Embracing the new family dynamics and looking forward to the future with optimism

DS actually surfaced when I gave him his coffee, and although he wasn't in early enough to help dress the boys he was able to take them to daycare and collect them too.
 I got a nap for about an hour this afternoon. 

I have continued to do little when they were out.
dS has gone to do the food shopping with a list but he's not back yet so I am going to have to start getting them dressed for bed. 

Dgd is washing up each day, although it is a little reluctantly. 

Some sewing books and a kit I had ordered a little while ago has arrived from the Netherlands today, so I will have plenty of inspiration etc to do things when my hand recovers.

right let's find the pjs.

Glad you've had a okay day. Just had a little thought do you think dgd would like to make some pocket money, could you supervise her making face masks, she could then sell them on facebook/eBay. Work out the costs, postage costs then go to the post office for her daily exercise plus a bit time together and something different for her to do. Plus an excellent teacher!  She may even decide to donate a percentage to charity. A bit of math for her as well.

I will have a chat, her last attempts at sewing were not successful, but maybe she could try again.
 I will certainly have a chat about learning and the commerce side might appeal as funnily she did ask if she could do anything to help me.

Are you making face masks? If so can I please order a couple for the foodbank trustees?  Thanks 😊 (you know what I mean the group you are involved with)

I have not been sewing yet. Because of my hand, but I will see if I can have a go later. How many do you want Beanie

Are these just cotton masks? if so they offer no protection and can cause problems due to cotton holding moisture i.e. if someone coughs /sneezes and droplets go onto the cotton they will be absorbed by it and the wearer then breathes through the cotton via their mouth or nose you need surgical grade or above to be effective

Two thanks ss.
I think in Scotland we will soon have to wear them if we are out of the house.

just_trying

That's my thinking to beanie, when we are out the house we will need to wear them.  Scotland here as well though I think everyone may need to wear them. 

Harris yes though it's been stated even wearing a scarf or bandana is helpful as your protecting others from youself!

Good luck savvy, hopefully dgd has thought  about the pounds she could make, I knew you were involved with a local thing just thought it could be good for dgd it might motivate her and once she was going that would be her, she could even do matching scrunchies (bobbles).
