Thank you Milann I will message you if you don't mind? 

A lovely mse'r has found a bottle and it's on its way. Lucky really as we only have a couple of days left here! With that bottle on its way we will have 20ish days in total. 

Hope you enjoyed baking beanie? Youngest made 12 fairy cakes and I think she's eaten 11 before anyone else got a chance too.

Onto today. We had a busy morning. Cleaning and school work. 

The weather's not great so we haven't really been in the garden. But they've found things to keep them busy. DD is still making her skirt. DS is making something with the craft things and youngest is just under feet. Going to make some soup so that can keep her busy. 

Hope you're all keeping well x

Hi WB Sounds like you've all had a nice day doing your bits and bobs. Glad you've got some medicine on the way.  Did you get your shopping delivery yet? Stay well. xx

Glad to hear the medicine is on the way . Making soup sounds great .

We do have food tea. We have a delivery slot every Wednesday with Asda. It makes me feel a bit guilty I have a "guaranteed slot" every week for the next 12 Wednesday's but I can't necessarily use it every week. The minimum spend is £40. But grateful I do have access to one. 

We made soup. Even youngest tried it (she didn't want enough to be a meal but smalls steps!) We just used the peelings from other meals we've made. Older two had lasagne for dinner.  We've pretty much stuck to the meal plan consistently which I'm surprised at considering a lot more snacks seem to be being eaten.

That sounds like progress! Well done youngest

I thought they might have waived the £40 minimum spend for some.  A lot of people might not be able to afford/spend this particularly elderly people on their own and those on very tight budgets like you.

Hi WB I wouldn't feel guilty. You need the slot and that's what it's there for. You might struggle with 3 children anyway - Hubby and DD saw a family of 2 adults and a child turned away from Mr T's when they were waiting in the shopping queue to get in, so it's true that stores are doing this even though they say they're not. Not sure why one of the adults didn't just stay and do the shop unless it dawned on them afterwards that they could have done that and they went back Have a good day. xx

I have done tomorrow's shop. It's exactly £40 and £3.50 delivery. It is nice to have access to fresh milk/bread/fruit and veg especially though. It feels like a real luxury! 😳

There isn't much schooling going on today. It seems no one is in the mood. I guess there will be days like this. They've done the very basics and I'm leaving it at that for now. Will try again later.  DD needs help putting elastic in the waist on her homemade skirt and I think we will make something nice for dinner. 

Hope you're all keeping well x
