    My DGD is 4 today so was very excited , she has a princess bike. She said my singing was not good when I sang happy birthday to her. 
    Happy Tuesday. 
    🤣🤣🤣🤣.   Bad news on not being allowed on the bike either!😀

  • Trip to work was ok yesterday , my work area was deserted as ever, I visited my desk and it felt strange to be there. I quickly went to where I should be and got on with the job I went in for. Next week you can book a desk in work , we are going from 400 desks to 35 , I don't think many people will be taking up the offer. Our CEO did another briefing and he just said stay where you are, stay safe and we are ok financially which is good to hear. He promised a big party after Covid is over 🎉🎉🎉. 
    The road next to my flat doesn't seem any less busy but definitely more joggers this morning . I am hoping my weekly trip to the supermarket tomorrow is problem free as I have my parents shopping list as well. 
    Best get on with some work.

  • Your CEO sounds great.
    The roads were the same heading into the city centre this morning. Not like last time when they were eerily quiet 
    I find a trip to click and collect exciting now x

  • I feel that my employers have been fantastic during the Pandemic , our CEO likes to party himself 😂. 
    Today have been super busy, done my shopping picked up Xmas pudding, crackers , wrapping paper and some cards . Got my stamps as the post office is in the Aldi store. There were no empty shelves just the toilet rolls were a lot less than normal but everything else was in abundance. I forgot DGS 's pizza for later so will have to stop at Mr T on the way back from school. 
    I have had to have the emergency repair team out today as my ceiling seems to have cracked .it looks like it needs a new piece of plasterboard but it isn't going to fall down yet ☹️. Not looking forward to the mess when that happens . Just going to put my bedding onto wash and then have lunch.

  • Blimey we have been given from 23rd December to 4th Jan off without using any leave , what amazing employers I have . 
    The GKs were very restrained after school tonight, I think they were both tired . I enjoyed a nice walk after the workman had been to look at my ceiling . 
    Hope tomorrow is dry as well.
