You are sounding well AC. Glad your Mr T delivery arrived without issues.

Back to waking up too early and feeling crappy for a couple of hrs. Felt better around 9.30 am
One thing I always do is to avoid having a lie in . I always shower and shave etc. The amount of people with bog brush beards over the last few years on tv seems weird. Even the women seem to have them . Anyway, busy morning.
I had to cancel standing order to mr trainer . That's a breather for a few weeks . I sent email to citizens advice, and the nice lady there got back to me very quickly .  She agrees that I should accept the offer. Unfortunately for me, next year I will be assessed all over again , and another battle awaits. I'll leave that there for now.
I looked at the online courses sent to me, and i must admit I'm not filled with enthusiasm.
I enquired about:Basic `Microsoft word&Excel, Basic. practical Maths,Basic Book keeping,Essential IT Skills,Social Media Skills-Work and personal,Business administration introduction. Obviously, i think one course at a time with ,Microsoft being first.
I received a response with password etc but haven't looked at it just yet. I did leave a message on the work related guy to give him an update ,and he may call back . no big deal. I have to tidy up the flat shortly. 
I did have a dabble with recording music and dug out an fx pedal . Took me a while how to sort the looper out but I've lost interest for now . 
I'll leave it there...

Thanks beanielou😼
Yes , every little helps . 

I've just browsed Tesco for some more bits but all of their delivery slots are full . 😾Waitrose are worse than crap , and after finally managing to re register with them , there is no way I can shop online . Tbh , the main thing I need is mince meat . I could go to the local Sainsbury's , but I'm wary . I'll check the opening hrs and I may brave it in the morning 
It looks like the gvt have made Tesco the only place I can get priority shopping . I may try again tomorrow also , but it doesn't look good .  I'll have to think..

I just got through to the Tesco helpline and I was told that they have delivery slots daily .
I'll check tomorrow morning 🤞

hi,  haven’t posted for a long time but still follow.  with tesco online, they still say on their websites no carrier bags for home delivery or click and collect.  however for over a month all mine have come in bags.  it’s the only way they can do it in the most hygienic way.  first time last night i didn’t get a slot for three weeks time.  i stay up to midnight and get in the queue as soon as it opens, but was not successful last night...not sure yet want i will do that week.

Thanks saving more 😼
I'm not sure how the booking slots work. According to the guy I spoke to, he said that more slots are created every day and I should get something if I keep checking, or words to that effect . He did mention flexi slot .
Maybe after 9 am when they have more staff ? I'll keep persisting randomly throughout the day and see what gives ..

I looked for alternative supermarkets via the App Store .
morrisons turned off their app settings , Sainsbury's wouldn't let me register . I found Asda and have a delivery on Sunday afternoon . 26 th April ( 10 days time )£4 delivery but worth it . 😼👍

£4 is definitely worth it for a delivery and 10 days is not too far off. I am registered for Mr A so may try it for myself instead of 0cad0 where the delivery charge is £6.99!
