Great to catch up on your diary SA..you’re sounding very focussed and so glad you’re on the virtual frontline doing what you can. I really hope this awareness of who real key workers are in our society lingers for a bit. And Boris remembers, after his stint in Tommy’s, who really makes the NHS tick...anyway, thank you for what you're doing. Alongside being a FT carer for Mr SA too. You’re a machine my lovely.
Enjoy Mr Wicks. I havent succumbed yetbut planning on a yoga class today from the local studio as well as the usual 5k run with DD1. The run is getting to be a habit now..happy day. A silver lining in the midst of all this uncertainty and pain.

My daft neighbour had a barbecue last weekend and there were loads of people thankfully the police came and told them to go home but you would think she would know better as she's a carer ........beggars belief really xxNEXT TARGET: Halifax credit card DEC 22 £0 / £4499.12POAMAYC 2011 £6378.35 POAMAYC 2012 £5000.78POAMAYC 2013 £3480.04 POAMAYC 2014 £4085.14POAMAYC 2015 £7565.24 POAMAYC 2016 £8000.90 POAMAYC 2017 £7278.80 POAMAYC 2018 £13208.18POAMAYC 2019 £13309.28 POAMAYC 2020 £15026.056

Yes I hope the NHS will be remembered and rewarded after this is all done.There are a lot of people working hard in the background right now to keep things running.Just having a quick lunch break then back to the learning - it’s endless 😱I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)7

Good luck with your learning SA, it sounds exhausting!
We used a signal booster (before we had our router moved to right outside the office) and it definitely makes a difference.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

I’ve had some chuckles at FB stories that do not tally one little bit. An elderly couple with health problems I know, are under strict orders from their sons not to leave the house - they keep posting these ‘I’ve not been out’ quotes on when I know for a fact the go around to the supermarket a couple of times a week. Then their sons take food around to them and sit at the gate chatting- couple nearly slipped up saying they already had milk........oh what a tangled web we weave, when first we practice to deceive...... I wish they’d stay in and stay safe.....
Well done with the delivery slots.January spends - £587.586 -
It facinates me in my street.
A lot of older neighbours & in the vulnerable groups.
A lot of them going out & some of them having blooming visitors!!!I am a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Mortgage Free Wannabe & Local Money Saving Scotland & Disability Money Matters.

Evening all.A neighbour across the road who is over 70 has her son and grandson visit every day in separate cars but at the same time. Next door to her have had their son and grandkids there today.
Finished the training, I’m all trained out, absolutely exhausted with it. A lot to take in in such a short space of time. A tad nervous about taking my first call on Monday but once I’ve done one I’ll be fine and the guidance is really good. Our IT and policy staff are doing a brilliant job in totally uncharted waters to make sure this happens 👏
The past few days have been all consuming so I’m looking forward to a relaxing weekend.Did Joe’s PE this morning and C25K tonight. Also done my Spanish learning.And breathe...I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)8 -
I'm sure you'll do a really good job on Monday SA. They wouldn't ask you if they didnt' think you could do it.
Well done on the exercise and Spanish.
