NST April 2020: Fools we are not!

facethemusic

Sunday- NSD 12. 
Another day just the same as the ones before! Back to "school" tomorrow for DD after the Easter holidays. 
Gratitudes- finally finishing my book, another BarBQ finishing up some random bits from the freezer as well as being fun, DD making a "den" in the living room and spending half the day in it, a good walk, fresh rhubarb.

NSD #4 - just a nice quiet day at home with dh.  Nothing earth-shattering.
Gratitudes:
hot showers
warm pajamas
hot tea
'Call the Midwife'.

Not NSD yesterday - gave in and ordered some bras from Debnums after 2 of mine sprung their wires for the several-th time this month. Also ordered a cake stand I've been eyeing up for literally years - was half price down to £20 and I had a code for 10% off and free delivery. Cant get bras my size in supermarkets so needs must!

Yesterdays gratitudes: ds2 getting up straight with schoolwork - ready for the new week today!, watching and listening to birds in garden, getting some more garden bits done, a fab family brunch, line dried washing, a full waterbutt after the rain the day before.

Oh dear, today was not NSD 14 after all,  I went into Mr S for painkillers for dh, but they did not have any suitable, but they did have 90p Easter chocolates and masses of bread flour and s/r flour, so I bought lots  (less than £10 though ) and dh is in the kitchen making pittas and flatbreads for lunch.  We shall not starve. 

Laundry drying on the line, last load in the washer now, volunteering done for the morning.   Not seen the kids yet, but will make them do their homework after lunch before going out volunteering again tonight.   

Grateful for : Sunny day to dry all my laundry, food in the pantry, only knowing one person who has lost family to this horrible virus, for things not being worse than they are.    To all Turtles     I miss our dodgy hug emoji far more than I should.  Try and be the sunshine in someone else's day today.

Hopefully a NSD today, back to work and also on call for the entirety of today so see how that goes. LO smashed her head into mine this morning, so she had cuddles with her dad whilst I did some swearing, have a minor headache and she had a small bump on her head. Also have got about two thirds into Dracula and all the characters seem to have become idiots, so I am mentally shouting at them (not that they listen)
Grateful for the Guys and St Thomas' Covid app finally having option to track multiple people in a household (so have added LO and OH), the weather still being lovely, and a lovely Facetime with my parents yesterday, mum thinks she looks like the prime minister as her hair is a lot longer than normal and very floppy, so I'm just calling her Boris for now

Just want to share some excellent news here - the one day a week associate job I started in March, is now beginning to pay out, I was given it by an old colleague. SO extremely grateful for that. And it's a bit of fun as well :-)
And I just got extra tax credits this morning as well. So while I have been extremely frugal this month, except with buying some decent - but still basic food, I've still got hair on my head(that I cut myself), a shirt on my back and change in my pocket. 
Still need to catch up on reading though!

DH did joke about doing so - but they are of the very lacy/ slightly see-thru variety even if I was inclined to wear masks and was of a crafty persuasion!

Desperately resisting a huge urge to go to the shop and buy plants and solar lights and similar stuff...  will go to Smkt  tomorrow when I take eldest 2 offspring to donate blood (I wont be allowed in so may as well try the Smkt half a mile away whilst they are both in there (appointments are 5min apart) for 'proper' shopping instead - although if they have trays of bedding plants outside I might succumb to purchasing a couple whilst buying milk and veg and other essentials.... (no idea if they will - not a Smkt I usually go to)
