Get a grip !

Magazine contact for subscription called me back today & she will send another magazine to DF and make sure address correct for next month. 

Have just seen the news. Not much social distancing for people returning to work in England ! Estate agents & garden centres re-opened, people flocking to tips and beaches and police now have no power to enforce social distancing. Let’s see if the deaths go up 😕

Have done a bit of weeding and cut the grass.

Good luck with the results of the tests, with all that walking you are doing really well I bet. I hope back is getting better. Good luck with your father's subscription what a shame I hope it is sorted v soon.

Not much to report just managing an average of 20 minutes work an hour. It’s frustrating not being able to do more and tempting to try but the pain is too much if I overdo it. Hope the rest of my equipment arrives soon!

Nice morning dog walks in the sun, she has been well behaved 😊

Shopping £65.98 / £150. I am going out to get a few bits after work finishes at 2pm.

Oh no the pain is not good. I am getting headaches from being online for 12 hours a day. Our boss told us to take the rest of the day off as everyone is so stressed out in our dept. I hope you can relax a bit.

I end up with migraines and nausea working from home. 

Don't push yourself, home set ups are no where near as good as the office and businesses are starting to recognise it's causing issues. A lot of time goes in to setting an office up for computer use, making sure the overhead lights are in the right place, the desk is right for the windows etc. We don't have this luxury at home!

I've read that a break every hour, for upto 15 minutes is better than working, lunch for an hour, working.

Well done puppy dog!

Hope you picked up some lovely shopping.

I’m only doing 2 hours total over 6 which averages about 20 mins an hour and then resting in between. Am glad it’s Saturday. 

Cooler morning today, better for dog walking. Am now doing a bit more “weeding” mainly bluebells that have died back & pouring boiling water on dandelions & buttercups that have come up in the gaps in the paving. 

Spent just over £50 in moressons yesterday. Should be enough for 2 weeks apart from more milk, fruit & veg/ salad. I am going to cook a big chilli later & put some  in separate pots in the freezer. 

Money from DS & gf should come in on Monday and then I can pay into my different pots & savings. I also need to check when I can switch gas & electric as my tariff runs out in July.

Have a chilled weekend. The weather has picked up over the weekend and is looking much better by me now. Well done on meal prepping.

That's good about your hours / timings.

I'm sure puppy dog appreciated the cooler days, especially with a permanent fur coat.

Seems to be bluebells everywhere at the moment, I've some off-white ones as well as the blue ones. So delicate and pretty.

Have you got the loyalty card for M? I save all my different points up and use them over December, although I didn't use them last year due to being away.

Walked the dog this morning at 8 for an hour. Felt really tired when I got back so had some breakfast and another snooze. 

Have just finished tidying the garden. Pulled up the last of the died back bluebells & celandine. Poured boiling water on weeds in the gaps in between the paving slabs. I can only manage about 20 mins bending. I use a thick foam kneeling pad so I don’t have to bend so much. Also swept the path & poured boiling water on the weeds in the front forecourt paving slabs. Boiling water works really well and costs nowt. 🤗 

Will be resting for the remainder of the day 😊

An hour is a good walk, for both of you.

That's a good tip for the weeds, I've been trampling and kicking them in the paths!

Do you have any raised borders / pots as they will be higher up and less / no bending. Same as SH, I've a plastic footstool to sit on, but I also sit on the ground to avoid bending; getting back up is funny!

Enjoy the rest of your day 🤗
