I only ever do the square part now for the big clothes shop.
I did pick DD up from the food bit and oh my I was wanting to get out. I didn't see one hand wash station or sanitiser and because it's a food area, very few masks even when people were wandering around.
I find it claustrophobic in there normally but under this pandemic wouldn't risk it again. I haven't done the main mall so can't comment on that bit xSeptember 2017 Debt = £25330

I'm sorry about your ceiling and hope it can be sorted without too much mess. Mind you our bedroom ceiling has looked like that for 17 years and hasn't fallen down yet 😂😱 .
Your lakeside walk looks beautiful, water and greenery are so calming and nurturing to the spirit 🌲🌳. I'm glad you met your friend too. I'm not surprised you feel isolated as you work from home. I bet it did you a lot of good.
It's really nice of you to get Christmas sorted out for your parents 🎄. Enjoy the rest of your weekend 🙂.Finally Debt Free After 34 Years, But Still Need to Live Frugally

When I’m putting on hand sanitiser at shop entrances I’ve noticed I’m often the only one using it, people just walking past it. Granted they may be using their own but it makes me wonder... It irritates my skin but I still put it on then wash it off and put on lots of hand cream as soon as I get home. I’ve also noticed the ‘disposable’ gloves making a comeback even though we’ve been told they do more harm than good.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)2

Well another weekend been and gone. On Saturday I went to pick a lamp up for my mum and dad , well after lots of huffing and puffing it was decided it wasn't fit for use , that involved me going to the big Mr S Argos and returning it .Luckily there was no queue so in and out in 15 mins. This led to the housework being started late but it all got done.Sunday was about getting the ironing done, prepping some meals for the week and watching the new series of The Crown, I have just watched the last episode , I hope they do another one.Work today has been manic , I am sure there was a full moon last night that makes people act in strange ways . Anyway it made for a quick day.I enjoyed I'm a celebrity last night will watch again tonight.Off to wash up and then sit down.Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.3

😂 at your Mum not liking the colour of the prop,that's the sort of thing my Mum would do, I am glad there was no water involved in your ceiling breaking,you don't need that complication. I've been thinking of watching The Crown but can't make my mind up, I might give it a go tomorrow if I'm daft enough to finally do my ironingOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,510 Owed = £11,1202
