Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I hope you get paid full pay I am sure you will. Supermarkets are lethal places at the minute but essential. 

I am trying to get a click and collect slot for Mr A , have the slot but can't get on to do the shopping. 

Stay safe .

You stay safe too Sunshine and I hope you can get online to do the actual shopping soon!

Apparently all the websites are down for the main supermarkets 😩 I think at the moment your best bet is the actual shop. Hopefully there’ll be some government intervention soon, it has to stop.

DS1 had a horrendous visit to the supermarket today (as I described in an earlier post) with people getting far too close to him 😡 so it's not ideal but what can we do?

Non of our dinner time staff are in - the rest of the staff are working the full day with staggered breaks. They are trying to keep the amount of people in school to a minimum. That said - we could have had 70ish children in but today there were 17. The staff that aren’t with children are deep cleaning the school - toys, books, pencils - everything.
Hope you’re feeling better.

I’m dreading it from next week onwards as I can’t get any more online slots. I’ve had a text from NHS saying don’t go out as a carer for Mr SA but what can I do?

I hope you can get an online slot SA. Perhaps DD can tell you when Mr M is quiet and you could pop out for some food then?

The nearest Mr M is 4 miles away and having no transport this would mean an hour’s walk. Somehow we’ll manage 👍

My mum couldn't get any slots and then suddenly they appeared - it looks as if they've been validated who is vulnerable and elderly and then opening slots to them. So probably none are available because they're being reserved for those who need them.
My brother is going to do the odd bit of shopping for me until my temperature has been down for several days, as dropping it off is an excuse to see each other, even if at a distance.

Thanks greenbee. I think we need to wait for the NHS letter saying he is vulnerable, according to today’s text it’s on its way.
