Thanks Naomin. Were ok thanks. Just not wanting to come on moaning here whilst so many people have got real problems going on. No Covid in our house at the min thankfully but we cant work from home so are going into work and keeping as clear of it as we can. 
Budgets are shot as are most peoples I guess with having to buy what is available at what price and we are shopping for eldely family members too. They will reimburse us but i will cook the books so they dont pay as much as we spent without them knowing. Not moaning though we are well have jobs to go too and we are EXTREMELY grateful xx
Love and virtual hugs to all xxx

Glad to see you posting and belated congrats on your PPI payment. 😀

Don't worry about having a moan - that's what we're hear for to listen to one another and never so more than now!

Stay safe. Xxx

Thanks SSG58 if I am finding this whole virus thing is making me sad. Im worried about friends and family members who live alone who are meant to be self isolating but arent quite doing it and can understand why when they are looking at months of being cut off from the world. Total isolation cant be good for mental health when you live alone. Of course theres phone calls but how much can you do apart from showing you care x

It's making me feel sad too, Moving Forward. We've just cancelled our Easter meet-up with my sis & her family. I'm quite stoical about it on one hand, but I keep walking past the big box of things I've been putting together for her on the landing & it keeps reminding me that we shan't be meeting up for a long time. I have such a tiny family & we live 130 miles apart, so we all enjoy our meet-ups. Never mind, there are people with massively worse problems than that. My thing will be keeping busy. I am a productive person by nature, but I think my mood may flop if I don't keep busy. So I'm going to progress lots of projects & really get the garden looking its best.
Stay safe,

It is all so sad. Like foxgloves I just have a small family - I'm not sure when I'll see DD again as she lives miles away and I've cancelled my trip to see her in a couple of weeks time.  My sister and family live a couple of miles away but her OH is self isolating at the moment.  At least we have the luxury of FaceTime etc. to keep in touch. 

Stay safe. Happy Mother's Day. 💐💐💐

Hello @Naomim I'm good thank you.  Still not posting (nor reading for that matter) just keeping well and trying to look after others.
The food spend budget is blown until we stop shopping for self isolating relatives. They do pay us for the shopping but its cash which is a bit difficult to spend at the minute so I'm just putting everything together and just keeping tally of what their stuff came too.
Hope your well.  I need to have a catch up of the diaries don't I.

I understand not posting, none of us have much to say I guess at the moment   Glad you are okay and managing to help your relatives and they are safe and well whilst self isolating. My friends husband has been identified as extremely vulnerable so the whole house is locked in for 12 weeks.   

Keep your chin up,  ((hugs))

Not having much to say says it all doesn't it.  The usual work conversations of what did you get up to the weekend are rather short these days and mainly consist of queuing at such and such and the excitement if someone has loo roll!!
Mr M_F's sister has come down with what seems like a cold, hopefully not the dreaded CV-19 She's now self isolating to be on the safe side but hasn't got the cough or the temperature so fingers crossed. We haven't' seen her since mothers day and then we stayed firmly 2 metres away and refused to move from the driveway so fingers crossed she gets better soon and hasn't passed it on!! 
We also realise how lucky we are to still have jobs to go to and especially that they aren't on the front line like our poor NHS staff.
