My journey to a debt free life

Onebrokelady

Another day at work done and it was another pleasant shift,I was allowed to leave 45 minutes early because we only had one patient left on the whole ward, this has never happened before and it's very weird, there were a few waiting to be triaged in the ED though so I expect a few of those will be kept in 
I have a nice week this week,I've now got two days off and a late on Monday then Tuesday and Wednesday off followed by a long day on Thursday, Friday off and a long day on Saturday, so five days in a row where I don't have to get up at 5.30 am🎉🎉🎉

Tomorrow I am going to go and do the shopping I should have done yesterday, then if it's a dry day I will be going back out in the garden to do some more chopping back of brambles and shrubs, I want to try and get more sun into the garden as at the moment it's got quite shady, I like some shade on my patio because when it used to get full sun all day it was too hot to sit out there sometimes, I do need a new patio umbrella but that will have to wait until I can access a shop that sells them

I'm also going to see if I can buy a small bag of grass seed in Wilkos tomorrow because I want to grow some grass in trays for the 🐓🐓to nibble ( 😂nibble is being optimistic and polite, they will rip it out in seconds ) they do like to eat grass which is why I no longer have a lawn,I have several small unused cat litter trays that will be perfect,so I'm going to use some of my home made compost to sew the seeds in and I'm then going to cover the tray with fine chicken wire, it only has small 1/2 an inch squares so that should stop them from eating it all in one go, if I sew four trays  I can rotate them so they have a good supply

I’m glad you’re getting your pain under control. 

Could you buy a garden umbrella online?

Great news about work. I have heard that the hospitals apart from the Covid, have been extremely quiet and there are less and less people visiting A&E and things like that. Such a strange situation. I know there will be less accidents with everyone staying at home so that will account for a lot. 
Have you been enjoying your garden chairs? 
I have tried to put grass seed down in my garden, but It just doesn't seem to grow at all. x

Your right a lot of hospitals apart from London maybe are very quiet, it's quite worrying because the amount of people turning up with things that turn out to be heart attacks or strokes has fallen dramatically and people won't have stopped having heart attacks and strokes.A lot of trusts have launched campaigns to tell people they must still come if its an emergency so hopefully that will work, it's really nice that we haven't got people turning up with things that aren't emergencies and I'm hoping that will last but the real emergencies need to come in 

Ive used my garden chairs a few times, it rained as soon as they arrived though so we haven't had much nice weather or it's nice on the days I'm at work, they will come in handy though when the proper warm weather arrives

Did you put anything out to scare away the birds because they will eat grass seed like it's going out of fashion, it also needs to be kept damp all the time

Wow I must have been tired last night,I didn't wake up until 11am this morning 🙀 this has put me behind with everything, it's been scorching hot day here today so I didn't feel like doing too much at all

I took B out for a walk and pegged out some washing, then me and DD went shopping, we didn't get back until 3pm so i had my lunch and I'm now trying to decide what to do next, it's still warm but the wind is getting up and it's starting to look a bit cloudy so I think the promised bad weather might be on it's way, I might go and do some bits in the garden shortly so at least I will have done something out there today

My leggings that I ordered arrived just now so I'm going to try them on later after my shower, the material is nice but they do look like they might be a bit big in the legs.
Ive been inspired by Sun Addicts home workouts so I'm going to start doing some of my own,I can't do anything that involves jumping around but DD showed me some YouTube videos of two ladies who I think I could work out with, one is called yoga with Adrienne and I think her work outs are suitable for me, I've forgotten the other one so will have to ask her what she was called
Today when I went shopping I didn't buy any cakes, biscuits or chocolate because if it isn't in the house I can't eat it, if I want something sweet I will either have walk down to the shop or make something, I think this is the only way I'm going to stop myself from eating junk all the time, it will also save me money because I won't be buying these products unless I'm desperate 😊

Thanks OBL. No, I didn't out anything out to scare the birds away.
I read that about strokes and heart attacks but out it down to less work stress. People might be stressed though because of lack of money or job so I guess it counters that out x

I read an article saying that there are fewer heart attacks and strokes because while people are working from home they are sleeping better, getting up and moving about more often and may be remembering to take medication better. Mind you I also read one that said there is a rise in visits to hospital on a Thursday night because people are suddenly more active when they go to clap the NHS and keyworkers. I shouldn't laugh.

That did make me laugh too 😂😂the article makes sense, I hadn't thought of it like that 😊

Really just goes to show how stressful some jobs are doesn't it, I'm kind of hoping that when we get back to "normal" peoples work habits will be able to be a bit more flexible, this has at least proved that it is possible for a lot of people to work from home and be able to work flexibly, I wonder how many companies will keep it up
