I've been up for an hour and I'm already thinking about a nap.......I'm so tired lately.......I'm wondering if it's just a reaction to the current situation, I have an overwhelming desire to get into bed and stay there at least until September, I'm ok at work and manage to go about my day in the normal way but as soon as I come home I just can't concentrate to do anything, sleeping doesn't require any thought or organising, I have lots to do today but I just want to go back to bed 

I felt like that last week OBL. I was fine at work, but as soon as I got home I felt exhausted and lethargic. I think it's stress and a reaction to all the strangeness around us. I think it's caused by your mind trying to adjust to all the changes in our lives. Hopefully it will pass. I feel quite different this week. If you nap you may have trouble sleeping tonight, so try to keep going .

I think your right Hairy, it's all a bit surreal at the moment, normally I love not having to go anywhere knowing I can potter about at home but for some reason now I know I can't just go out as and when I want to I don't want to stay at home ....... bloomin contrary if you ask me 😀
I resisted a nap and kept myself busy because I fell asleep yesterday and felt awful when I woke up 🙄

I managed to resist taking a nap and have kept myself busy today, I just need to focus on one thing at a time get that done and then move onto the next thing ......one day at a time..... 

So I cleaned up the kitchen, polished downstairs and hoovered everywhere, I washed DD 2s bedding and my uniforms and got them dry in the garden,I've also done the daily chicken clean I just need to top up their food and water for tomorrow

I then spent a couple of hours sewing in the garden,I haven't done any of it for ages because I couldn't be bothered but I made myself pick it up today, it was nice to be able to sit out in the sun to do it as well,there isn't an awful lot left of it to do so I should be able to finish it before my needles arrive

Ive just put a potato in the oven because I've defrosted some spag Bol for my tea but I fancied a jacket potato instead of pasta 😊

Another day of work done, the day got off to a bad start because the taxi I booked for 7am didn't arrive until 7.20 🙀I have to start work at 7.30 and it takes ten minutes at least to drive there, I phoned them up and complained,it wont do any good though because they just don't care,I stopped using this company ages ago because they are so unreliable but they then bought out the company I was using instead so I will have to try a different one now

Work was very quiet all day so I was bored and the day dragged by really slowly, I'm done now for two days though so silver linings and all that 

It was so nice to come home to a clean and tidy house after yesterday's efforts,I have to get some shopping tomorrow because we are down to our last carton of soya milk,I haven't been able to get any over the last  couple of days, it's alright the government saying try not to go shopping more than once a week but if you can't find what you need what are you supposed to do, tomorrow I will try my local shopping centre, there is a co op there so hopefully they will have some

Good luck with your shopping. I hope the queues arent too long. On a side note has anyone else noticed the lack of larger sizes of items. I could only byt a small box of tea last time I went shoppoing a bit rediculous when people are at home more. There was no empty space on the shelf. Hoping this is just temporary. Large size packets of cornflakes and bags of frozen peas have also disappeared. All these are Mr S own brand so is it just part of their store choice reduction. However it does mean I have to shop more frequently for these items.

Enjoy your two days off. Sewing in the garden sounds absolutely lovely as well. Hope today is a really lovely day weather wise so that people can get into the garden. x

How annoying about the taxi.  I hate having to get taxis, only use them if I really have to.  They let me down a lot when I broke my ankle 3 years ago - left me waiting for an hour sat in a wheelchair outside in the freezing cold   The selection of items in the supermarkets seems to be less so they can offer more of the basics. I've noticed a lot of the value ranges have gone to make way for the higher priced equivalents which I think is very naughty of them.

Hi and thanks,I didn't go to the co op in the end I just went down to my local Tesco while out walking B, luckily there wasn't a queue so I was able to go right in ,they have a one way system in place now which makes life makes life a bit easier, my Sainsburys had large sizes last time I went in but that was a little while ago now

Sewing in the garden was lovely but I won't be doing it today because it's turned cold here , I just had to wear my coat when I went out, it's good windy weather for drying the washing though

I hate getting taxis too SA,but that's because I don't like having to make conversation with the driver 😂 there's no buses early on a Sunday that would get me to work on time so I don't have a choice sadly 

Hmmmm cutting basic ranges in favour of higher priced items is very naughty but I'm not surprised 😟
