Morning WB Can you try Tesco. I've had all my stuff delivered with a few substitutions that were perfectly fine. I even managed to get the potatoes and eggs in the end. The driver recommended booking ahead although he did say from next week they were going to start prioritising delivery slots for older/vulnerable people which is fair enough. xx

Supermarkets have cottoned on to the thing I was worried about: people buying a limited product then coming straight back in and buying more! My husband was in Tesco this morning buying milk and one of the staff said to the manager about a woman who had bought two limited items, gone out, back in and did the same again. Whether he stopped her or not, we don't know but it's these people who cause the issues. Her house will probably collapse under the weight of all her tinned goods! The scan and shops have also been turned off to stop people circumventing the maximum buy policy.

Amazon are limiting non-essential deliveries so items such as food, cleaning products, baby items etc can get through to people who need them. Syringes were also included in that so I'm hoping you'll be ok

Tesco don't deliver to us. But Sainsbury's sent the same email so hoping we can get a slot soon somewhere although I do wonder how they determine who's vunerable? Cross that when it comes to it. 

Thank you gstrang I noticed the things say delivery could be longer than usual.

I do my online shops with Mr M, can book 3 weeks ahead which I’ve done up to 2 April. At the moment showing no slots for 7 April. We don’t have a car and I’m trying to stay away from public places as much as I can due to Mr SA being high risk. Not sure if he’d be classed as vulnerable. Will be interesting to know.

I can't get another delivery slot yet until the money from today's goes back into the bank. 

Appointments went okay. We will now have to visit the supermarket for some stuff at some point. 

Reached out to the crisis team for myself MH wise. Assuming they are busy really but really just need something extra to get through I feel. 

Getting on for now. Need to iron and things. Trying to occupy myself as much as possible. Will be happy come the 25th when I can really lock us down and be settled for at least a few extra weeks.

Crisis team responded with what I wanted. Took extra meds and slept a few hours. Don't want to do it to often though as I don't feel I can be on the ball so much with the smalls. 

I didn't get a real shop. It's impossible. Got a delivery slot for over the weekend when hopefully the money will have dropped back into my bank and given all the restrictions now there will hopefully be most available. 

Done the budget for the month and I'm £258, short for bills. No idea how. Or what's gone so wrong. Some things are more expensive but can't see how it is that much. Going to pawn the Things i can to solve it this month then sit and work it all out again before next month.

And on a more positive note. 
No symptoms from anyone and all have normal temperatures. 

Smalls are quite happy with the routine we've set to get work and things done. 

Always a positive even on the worst of days x

Take care x
