We have latex gloves too, mainly because of cleaning up after the various animals.

If you aren't going to use your car again, best to get rid when you can. As for beauty routines , doing my own eyebrows, upper lip. Painting nails , as for the hair well I will have grey roots by this time next week , but not worrying about it. 

Enjoy your weekend

Well beauty treatments - all on hold now - my nail extensions are going to look very odd soon!  I've bought some good nail oil and cuticle cream ready for the weird nails that will appear from underneath. Also the nail polish and foot file are ready for when the last pedicure wears out!  Don't even go there re hair!  I was due cut and highlights week after next!  Not sure what I'm going to do here!  

Re my work from home routine - get up at 8am, shower, breakfast, fire up the laptop at 9am and work till 12 with a couple of coffee breaks so I can get up and stretch. Then go for a walk for c.40 mins and have quick lunch. Work till 5pm with coffee breaks then knock off!😁

I agree with sunshine_girl if the car isn't being used sell it ASAP.  It will just start getting damp, things will stick, batteries will flatten etc etc

I have sold a few of my and DC kids on ebay.  Probably not the most money you could get but a bit safer than private sales. Depends on the car really.  Garages won't take a car in Part Exchange if you are not buying.

Alternatively I have heard that we buy any car dot com are fair if not generous, but only if the car is in very good condition - if not they will take hundreds off for stuff that an ebayer wouldn't notice

Your thread is so lively at the moment - I can hardly keep up, but hoping you are keeping well and safe

Thank you. Yes I agree with you both and as soon as this virus is over I will get rid of it. 
Sunshine_girl2 well done with your beauty measures

I’ve not been able to buy w-u-liquid since my return. It was cancelled from my online shop too. Yesterday I managed to buy some from an independent company I discovered on my retreat. They make bio/sanitised products but are cheaper and I think better than 3cover. I bought hand wash and laundry liquid too. All large sizes so I won’t have to give those items headspace for a long time now. Until the delivery I am washing dishes with soap powder! 

The virus has forced me to reflect on being at the mercy of supermarkets and I will change the way I shop now as I intend to do this every year. I have also switched my veg box to fortnightly from monthly. Positive changes

Although I saw the benefits of driving I can’t say I loved it the way I do cycling.  It is great. A shorter cycle today just 30 minutes.

Going to clean my door and letter flap today with antibac stuff after something I just heard on the radio...

I was able to do some creative work yesterday, not loads but some

Some washing done and drying outside.

Found some wine and chillies in the freezer. Its like Ready-Steady-Cook and the ingredients suggest a chilli, so that’s that. 

I hope you are all safe and well

Neighbour drilling next door. No escape except the garden. 
Two hours gardening. The grass is cut, sweeping, more weeding of borders. 
Back indoors and it is all quiet again. Bliss.
