Got a message yesterday from DS - one of the other students in his apartment has tested positive for Covid so all 20 of them have to self-isolate. I guess it was inevitable that it would happen at some point & he sounded fine - apparently the boy who tested positive is well also.

Sunday some sunshine but mainly a damp & dreary day. Hm soup & hm croutons for lunch. Los for dinner - 3 different lots thereby saving money on food. DH spent a bit of time in the garage - cleaned/rust proofed the screws from the 2 garden chairs & put Danish oil on the chairs prior to storage. DSis & I binge watched J*hn W*yn* movies. I decluttered half a ball of wool into a scarf.
Another no spend day - MSE police please take note.

4 prs DH underpants
2 torn pillowcases
end of rags for recycling. I found two teatowels that need rehemmed so that will save some cash.They were in the ragpile along with ordinary towels that have gone in the middle. I am going to try to make the good bits into hand towels for the kitchen as small towels can be quite dear. More money saved.
1 blouse for charity shop. I looked at it and thought that I've at least four other blouses I'd wear before choosing this one, so off it goes.
