There'll always be food banks unfortunately , so I'll keep all the stuff that won't go off( subject to room), and arrange for it to be collected when it's safe to do so
Speaking of groceries , I did my first online shop with Tesco . It will arrive tomorrow sometime .The only thing I'm baffled about is that after paying I'm told that it won't be arriving in bags . Not sure if I should add to that .I've gone through most of the paperwork and my 2 leather document holders are getting very full . My universal credit one is overfull. The course one is catching up . The music / gas room is finally finished . That is except for the jobs that are needed to be done hopefully by James . The holes left from the boiler need to be filled , and I will see if it's best to have a cupboard made to cover the boiler . The room has my computer and music equipment , plus the table from the front room , and a few other bits all put to one corner of the room.
It's nice that after all the procrastination , I've finally made decisions that I'm happy with .
I recorded something on my computer , and shared it on soundcloud . Just practice really , but it's putting me in the right frame of mind to be doing something . I may transfer some more CDs to my hard drive and have everything to hand eventually . I've just been watching the floogles. I missed paw patrol. Not too keen on the little princess . Time for a shower

I tried to change my order with Tesco to include carrier bags . Impossible !There is nobody available on the phone, which just cuts off. The search facility doesn't know what a carrier bag is . So tomorrow, the driver will have to unload the stuff from the basket placing all items outside my door . I was trying to make things easier all round . Oh well , I'll know better next time .I had a good chat with mr trainer on the phone today . I won't have to make any more payments till June . I will need to get a couple of basic bits of kit for home training in time .
it won't be cheap though as the prices of home workout kits has rocketed since this virus .
No panic yet , as I have enough to get by. He will be phoning me up on a weekly basis and will keep sending me video workouts for the foreseeable . I've done my exercise today ..1 -
AC do you have a crate or box you could leave at the front door so the delivery driver can unload into that? I've never done an online order so can't advise.Debt free and Keeping on Track3

Good idea mrs p . 😼That seems the thing to do. I flattened the box I got from the gvt. I'll tape that up. I feel sorry for driver . I'll know next time ..3

If you can find a crate at some stage you can use it for delivery purposes and give it a spray and wipe down with anti bac stuff each time it is used.
Have a good day

I have always declined carrier bags from Sburys online. However, as self isolating and the delivery driver not able to enter premises, all products are delivered in carrier bags and left on doorstep. Tsco may do same.3

I'm sure I read in the weekly update email from Tesco, that they won't be delivering in carrier bags. No idea why though.

Well, I've just received delivery from Tesco's before the 4-5 pm slot . Very good . Everything came in carrier bags and worry over . Thanks for your support there 🛒
Today , I was in good form .
All morning I was recording more music and sharing . 2 weeks ago was the last time the work related guy spoke to me . I hope he is okay . When we last spoke , he sent an email with a list of o line courses that could help me while I'm stuck in . I wasn't in the right frame of mind , but will probably look tomorrow ( maybe this evening ) and see if there is anything that may help . I'll send email tomorrow to citizens advice and see what gives .I just received an email from my aware ( myasthenia gravis Charity ) and have to renew my membership . If I had money I'd donate . May do once I get straight . I'll leave it there 😼...4
