DH went to the pharmacy for me and collected medication, he said no one else was there and was straight in and out in minutes.
couple of loads of washing done, wood brought in, eggs collected and filling for meat and potato pie in the slow cooker.
Caught up with a few surveys, do need to go and sweep and mop kitchen floor but i'm putting it off until ive made pastry otherwise you can guarantee I will spill flour everywhere.

Lovely dog walk this afternoon after a morning of housework. 3 eggs today from chickens so had 2 for my lunch with some whoopsied bread so lunch cost pennies.
Caught up with some surveys and have ventured back onto swagbucks, as much as I hate the site the vouchers come in handy.
DD is overjoyed as I found a fab ice lolly (her fav)lurking in the bottom of one of the baskets in the freezer, little things .
Dh craving fish and chips from the chippy which is shut,so is having to make do with frozen out of the freezer.
Going to brave the supermarket tomorrow afternoon, its the posh one we have up north,  according to someone who works there it is less busy in the afternoon and shelves are restocked after lunch. So shopping will cost more but I will feel safer. Also need to order a veg box for next week and a meat delivery from the farm shop.

Hi PLMBL, lovely to hear from you, hope all is well.
Posh supermarket is one we have in the North west called B00th$, its a bit like Mr W but they tend to source from local farmers and producers, so most things like cheese, meat, bakery items all come from the local area which I love.

Morning.

All quiet in the pwps household, its supposed to be sunny out today but at the moment is overcast and windy, hopefully it will become nice later on.
DW and WM on, meal plan and shopping list done for the week, DS birthday next weekend he wants money but will see if I can get him something whilst shopping so he has something to open, bless him this isn't the 16th birthday he had planned but he's being upbeat about it and have told him he can have a party once things get back to normal.
Decluttered 4 items of makeup this morning into the bin, they are old and I don't use them, don't even know why I had held onto them, low on face cream but trying to eek it out as its my birthday in 2 weeks as the bodyshop usual send me a birthday voucher and are still doing online orders. Did find 2 clairins face scrub samples whilst tidying this morning so they will get used.

Roast pork for tea tonight with roast pots and veg, have placed my order this morning for a veg box delivery next week, quite exciting when it arrives as I never know what's going to be in it, little things. Need to get some baking done at some point as we have no treat items.

I also need to read some more of my book but struggling to get into this one and need to read it all as it is part of a series of books before I can move onto the next, aiming for a chapter today.

Well food shop done and have to say it wasn't too bad, managed to get most things couldn't get  sausage rolls or pork pies for DS, baking stuff was also in short supply and couldn't get what I needed for DS birthday cake, I will try again Friday and if I still can't get what I need will buy him a chocolate fudge cake. Didn't get dishwasher tab as there was a man dithering in front of them, he obviously hadn't got a clue what he was buying and kept picking things up then putting them back , I waited a while but was then holding up people behind so left them, I probably should have offered to help but was feeling quite stressed,.

That happened to me last week with people dithering, it's very stressful.

Yesterday was a bit of a let down weather wise, hopefully some of you had some sunshine to enjoy. Hope today is brighter and then I can get some washing pegged out.
Have checked banking and everything is ticking along, have a couple of surveys to do and want to read another chapter of my book, I will finish it. 
DD wants to watch silence of the lambs, but refuses to watch it on her own or at night, so that might be this afternoons viewing, she is studying Psychology and finds anything to do with serial killers fascinating but it scares the **** out of her so I end up having to watch it with her, luckily I don't scare easily .
Anybody else finding there day just revolves around food,whoopsied hot cross buns this morning for breakfast with mango and apple juice that I picked up by mistake insead of orange juice, but its very nice. going to make garlic mushrooms for lunch as they are looking past there best and beef burgers, sweet potato wedges and salad for tea, didn't bake yesterday as I found a banana loaf in the freezer which should do us a couple of days.
Better get some housework done and some form of exercise, might have a look on youtube for something, I hate workout videos but used to love doing just dance when we had a wii, so maybe a dance video might be ok.

I love reading and always have a book on the go but since this virus business I've really struggled to get into it.  I find I'm reading the pages but not taking anything in or re-reading the same page.  Lots of others have said the same.
