glad you are up and about and making the best. I agree about shopping its almost pre MSE liberating - remember when you used to buy what you fancy and didn't worry about the cost - EXCEPT now its buy what you can find and don't worry about the budgetI think I saw you in an ice cream parlour
Drinking milk shakes, cold and long
Smiling and waving and looking so fine7 -

another_casualty said:You're still in fine form DIA , great to see😼
if you're doing the wall paper stripping yourself , I'd look at Homebase / b&q / Argos
years ago I got a cheap steamy one from Argos, and a scraper and found it therapeutic .
This was in the days of buying from store and not online .If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

Thanks everyone
I’m ready to crack and go to the shops as I am desperate for some milk so I can have a decent cup of tea. Also a bit worried by still not being able to get hold of toilet roll…
Today’s meal will be a turkey curry with frozen cauliflower rice. Can’t find much in the way of fresh fruit and veg.
Tried to log on to add to my delivery order. There is a 2 hour wait to get on to the site. Going to try again between 1-5am, should be fewer people then.
I now have the wallpaper stripper. Yay! Step one.
I have 5 borders in the garden. The gardeners are due next week (fingers crossed)
But I will be weeding and tidying up out there anyway to help them out. I’m gardening in 20 minute slots as my health issues make it hard to do this for longer.
1X20 minutes complete
Washing done and out drying X2
Dishes X3
I hope everyone is okay.

I hope you can get hold of toilet roll DIA. We're starting to run a bit low 😱. We have a Mr T order coming today but can't get a delivery slot for another one as there are none available
. We ordered as much as we could and I hope most of it comes. About £20 worth has been cancelled already
.
Anyway I'll be able to brave the shops again in five days. I think small hit and runs on shops are more successful than big shops at the moment.
Your garden will be looking spick and span soon 🌺🌷.
