    I'm glad he's seen sense.  I looked at that list where it gives you a number from 1-9 priority you'd be saved if you fell ill, Mr SA was a 6, I think I've managed to get through to him finally that they would prioritise a lot of people over him.

    Isn't it strange how people react,I spend all my time trying to plan my activities so that I go out as little as possible,I love being at home pottering about knowing I haven't got to go anywhere, today all I want to do is go out anywhere 😀 i do get to go out with the dog later and I've got work tomorrow so will be allowed out then 😊 
    Stay safe xx

    Where did you see that list SA? I wonder where DH would be on the list with his diabetes.

    I hope you are all well. 
    Good things for today , I got to go out in the sunshine for my walk. Tesco local had lots of stock if you needed anything . Work colleagues have been amazing today keeping people's spirits up sharing laughs from our prospective homes. My dad finally getting the message to stay in. FaceTime with my DGC who seem unfazed . No snacks eaten between 9 and 5 . 
    Bad things , still too many people close together , customers complaining about lack of service from my employers , their expectations are way off. 
    Today has been busy work wise , non of us really know what is happening from one day to the next. 
    Keep safe . 


    Life is an adventure, never stop exploring.

  • I'm glad your day was good overall Sunshine :). Have a good evening.

    The smaller shops seem to have the best stocks. Hope everyone remembers them when this is all over. I work for a government department and can’t even begin to tell you what a nightmare this all is 😩
