I managed to rest and slept most of the night. Dgs2 woke at 2am but he still had some milk in his bottle, gave him that and didn't hear a peep until 5.50 this morning, but that was both boys up.
 I have backache this morning. Been in bed too long? Slept funny?  Don't know but I am rather stiff. I will have a go at rubbing in some Fenbid gel in a minute or two.
DGs1 is part time at school, until 1pm as that's when his 1-1 teaching assistant is available.
dgs2 is now back to his booked hours of 9-3. Tue, wed, and Thursday.
 I will at least get some time to myself.
 I don't think I will be trying to sew today.
a lazy day reading perhaps.
 I noticed that DS didn't remember to bring the washing in yesterday, so I will have to wait to do anythingelse until the sun dries it out again. But at least he did their bath and bed after their tea.

call from both schools today. Checking up on our well being and progress etc.
 I had a hot bath, used theFenbid, walked to the post office to post your masks Beannie. I put two in each envelope. So 4 coming your way.
advise for cloth masks is to change after 2hours and wash/dry and iron? Not sure why ironing is necessary.
there is a slot at the bottom to be able to add extra filters if you can get hold of them. If you need more just shout and I will take my time and run more up. But not today.
 I hoped that the walk would help but I am just as stiff etc, cannot curl my back if you know what I mean. So I have taken some co-codamol. Waiting for it to take effect. I am going to see if DS will go get his lad and save me another walk just yet.
 I am sitting in the garden, bit breezy but nice.
Fabric delivery arrived from my suppliers only to be told by the team that wanted it that they don't need it now.
not impressed as that's nearly £300 worth of fabrics that I am stuck with now. 

I won't be ordering anything else for them unless they pay me upfront.
on the brighter side it gives me fabric to make childrens clothes in when my hand is better, I suppose.
chased the artist guy for money he owes me. I need to chase another lady that still owes me as well.

Hi SS i would like to order some masks too. For a fee of course. Do you still have my address from when I posted my skiirts to you for replacenent of the elastic last summer? I can't pm you as I don't know how with this new forum.
I hope your hand is feeling better.

S_s, I'm sorry that you have been left with all that fabric on your hands. I don't blame you for not wanting to order anything for the group again unless they pay you upfront!

I wonder if it is recommended to iron the masks so that the heat will kill off any virus remaining after washing?

Thanks so much Ss. 

That’s good that you got phone calls to
heck all is ok. 

That’s shocking about the material.

I am not sure I have, but I will have a good look through my emails etc.
 I have done as little as possible today. As the back hurts so much. I did walk to collect Dgs2 and DGD came with me to push the buggy for me.
DS has hung out washing etc when asked, but nothing is ever spontaneous unfortunately.
its all quiet now, so I am watching a recorded NCIS and then I will try to get comfortable in bed. I am sitting with a hot water bottle but I might put the electric blanket on high and lay down on that for a while and see if that will help me.

 I will have another go at sewing tomorrow.

Sorry that your back is so bad.

Thanks Beanie,
 I hope that it is nothing more than a blip. I would hope that with gentle stretching and some fenbid gel it will be better in a day or two. Just wondering if I slept funny as I was fine going to bed!
