The BBC say they won't - they can't realistically, they barely have the man power to do what they are doing now.
Sorry about Mr SA's chair incident.

The comments about checking peoples baskets was made by an over zealous police chief, the comments have now been refuted, honestly it's getting slightly ridiculous now,I haven't seen any police at all since this lockdown happened,I walk through my town centre after work at about 8.30 and there's non to be seen anywhere despite the fact that there are drunk or drugged up homeless people staggering around all over the place,it's like they think they don't have to patrol now because everyone should be at home, they have forgotten about people trying to get home from work who have to dodge these drunks all the time 😟

That’s really bad OBL ☹️ I haven’t seen any police about either.Already been to Mr T Express this morning, no queue, well stocked and got everything I needed. Cost a bit more than I’d normally pay but worth it to save hassle. I’ve got broccoli happy days 🥂 Couple of elderly blokes standing right next to people but apart from that quite a pleasant experience 👍I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

Yes I read that some police officers are being a bit over zealous and are enforcing government guidlines which are not backed up by law, instead of the new Health Protection Regulations which are backed up law.
I'm like you and dread shopping at the moment. I'm running out of diet coke and we'll need milk soon too, but I'm reluctant to go the shop 😒.

Video messaged the GKs earlier, they were well over excited. They’re enjoying the lovely sunshine and have a new paddling pool.Did the C25K this morning before it got too hot. Did some cleaning then relaxed in the garden although the dog has been driving me nuts forever bringing me her ball to throw, she never stops. Also done my Spanish learning for the day 👍HH we were running low on milk but could only get 4 pints, there’s only Mr SA who has milk in our house so we only get through 1 pint a week. At least it’s got a long date on it.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Poor Mr SA again...it’s amazing he doesn’t doesn’t do himself some real damage with the scrapes he gets himself into.
I bet the gks had a great time in the paddling pool - that’s what mine have been doing too.I had a lovely Easter card from eldest gdd this morning- all her own work. I love a homemade card.
Enjoy your few days off work. Hope you get to chill in the garden.January spends - £587.587 -
Afternoon
Hope everyone is well and enjoying the Easter break. I've been spending lots of time outside in the lovely sunshine but not actually left the confines of my garden. The dog has been having a whale of a time running about after her ball although annoying when every time I sat down she appeared from nowhere with the ball in her mouth. The weather is a lot cooler today so will be doing more indoor based things apart from the ball throwing for the dog now and again. There's just far too many people on the park across the road now, does it really take the whole family to walk a dog!!
I did a live Insanity class on You Tube yesterday and so far today I've done Joe Wicks PE and the Stretch for the NHS Hotpod yoga class.
Finances are done and I had an overspend of £17.65 last week.
Will be venturing out to local Mr T Express again tomorrow as we'll need bread, fruit and veg again. Just need to last through this week then I have a Mr M delivery for the next 2 weeks.
Training for the new role at work starts on Wednesday then the job starts next Monday. Should find out which aspect of it I've been allocated tomorrow. Thankfully I won't have to cancel my week off at the end of the month as it was booked beforehand but we can't book new leave. All hands on deck 😁

😂😂 at your little dog, B doesn't have a ball at the moment but she does have one of those twisted rope toys ( called Ropey 😊) we tell her to find Ropey and she goes mad ,I like to hide it round the house and then she sniffs it out 😊 well done on keeping fit during lockdown, I'm still walking as much as possible but not doing anything else, I keep saying I'm going to do a YouTube work out but it hasn't happened yet, we saw Mr Motivator had released some YouTube videos the other day 😀
Good luck with the training for your new role, how long are they not allowing you to book leave for as that seems unfair, we have been told to make sure we take our AL because we need the downtime and some members of staff who tried to cancel leave were told they aren't allowed because they need to have a breakOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8947
