Get a grip !

Skint_yet_Again

Fed the dog at 5.30am. I still wake early every morning. Pre corona I would go to work for 6.30am. Now I take more painkillers & sleep until 8am. Then I play with the dog in the garden, eat breakfast & start work in the living room at 9am. 

My latest morresons Amazon order came last night at 9.15 and was free delivery 🤗 Not sure why it was free as usually it’s £3.99.  Shopping was £42.70. Total £82.70 / £150.  I should get one more delivery next week before my 30 day free trial of prime runs out & I will cancel before I have to pay. Hopefully by then I will be able to drive to the supermarket!

Sounds like a lovely first thing in the morning routine to me.

I'm pleased your free trial is working well for you. Do DS or GF not drive? As you could give them your shopping list and add something extra to it to say thank you 😊

Hopefully your foot will have eased enough to drive, but the supermarkets are getting more slots available now.

Getting them to shop for me hasn’t worked out. Nothing untoward, just different shifts, I need food & they don’t, waiting ages for them to work out the bill & paying them a month later messing up my budgeting. Just too much of a drama 🙄

Mixed weather here today. Thunderstorms at lunch time, torrential rain, then hail. Rain came down so fast the lawn was under water 😳. Then it brightened up and the sun came out.

Worked till 3pm then had an ice cream 😊 Dinner was liver & onions with mash, veg & gravy. DS & gf walked the dog.

The gardens are overdue a good water and at least the sun made an appearance 🌞

Yummy to dinner and pudding!

Morning. I hope the bruises are improving and the painkillers are working. Yikes. Your food sounds delish. Let's hope for a quck day and a good weekend.

Finally after 2 weeks there is some improvement with my foot 🤗 Not walking yet but can get up and down stairs and into the garden without crutches 😊 

So it’s the weekend and I have nothing to do. 😕 DS & gf bought themselves a chest freezer so they can do a bigger shop. This will free up space in the freezer drawers in my fridge freezer, so I can store more bread/ frozen food. I have planned a final shop for Morresons via  amaxon prime to last until the end of the month. Then DS & gf can just get me milk & fruit/veg weekly if needed. I will see what delivery slots are available. 

DS & gf have also booked a tip run for next week. We now have to book a slot here. I will sort some stuff over the weekend for them to take. I’d also like to clear my living room of the final few bits from the utility room & do some shredding. 

Finally I want to get on with making the net curtains I mentioned last weekend. I can sew sitting down, so no excuse!

Weather looks good so far. DS’s gf is working downstairs in the kitchen and I can hear the washing machine. I have a few things to wash so will do them tomorrow & towels need doing. DS is off to work at lunchtime so I will have a lie in & start later. 

Have a good day everyone x

That's fantastic news about your foot and DS & GF getting a freezer, you will now be as to make full use of yours and will notice a difference with bulk buying / cooking!

I think it's tip run bookings everywhere as it is up here too, it's the only way they can maintain social distancing.

I'm are you will find other things to do, aside from the curtains, this weekend. If you don't, then enjoy the rest x

Good luck with the curtains, DS and DGirlfriend's news about freezer will help you out I am sure. Glad they are organising a tip run too. Your house is going to be so clear. After all this time I bet there is not much left. Try to make the most of the sun if you can and if you can pamper yourself so you recover!!!!

Haha I wish that were true 😆 but at least some of it will be gone. It will take several trips. 

Yesterday I managed to clear another large bag full and cleared the living room.  Also did some shredding. 

Today I have a food shop coming between 9-11am. £62.47 with free delivery ☺️ Should last until payday except maybe more milk / fruit/ veg. Also planning to do some washing & tackle the net curtain.  I will also attempt a short walk & see how I get on, if I can get my shoes on 😆

Ds & his gf get paid tomorrow, so money for bills should come in on Tuesday & I can transfer money to savings 🤗
