HairyHandofDartmoor said:Thanks everyone 🙂. I like Rosmary Conley and Barbara Currie as they go at a fairly gently pace which suits someone in their fifties and my dvds both have ten minute workouts that are very flexible 🤸♀️🧘♀️. Do you have the Seven Secrets dvd @Seasidegal58 ? I have that one and it's the one I use the most.I don't envy you on having the aggressive dog as a neighbour! Hopefully you will be able to fix new garden fences in the not too distant future. Your garden sounds really nice though with all the work you've been putting into it. 😀🌿🌻🌱Finally Debt Free! - July 2016 🌟

Hi HHD
The zoom birthday party sounds great fun and it's nice to be able to see people even if it's not in the flesh. Are you looking forward to working in school this week? I'm keeping busy pottering around doing bits and bobs but hubby is getting a little stir crazy now. And DD is doing an assignment and isn't feel motivated at all so I'm trying to jolly them both along a little bit, it's hard work though. Hope the noisy neighbours go in for some part of the afternoon so you can enjoy the garden even if it's just for a little while. xx

Thanks all of you 🙂. I managed to do all my jobs yesterday and then relaxed for a bit.
I've got school today. I've been off for two weeks so I don't feel like going, but I'm sure I'll enjoy it when I get there. It gets me out of the house anyway and I can have a brief chat with some adults during the handover of the children. It's a lovely sunny day ☀️ so I should enjoy the walk there and back and it will give my life back a bit of much needed normality. Although school feels a bit weird when I'm there with so few staff and children. It's no longer a madhouse. But I'm sure it will do me good to go. This lack of social contact isn't doing my mental health any good 😕.
I've got a video chat scheduled with DS3 at 2pm (if he remembers and is awake!) so I'm looking forward to that 😀.
I hope everyone is having a good Monday 🙂.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

Morning HHD
Hope your first day back goes well and you enjoy the change of scene and company. There'd be no chance of me talking to DS at 2pm lol but I hope yours is awake and ready for a chat. Have a lovely day. xx
