  • I think you're wise to go for a walk rather than the gym Sunshine, it's important to look after yourself. Are you in a vulnerable group? How do you feel about working from home?

  • Work have decided because I have a stent in my lung I am vulnerable, I am not arguing with them. Today working from home was surreal , but I stuck with it until 5pm my normal finishing time. However haven't got all the IT I need yet . I am sure I will get used to it eventually.

    I hope the government come up a package for small businesses, I think a lot will go under. 

    Working from home has been slightly better today, bit it is very isolating, but that's good. 
    The DGC will be speaking to their great grandparents on FaceTime from now on . 

    I am getting into a routine tomorrow to have some structure to my day , not sure what it will be yet . 
    Have sold 11 items on eBay this last weekend , around £70 made. 

    Off to shut the laptop for the day.

  • Good news on the ebay sales Sunshine :). Yes a structure is very important when working from home.

    Well done on the eBay sales. Lovely to hear your DGKs are cheering you up. I like working from home, it’s isolating but great not to have to get up so early or travel. I find it’s best to have a structure to the day and make sure you take screen breaks.

    Forgot to say if you’re missing the gym, Joe Wickes is doing a live workout on You Tube at 7pm tonight.

    Good news on your eBay sales - better £70 in your pocket than unwanted items about the place.
    You’ll get into a routine - bet you won’t want to go back. Think of the petrol money you’ll save 👍👏
