    Thanks everyone, it's a combination of not going anywhere,the garage rent which I thought I had already had this month and B not being able to have her vaccinations yet, the vet messaged me today to say they are sorry they haven't been able to do her yearly booster because of lockdown and now because it's late they will have to do the whole course again but because it's their fault they will only charge the same price as what the booster would have cost, it's worked out in my favour because I had actually forgotten about her booster and didn't know they weren't actually able to do it, they are going to let me know as soon as it can be done but that will now come out of next months wages,I get paid in seven days so not long to wait

    Well after an awful nights sleep I got up at 9 to get ready for work but would have gladly stayed in bed for a few more hours, work was quiet again apart from a small adhock clinic that had just three patients on it, the afternoon dragged on and on and it was really hot, I'm hoping we won't have to keep wearing masks all through the summer because it's unbearable now and it's not that hot outside yet, our ward is like an oven in the summer and regularly reaches 28 degrees 😟

    Im home now and chilling out for a bit before bed, Im off tomorrow and have to go shopping, I'm trying Slimming world again so need to buy some more healthy food 😀 one of my colleagues said they are offering free membership to NHS staff at the moment but I can't find anything about it, It must be for those who normally go to meetings,I want to try the online version, they are doing virtual meetings at the moment but I'm not sure I'm up for that 😀

    It’s annoying when you’re willing to comply by the rules and others seem to think it doesn’t apply to them. The elderly lady across the road from me has had her sons and grandkids round every single day. Today she got out of a car with another elderly lady that I’ve never seen before and they both went in her house. 

    I hope you start to feel better mentally soon it’s a right roller coaster at the moment, I’m the same, some days I can cope, some days I can’t. I’m on the verge of can’t today 😩

    They just don't care do they 😡 I went outside and took it out on my garden in the end,I'm so close to going out there and asking them what the hell they think they are doing,they will be out at 8pm clapping for the NHS but they obviously don't really care 😡
