Thank you
Hope you all had wonderful (if different) mother's days.
We haven't really done anything. The smalls made cards with crafty things we had in.
I'm trying to not moan about the situation we are in. I know we're not alone
I hope you all stay safe x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”10 -

I know that you are an ace manager and want to keep on top of everything. Hundreds of thousands of people, if not more, will be deferring payments on everything inc rent and utilities. The govt has said it's OK. If you're worried, I'd check but these are exceptional times and you can't be treated as usual. If you get any aggro, please let us know as I think as a group we have info and useful contacts. Love Humdinger x7 -
Morning WB
Hope you're all well. I thought of you last night when the PM said that they are setting up things so that vulnerable people will get food parcels and medicines delivered. And I'm sure they said the food parcels would be free to start with. Did you hear it? From what I can gather it's being done through local councils. I don't know if it was specifically aimed at adults but I'd definitely ask about it. I'm sure it would go some way towards helping you with things.
Have a lovely day. xx6 -
The deffering of payments can be done but I'm really worried I just don't have the room for things to go up to play catch up if that makes sense?
Tea I did hear about the food parcels I'm not sure how it will work I think we need the letter for PHE before we can look into it. The pharmacy have already set up delivery for us.
I need to call Sainsbugs as they've cancelled Wednesday's delivery because they can't identify I'm in the vunerable group. So will call them this morning why the smalls are doing school work.
I hope you're all okay and keeping safe x“Once you hit rock bottom, that's where you perfectly stand; That's your chance of restarting, but restarting the way.”6 -
Wannabe I would take one day at a time and not worry about the future.
I hope you can get your home delivery back on.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

No, I'm not totally sure of the logistics. When they were talking about how it was going to be set up it seemed like they knew what they were doing, but like a lot of things I bet it's totally different when it comes into play.
These on line orders are frustrating. Mine is changing all the time. One hour something isn't available the next it is. I know it's all to do with computerised stock levels/delivery but it doesn't help not knowing what's going to be turning up and what isn't. There doesn't seem to be an egg to be had where we live, which I find even more odd than the loo roll saga because they have use by dates on them. How many are people intending to eat over the next 2 weeks!
Have you managed to get the order sorted out? xx5
