    Money wise , haven't spent anything other than shopping money and some new lightbulbs. The gym have frozen all our memberships so £42 saved there , I am going to put the money away in case we get furloughed and then can use it to make up the difference. The only think that will definitely go up is electricity owing to the laptop , mobile phone charging etc. However lighter nights so maybe not who knows.

    I thought my electricity bill might go up with working from home but they've just put it down by £10 a month. I'm only spending on groceries and once I've received my final online delivery this week I'll be only going out to get things we're desperate for so this spending will go down (hopefully).

    @milann you can put photos on via the icon at the top of the comments box that says attach image. I did mine from my phone.

    Thanks for photo info I’ll give it a go.
    Pleased to hear your weekend passed quickly. I’ve got to admit I’ve got straight into the routine I had when I was off work. Although I’m checking my e mails to see if there’s anything I need to do for work too.

    Bad bad news tonight my mother in law had symptoms of Covid19 , she sadly passed away tonight at home . My DD tried to revive her but she took couldn't . I want to be with my kids but can't . She was a big part of my life even now . I saw her 3 weeks ago surrounded by all her children . My children are gutted , and their dad will be the same . 
    Stay safe everyone.

    It's nice when you don't have the boredom feeling. I am trying to keep as occupied as I can for as long as I can, but it's going to get harder I think. x
