All quiet on the western front and am happy to just get through the day.

Is your shoulder better? i hope so.

ginnyknit

Thank you yes, shoulder thawed out now, thank goodness. However theres an issue with the bicep leftover from it all so sewing etc can only be done in short spurts but thats fine. Lot less pain than before.....aaaahhh.....and relax...

Have a lot of stuff ready to post for sale or giveaway but the roads here are cut off due to a  road widening project and a burst to the water supply for all of Manchester! Apparently we had a swimming pool on the main road, wish I had known could do with a swim. We cant get in and out so not expecting people to try and collect things at the moment.

New grand daughter is a cuite and because we had to be her bubble I get to cuddle a couple of times a week.

It's so nice that you can see granddaughter Ginny. I hope the bicep heals and  you can still do a bit of your project work. Let's hope the water and building project are sorted as soon as possible so you can make some sales. I dont think i have anything left to sell! In the summer i will do surveys to make money.

We finally got our roads back to almost normality. The main road will be a while before the widening project is finished and hopefully they wont break any more pipes. Its just nice to not see frustrated drivers going round and round the block and not finding a magical open road - I felt so sorry for them but explaining the unmarked 3 mile diversion was just too complicated for me. 

Selling restarted  in earnest and gifted some stuff to people who needed craft stuff but had no income so that was good. As long as it all goes and I have my pot full I dont mind how it goes.

Hubby was inoculated today, one of us down, one to go!

Hurrah for vaccine for husband. We are getting there and things will be better much soon when we are vaccinated. Well done on selling. Fantastic news.

Hello ginny are you ok my lovely?

ginnyknit

I cant believe I have been absent for so long. I am ok thank you Savingwannabe. Just keeping occupied as Ive been struggling with lockdown, well more because my Mum reached an all time low. She has been amazing till the last few weeks then we got to see her and she popped right back to her old self.

I have been getting the polytunnel set up and have lots of seeds sprouting upto the light already. My daughter bought me a stretchy hosepipe to add to the short one I already have so thats made life much easier.

Had a few success's raising my savings pot  and finally have hubby getting rid of stuff too - YAY!! Thank goodness the charity shops are starting to take donations again, I actually went in and took stuff but didnt buy anything - the process continues slowly.

Hope everyone is doing well too.

Sorry to hear about your mum Ginny and that you’ve been struggling. Hopefully now things are lifting a little and the weather is getting warmer we can all get out more and see loved ones & friends and fragile mental health issues will begin to ease. 

Yay to increasing your savings and decluttering 🤗

You have been so busy but i am glad you are well. Your mum will really appreciate what  you have done, hopefully as the weather gets brighter she might feel better. What a horrid year it has been for those sheltering. Well done on getting Mr Ginny on board with sorting his things. The polytunnel sounds brill. I havent done a thing yet as been so busy. Looks like i will be getting my veg from you all this summer. hugs, swxxxxxx
