Good to hear you're eating regular real meals now, you need to keep healthy too. Do you think you'll stick to weekly shopping after this is over?  Mr SA isn't really seeing much difference either, he rarely goes out and our only visitors are DS and the GKs once a fortnight, all parents are long gone, I don't have siblings and Mr SA rarely sees his.  

Take care and stay strong xx

Sorry to hear about the voucher issues with the school. Do the girls go to a different school to DS? If so, is it the same with both schools?

I had a phone call on Thursday from DS2’s school asking what supermarket I wanted my voucher for. By Friday I had a £15 Tesco voucher. DS1 goes to an academy, and thus far they have only emailed asking me to confirm all my details and to remind DS1 that he can go in for lunch each day as long as he wears his uniform. Erm, no thanks!! We will stay in our little bubble thank you very much Xx

All smalls at an academy Lucky. Well until the end of this school year. DS high school is a 'state' school. Who surprisingly have actually been more help than his current school. 

SA hopefully will keep the weekly shopping now. It's actually made a really really big difference. But it also means more of a budget too. So we will see. But for now its so nice. 

Another week into isolation. It isn't too bad. Cleaning is still high. Youngest fell down stairs today into the baby gate and hurt her face. In the process of trying to save her spilt bleach all over the both of us and completely ruined my only pair of jeans/trousers. Good job we aren't leaving the house! She was just in PJ's. Her face is okay. It could have been worse but there was lots of tears. 

Take care x

Hope DD2 is ok. 

Why do you still have a baby gate? 🤔. X

Hope the little one isn't too sore today.  It really must be the season for falling as Mr SA had a nasty fall yesterday and also Beanie.

Hope DD is ok today.  Sorry about the jeans.

She's fine I feel guilty though.  She has a bruised face 😔

Beanie the baby gate stops her going up alone and stops her getting to the front door. She can't open it herself she had been upstairs with me and the other two but then decided to follow me down instead of waiting for me to go get her.

I hope the bruising goes down quickly. I think it must be a 'thing' right now given other peoples' experiences in earlier posts. DH managed to give himself a black eye while chopping wood last week (could have been a lot worse). It's about back to normal now.
I'm glad the weekly shops are helping.
I see what you mean about isolating, but we have to hold on to the fact that there will be people in isolation now who will, for reasons we don't yet understand, have immunity. Roll on the vaccine

Hope you have arnica 😊. X
