Starting Afresh Back Home

Jessy103

After not even working a full day at home, my supervisor rang me to advise that the company will be closing until further notice and we will be claiming for the 80% pay from the government. I cancelled the appointments that my engineer was due to go out to and now I'm done. It's sad and I can't help but worry about money and if I will have a job to go back to but I understand why they have done it. The pay for March has already been sent, I got my payslip today so that won't be affected. Now I have a lot of time to read my books and cross-stitch! BF will also be finishing today until further notice.

I went to the C0 0p today and managed to get a decent basket full which will last us over a week. My dad had a trip to t3sc0 and got some bits I wasn't able to get or refused to pay for - the cereal in the C0 0p is extortionate and I like my t3sc0 own brands. Still no loo rolls in either shop!! I did find myself wiping down all the packaging with an anti bacterial wipe when I got home.

Not much else to report at the moment, I guess we'll see what happens next!

Take care and stay safe x

Hopefully the government help sold ensure both companies can keep their heads above water until this is over.

I confess that I bought a chocolate bar when I went out - if government has added off licences to shops allowed to stay open because alcohol is essential, I figured I was allowed to pop in to newsagent for some chocolate. Washed it with soap and water when I got in (don’t normally buy plastic wrapped chocolate, but needs must!)!!

Sorry to hear the news Jessy, I guess working for the same company does leave you more exposed. Good you managed to get the payday in first though, so at least you have that as a certainty and like you've said you've got the skills to make sure you get the absolute most out of the money that you do get

Thanks Vix and SC. We'll be fine, I'm sure of it. 

We finished Doc Martin and have now started The Last Ship, it's about a USA navy ship that ends up being the last ship while a pandemic wipes out most of the population, probably not the best thing to watch in the current situation but a very good show none the less. 

Tonight's tea was veg supreme pizza from the C0 0p, was more than I would usually pay for a pizza but was well worth it! 

Take care and stay safe x

Love the TV choice - you can wow people with your knowledge about patterns of transmission and infection rates and they will think you're a super science supremo 😂

Erm... I tend to be concentrating more on watching the very nice looking gentlemen in their uniforms

Ah, now initially I didn’t think that sounded like my cup of tea in the circumstances... but on reflection maybe I would enjoy  it! 😂

Ladies, ladies, you've just set back womens' lib 30 years 😂! Although I'm not one to talk, have been suggesting to BF since we first got together that I could be a kept woman but he's been strangely reluctant....😢

The Captain is played by Eric Dane (you may know him from Grey's Anatomy) and good gosh, he's a handsome chap! 

Ah to be a kept woman, cooking, baking and gardening all day! That's the dream right there 😂

Jessy, you're getting a bit 1950's surburbia again there - I mean lounging around drinking and bunging the occasional load of washing through  (plus s*xual favours should he get a bonus/pay rise) - I would be a modern kept woman 😂😂😂
