thursday evening. I haven't any of my personal spends this pay month yet so will be saving for a rainy day. 

Enjoy the weekend.

Haha. Banana story made me laugh
All sounding good and you seem to be able to keep sane in these crazy times.

The banana thing is bonkers. I think time goes by faster WFH. We are also very busy at work finding the money to pay for all this. I certainly count my blessings I am working, on full pay and spending less. Mascara is my absolute must have. 

milann

Yes - paying for all this will be interesting to say the least......scary times all round 😱😱
