Get a grip !

You know it can get emptied, even if it will take a few trips.

You've done well to keep your delivery food bill to a reasonable amount, I know it's more than you would normally spend, but still good.

Hopefully you will manage a little walk, don't try and go too far as you need to get back too!

Food delivery came at 9.15am. A few things were out of stock so final bill is £58.20. Took a while to carry into kitchen & unpack and foot really aching now, so have had some fruit and am sat with my feet up ☺️

Must get back to aldee where my shopping pre-corona Budget was £125 a month! Spend so far in June now £140.27 / £150 so must make it last till payday. Most other months I have been around £200 😱 and had to use money from other pots to cover

I can sympathise with the food shopping being out of sync! lol It's ok we will get back on track soon I am sure. The weather has been gorgeous today.

Went online to cancel amaxon prime 30 day free trial & was offered another 30 days free ! So I can carry on shopping online until 19 July if I want to. Will see how I feel & see how walking progresses. 

Made a start on the net curtain this afternoon, I brought it downstairs & cut it in half. 😆 Tried to get the old one down but couldn’t manage standing on a stool in my bedroom. Will try again in a few days & once I get the old wire down I can cut the top off the new ones to the correct length & sew a channel at the top for the wire to thread through. The bottom is scalloped so I don’t want to cut the bottom off.

One load of washing done, line dried & hung up, or folded & put away.

I walked the dog across the road at lunch time and we sat on a bench in the park in the sun. It was cloudy this morning but the sun came out around 10am & it’s been lovely & warm with a nice breeze ☀️ Foot aching a bit this afternoon & still swollen so have been mostly resting on the sofa 😊

I cannot believe you stood on a stool and walked with your foot. Well done on starting the curtains. I hope you are resting a bit too.

You just can't take it easy can you 😁 

Well done on securing an extension for your deliveries, I'm sure it will take the pressure off pushing yourself to walk.

Hope you have had some rest today.

All I’ve done is rest for 2 weeks I’m so BORED !!! The hospital told me to keep moving and it’s not broken so now the pain has eased I need to get walking on it. 

Played with the dog in the garden this morning sitting on a chair & throwing her ball. Hung some washing out. Worked until 3pm (sat down for 6 hours apart from a few breaks) & then short walk to end of our road with the dog to sit in the park. Lovely breeze. Home again & slept for an hour 😴 

DS’s gf has walked the dog for an hour this evening now it’s cooler. Made myself chicken & peppers in black bean sauce for dinner with half a pack of microwave rice. Enough for 2 meals so remains put in a tub for the freezer once cooled.

Sorry didn’t mean to shout ! Just so annoying that I can’t walk the dog and do simple things. I know it will pass but I am an impatient patient 😆  I don’t know how those shielding have coped all these weeks having to stay in!

Plan for today, work, walk 5 mins, wash towels, online banking - bills money should arrive today from DS & gf so will check budget & move savings

I read it as being bold and underlined so we knew you were bored 😁

Today's plan sounds great!

I sympathise so much it's awful. I want us all well and for us to be able to relax. I hope today goes well.
