It's a beautiful sunny morning here too.
I think charity shops are going to receive a massive influx of things when they open, we won't be the only ones going through everything and donating.

Have just seen on BBC news that the NHS is to give more support to diabetics those with type 1 & type 2 😳 Not sure what that is meant to mean ? The guidance hasn’t changed as far as I can see but the number of deaths of those with type 1 & type 2 is scary 😱0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗

Perhaps the way to think is the ones who have passed, didn't manage it correctly and carried on as they have done without lifestyle changes.

Drove to the foreshore with the dog, 5 mins drive away. It’s a stony beach only really used by dog walkers but there was no one there so let puppy dog off the lead & she went for a swim. 🐶😁It’s hot out but there was a lovely breeze by the sea. Hosed her down in the garden when we got back & she’s been drying laid in the sun. She’s now moved to the shade & flaked out fast asleep 💤

Originally i didn't think much of the diabetes and corona debate being changed but then i saw C4 news and knowing the dr it means we are more likely to be safe as he's amazing. But it's still up to us to make the most of it Skinty be happy and keep going along ya know? It sounds like you had a good visit today at the beach I hope work is ok for you and your back get's better.Aiming for a minimal spend 20222

Thanks SW 😊
Thanks button is back too yay!!
Fed the dog at 5.30am as usual then went back to sleep until I took her out to the park at 7.30am. It was hot already !More equipment arrived today along with my chair so I am all set up now.Finished work and had a lie on the sofa relaxing. DS’s gf ordered food from morresons via amazon this afternoon. The slot was 5-6pm today ! Ordered salad & strawberries & few other things for over bank holiday weekend. Had microwaved lamb shank in mint gravy for dinner yum 😋 with microwaved salad potatoes & peas and carrots.Microwave is making a funny noise so I will see if the fan at the back is blocked up tomorrow. If that doesn’t fix it I will look at buying a new one. This one is about 20 years old 😆

Big change in the weather today. Cloudy and blowing a gale! Walked the dog then started work.I tried 2 days ago to cancel the amazon order that was due for delivery today. Really unclear from their website whether it’s still going to arrive. Hopefully not as I no longer need it since I got one eventually delivered from work even though they told me to order one !

Had rain, sun and now it's very windy. Had to close my windows as they were rocking when opened on the tilt section.
If Amazon do send it, I think you can return them and get a refund easy enough.Mortgage started 2020, aiming to clear 31/12/2029.2 -
Nothing arrived so far. I think it must have cancelled. Still very windy but sunny spells. Finished work at 3pm & walked the dog round the pond to get some air & stretch my back. Might treat myself to a kebab for dinner. I still have some holiday money left 😁0% credit card £1360 & 0% Car Loan £7500 ~ paid in full JAN 2020 = NOW DEBT FREE 🤗
