Sashybo - Back Again

janb5

Well done Sashy....an impressive list! I do Populus and Prolific but don't keep a list. I often find myself locked out of Crowdology so not too impressed with them.

Yes, full lockdown from midnight.

Hi all, got home fine the other night as it wasn't as cold as previous nights, I didn't even have to defrost the car. 👍 The next night was pretty cold though so had to defrost the car after work.

It snowed this morning but it wasn't very deep so it was safe enough to drive. It started getting foggy around 3pm and is forecast to go down to -7C tonight. 🥶 

DS had his first day back at nursery today, they are allocating key worker places week by week so he has a space until next Friday but should hopefully have one throughout. 🤞 I sent him in pants (!) with plenty of spare pants and socks and 2 changes of trousers just in case in his bag. The teacher managed to get him to use the (child sized) toilet twice and he didn't have any accidents! 👏 

She also suggested we tweak his hours slightly through the lockdown as he was going to be on his own with the teachers from 3-4pm. So he's starting an hour earlier than normal so he finishes at 3pm, just has to take a packed lunch as he'll be eating with the full day kids.

I only realised that DS didn't have suitable shoes for snow when I looked outside this morning at it. 🤦‍♀️ He has boots that *just* fit him so he wore those and I have ordered a new pair in the size up.

The dresses I impulse ordered arrived today, I did have a look at them and try one on but decided to send all three back for a refund. 😇 😂 I shouldn't have ordered them in the first place!!

Managed to get the living room hoovered, a washing on and the cat litter trays cleaned out as well as the usual dish washing etc.

My nephew's gf is in labour just now, poor girl has been in the hospital since yesterday and still no baby. It sounds like my first labour which was 47 hours and ended up with a forceps delivery. Poor girl, she'll be exhausted.

So chuffed for you & the wee man

Thanks Beanie, he's getting there. Obviously today was a different story and he had two accidents at nursery and several at home. It was like he just couldn't be bothered today, although he did use the potty a few times without prompting. 🤷‍♀️ 

The boss at nursery told me today that DS can have a free school dinner if we want whilst he's going in earlier during lockdown, so I said that would be great. Saves me making a packed lunch as well. 👍 

The snow was heavier last night and doesn't appear to be going away. 😭 I had a bit of a skid in the car going down the hill earlier to take DS to nursery. I'm just glad there wasn't a car coming the other way as the car went from one side of the road to the other before I got it back under control. 😱 Not looking forward to my early shifts starting from Sunday if it stays snowy and icy.

I returned my impulse buy dresses today, so hopefully the post won't be too delayed and I'll get the refund next week. 

I have been squirrelling odds and ends of change away and already have £22.95 in my virtual savings pot towards next Christmas. 😀 

My nephew's baby was born last night via a C-section in the end as things weren't progressing quickly enough & his gf was getting too tired after 2 days in labour. So I'm a great aunt to a little boy and my sister is a gran in her 30s! 😱 

I got nothing done around the house today apart from a couple of washings and moving some of my clothes into bigger storage bags. I managed to transfer 4 bags worth into 2 as they were much bigger and also put some in the clothes donation bag. I have 2 black bags full of clothes to donate (both mine & the kids).

Congratulaions on being an aunt.
Blimey, that is young for your sister to be a gran.
I am hoping to be in my 60's~~If at all!!

Scary in the car.  Take care.

I had a friend who was a gran in her 30s 😱 I became a gran in my 50s, Mr SA was still in his 40s (he’s 5 years younger than me - toy boy 🤣).
