    I hope Babs is ok 🙏

    I didn’t used to like natural yogurt until I tried Skyr, it’s gorgeous, so creamy. 

    It certainly feels weird buying non essentials right now but really why should it. The shops are desperate for our custom and we need to keep them going if we can.

    Hope you had a good day at work today and enjoyed your catch up with your bestie xx

    I'm with you on the Skyr, Sun_Addict.... I get through 2 big pots a week! Hard to believe it's fat free.

    Lol at you being petty with your daughter. Totally the sort of thing I do. My 16yr old was vile this morning, so I kept being super jolly knowing she hates that 😂

    I am with you on the never shopping for non essentials again. Although I did order some stuff from a garden centre today. Well a friend did, and got about five of us to join in, its been delivered to hers so I will collect it tomorrow morning. Apparently its in her garage so all above board. And I want to make the front garden a bit nicer if we do decide to sell later this year. 
    Glad it's not just me, I left her a note this morning to tell her I had taken the dog out and signed it love mum  so she knows I still love her even though she is a pain in the backside 😀

    Doing a bulk order with friends is a good idea, it saves them having to deliver to multiple addresses, my local garden centre are doing delivery but you have to spend £40 and while I could easily spend that much I don't want to at the moment 😊

    Babs was ok when I left for work but I won't see them now until tomorrow so will check on her in the morning 

    I haven't tried Skyr yogurt, I will try that next time, they are meant to be high in protein 😊

    Maybe I will go back to M&S and see if they have got any leggings or joggers I can wear to and from work, hopefully the fitting rooms will be open 

    It was good seeing my bestie today,we had a good laugh 😀

    Glad you got to see your bestie. That must be good. I love my work colleagues and the team I am working with now so it is really making my work day so much better having them to have a good laugh with. Hope Babs is ok. x

    To be honest most of the people I work with are really nice, there are a couple who I find difficult but you can't get on with everyone can you, I met my bestie when we both started working for this hospital 27 years ago 😊

    Babs is looking ok today, I soaked some chicken pellets in warm water to see if she would eat that and she did eat some of it so that's a good sign😊

    Great news that she is eating. 
    I love it when you have a good relationship with the people around you. It really does make it easier. x
