    Ah sorry I missed your birthday, I hope you managed to have a good day even though hubby had to work.

    Hope you're feeling more like yourself, definitely good to keep busy potting around although it sounds like you were more than pottering!

    Hope the sun is shining, H x

  • Thanks DFOD, Huggle and mummy.
    Yesterday was another pottering day and caught up on a couple of niggly jobs, read a couple of chapters of current book and managed to cash out a £10 M&S voucher from a survey site.
    DD was really struggling yesterday and we had lots of tears, I know its really important that we stay locked down but I do really worry about how this is effecting people's mental health and the knock on effect this is going to have is going to have to be dealt with for many years to come.
    Plans for today are not much, need to check banking, think about next weeks meal plan and what we need to buy, make a lasagne for tea, email boss to see when i'm in work next week. Washing and a general tidy up.
    Take care xx

    Thanks Mummy, she is much more upbeat now, I think we all have moments when it just becomes too much :(
  • Hi All.
    Not much to really update, have been pottering in the garden and tidying up a bit. washing is pegged out and loving this sunny weather.
    Finances are ticking along, thinking of sending DH to Sainsburys for a shop on Saturday as I have a £20 gift card and £20 in nectar points, at least then the money stays in bank account. Redeemed a £25 M&S evoucher from swagbucks, one good thing about the lockdown is that I've kept up with surveys.
    Made a Victoria sandwich cake and just having an easy tea of pie and chips, DD requested pie it's her go to comfort food.
    Hope everyone is ok and keep safe xx

    It is so hard for them (and us all!).  My DD is struggling too.
