Goodintentions

Round 1 completed, plus cleaning the hob, and wiping down the fronts of the cupboards.
I have just had a cuppa, and then I might start on the patio. This involves tidying, sweeping and spraying to kill the algae. It is still a bit breezy so I will see what I can do - I don't want it killing everything! It takes a while as I have to juggle stuff around. I also plan to take the dog for a walk for our exercise. 
I will try and update later

Morning

Kitchen cleaned

Daily exercise done, a walk with OH on the beach, saw no one else!

Basic food shop done, not going there again, loads of people too close to me, plus HOW much.................

Anyway we have food for at least 4 days maybe 6 if we eat less.

OH is 'testing ' out the rental sofa, ie he is asleep

Have a good day xx

PS how is home schooling going?

dancemum

Beach sounds lovely.
The only home schooling I’m doing is that I require 1 piece of work doing each day. It doesn’t matter what or for how long. It is working so far. We also try to fit in a exercise activity and I try to get him to do 1 small job a day too. We are both adjusting to the situation.
2.5 days since incidents (touch wood)
2x wm done
bathroom cleaned
lunch made
remembered to remove dinner from the freezer
rang for password to download DS2’ proposed Amended EHCP plan and have had a read. We have to name his next setting. Not sure how college will go with no transition and no travel training that we had planned.

Home from work. So easy to concentrate when there are few staff and even fewer children in school! Permitted exercise taken as I walked the 2 minutes to and from work.

Cuppa taken out into the sunshine to enjoy the warmth and the peace. Next I need to wash my hair then probably some paperwork. I hate to sit indoors when it is sunny, but I might as well write today off and start again tomorrow. Another one who finds everything just so much easier when the sun shines.

Garden (veg plot) almost all dug now; back started protesting so I stopped - should get it finished tomorrow.  Ate a light lunch, showered then went to Mr L and for fuel.  Petrol price has plummeted.  Managed to get *almost* everything on my list; shop quite quiet.  Took the aged p's stuff up to them then came home and removed blue gloves.  Used pay at pump, which I don't normally, in attempt to distance;).
I have also sprayed the garden tabel and chairs with teak oil.  I have ironed yesterday's laundry.

Kids showered. Patio covered in chalk 😂😂

Lasagne for dinner which I have already made so nice and easy. I've identified loads of things to eBay but obviously will wait until all this is over. Xx

Well that was a close call, ( approx 24 hours the other way and nothing would move, but the house is sold) the removal company I used to take furniture to storage has closed until further notice at 4pm today, email says anything in storage will stay there until further notice, well that suits me fine, as I don't think I will need it for 12 weeks or so.

However all this £££ was not planed for, I have some savings so will be using that, the cat I thought 10 days max in cattery, is likely to be there for 12 weeks ££, furniture ££, storage container I also hired ££, rental accommodation ££,  I did budget for 2 to 3 weeks gap, not 12 or more weeks...............needs must and all that. Things are going to be very tight, things I want to do to the house when I get it, will be on hold, I did say I would go back to work, but there is no work as such, everything is closed, hunker down,...............

And I am a lucky one, I have a roof over my head / food / OH/ clothes etc.........housing market / sales is a mess.

The day is TODAY... (I check on my phone)
Jazzles is 2 today. his siblings have been extremely naughty! DD1 is in meltdown again.. Next cancelled all the things she had ordered for her hospital bag and Icandy delayed her order until July when she needs it in May.. She really needs to chill the heck out!

Corned dog in the SC for tomorrow and the day after.. anyone not wanting it bar the 4 tiddlers can fend for themselves!
more washing done.. and I need 2 beds stripping which I need OH to do but he is busy (failing at) building a catpen.. He has also become a takeaway delivery dude.. paid in pizza this run it appears.
I've made a start on tidying the back room.. 1/4 done.. airer and tables moved.. loads of toys to shuttle upstairs when I get onto the girls room. I am so fed up of this insane level of mess! It is so nice actually having some time to make some progress though.

Hand sanitiser arrived today.. so I can fill all my dispensers

a guy looking like he had never had a wash walked past my house earlier with a paper mask on his chin so he could smoke a joint.. dude, not QUITE how these things work!! So much stupid about!

It sounds horribly unsettling Kazwookie.  I hope you get some good news soon to balance out the delays and the £££.

Two more WM loads pegged out, after the five yesterday and the four the day before.  The last week of March is always fabulous here and this is the week all the curtains and dog blankets get washed; if not I fall behind.  I've also, for the first time, managed to plant a few broadbean and peas in pots in a tiny plastic greenhouse, to bolster the supplies of blackcurrant and blueberry shrubs found in supermarkets.  All of that plus a last-minute emergency purchase of extra potting compost after the chaps there said they'd be shutting down soon the day lockdown was announced means I've got a fair amount of gardening to get to really soon.

The Room of Doom is sorted to the point where I can now work in there again after three weeks of not being able to, and I've cooked enough dog and cat treats to takethem through the next couple of months, so I feel a lot better.  Running out with this mob isn't an option.

Also still need to:

- do the bathroom

- do the shower room

- do my nails

- deal with two computer problems.  I just ran out of time and energy today so they'll have to wait.
