I used Royal Mail online postage for the first time recently for items that will fit in a postbox, it was very quick and easy.

Please do not shout me down......I just want to ask how your granddaughters home schooling is going? Do the school supply online classes or does she follow BBC Bitesize?

Dgs2 slept all night again! Winner. Although we kept him up half hour later he was still up well before 6. As was his brother.
My joints are not liking this rain and I have taken an age to achieve as much today.
Biggest has cut me out 3 sets of scrubs today. When boys were in school I managed to make two surgical hats and one full set of scrubs. I tried doing one of the jobs that I had in which required hand sewing and gave that idea up when it took me nearly an hour to hem a pair of trousers. Hand sewing is out for now!
 The special scrubs are for a lady size 24 but who is very short . The fabric has been delayed.
should have it tomorrow.

Yeah I hope that we have turned a corner with Dgs2 as he slept all night again.
although it was 5.40 when he woke.
so that's the next target.
 I have so many little things to do today but I also have my target of one and a half sets of scrubs.
The delivery of fabric and other special scrubs is due today.

DGD school rang yesterday, and we discussed the problems we are having and dgds mental health. They are still trying to get her some councilling be it by telephone. There is a possibility that she can also return to school, as like the boys she has a guardianship order. So I have talked with her about her options of knuckling down or going into school part time. 

DS has taken the boys to their schools for me as I am not driving yet.
time to start my sewing. Then I can have regular breaks for rest and do the smaller jobs.
all masks requests have been posted now, so I am hoping that they arrive soon. 

Hope everyone is well and taking care.

I use a mid weight interfacing. Although any is better than nothing.

its been a very long day.
i have had a lot of video calls. A lot of enquires and all my usual daily stuff. 

Collecting in donations. Sewing scrubs, cooking dinner, and doing paperwork and planning. 

So I am only just About to go to bed.

Thank you. I hope you slept well after your busy day. Now for me to get back to sewing scrubs, and starting making masks. Stay safe.
