PA is worth doing but a lot of the others are a waste of time. You're doing so well with not spending .

Beanie lidl should have deliveries of hand gel this week and are limiting it. Along with pharmacies (more expensive though) 

Tea we couldn't even get sugar in our local @sda yesterday! Still no pasta. I think I must be missing the refill time? And by the time I get there it's gone again. 

Our schools are still open. However I am really considering pulling them out if it continues to escalate over the weekend.

I enjoy the PA surveys HHD and for me the money is pretty good for the time I spend on them. It's just being on the laptop to catch them popping up. I amaze myself at what I don't spend sometimes lol although I have got a load of wool to knit up that's keeping me busy this week. I'm very cheap to keep though xx

Oh blimey! No sugar would be a complete catastrophe for hubby! We seem to have all the basics here so if you want anything I'll do my best to get some things for you. I wonder if it's the supermarkets that are being affected the most rather than the bargain stores - which we have plenty of. 

The school that's closed over here is shut for one week for deep cleaning. Otherwise they're all still open as per the PM's instructions today. I sort of see where he's coming from but had to smile when they said children not in school could cause a bigger problem by meeting up in groups in public places. Hardly! Under normal circumstances they tend to naturally put themselves in isolation in their bedrooms on their gadgets lol. xx

Yes indeed, only emerging from their smelly undergrowth to be fed and watered

Day 13/31, Spends, Surveys etc. all the same as yesterday. Stress levels - a little higher than normal!

I've been security compromised on some store cards and Paypal so I've spent a good chunk of the day sorting that out. Must admit apart from PayPal the one that made me panic the most was Mr T who'd been very mean and locked me out of my account. The thought of having to go shopping isn't appealing at the best of times but thankfully it was sorted out fairly quickly over the phone and I can still fill my basket from the comfort of the sofa

DS had to fill in some details at school today to ensure he can access any work that's set for him. This is definitely all part of their C-19 master plan although he seemed rather put out that they'd had such a brainwave lol. I think he had visions of doing what he wanted for weeks on end if/when schools start to close. I hope there's a night shift of teachers because if he still has to get up early that will really annoy him   

ETA - the store cards are just loyalty cards with points on, Boots, Iceland etc. Thankfully nothing that you can spend money on but even so, it all feels very intrusive.

Blimey, what a bumble bee.
So glad that you are getting it sorted out  xx

Thanks Beanie. It's all sorted now and everything is fine. There's not much in PP but it's still there which is the main thing. Honestly, there's always something isn't there. Hope you've had a good day. xx
