Make sure you tell us when you get the result CCL!  and sending hugs to your kids,  virtual, 2m away social distancing hugs.  Glad you are not feeling too rotten. Hopefully just a cold as you say, and in 48 hours you will be able to tell them you are fine.

Hi all, thanks for the well wishes for LO, nursery advise she has been very happy and she only woke up once last night so defo on the mend, just wait and see how her breathing continues. Weather continues to be dreary, not much to report. Grateful for our works virtual pub quiz tonight, every right answer will see our company donate £1 to NHS charities, rewatching Red Dwarf with OH (he has not seen all, watched first ep, I AM A FISH)  and for my shift being over for today

Hope it turns out to be a cold or hayfever, CCL.

Seedballs arrived today. Unfortunately they were the wrong kind. Salad instead of butterfly mix. I'll keep them anyway and reorder some flowering ones. I have a plan to brighten up the communal back garden with some pots and hopefully I might be able to get the children to help me. Instructions on how to plant and water from a safe distance.

I'm still feeling really unsettled and, I must admit, getting grumpy. Silly things are beginning to irritate me. It's just as well that Himself and I have a really good relationship or I'm sure he'd have gone to stay with a friend by now! I suppose we're all feeling the same and just have to find a way round it. After all this is a really unusual situation for us to be in.

So, tomorrow is pay day and I must sort out the budget. It's really gone to pot what with online shopping, etc. Must really get it back on track and stick to it.

NSD..  
Thankful for a parcel from Nandos containing medium sauce and hot rub - freebie , a drier day, using things up, not needing anything, soup over a drizzly lunch hour, my Debnums parcel arriving (no cake stand - oos - sob) and 1 definite 'keep' bra and another 2 'probably keep' bras in there (and 3 more to return) (all 6 same size and brand and sort of style (all balcony) but not all of them fit....)

NSD - think it’s 19/15.
Tydied ds teddies today they look so much better still have them all but at least look tidy.
My food bill is worrying me a bit. Will be trying to trim it back a bit in May we are definitely eating/drinking more but only using 1 (expensive) supermarket and I think prices have gone up too.  Being at home does cost more but we are not using fuel.  My car battery is flat may need a new one as we’ve charged it a few times now. DS did his work well today.  I felt a bit lost today. DH is having lots of video meeting and they just go on and on even I can see they are wasting time!  I couldn’t bear to hear it today so went upstairs to sit on the bed. I didn’t realise his job was so boring!
Feels like April has been a long month will be good to reset and re focus for May.

Wednesday- I've been convinced all day it's been Thursday, but as all the days are the same I dont suppose it matters! 
More milk was purchased so still 17 NSDs. 
Gratitudes- more veg seedlings appearing, (although I'm starting to despair about the aubergines- 24 seeds planted and not the slightest hint of a shoot yet), DD getting some brownie badge work done as well as school work, warm dry weather for our walk, still having stores of food (although they are reducing, we are down to 5 "shapes" of pasta), lego.

Proactive contact from our doctors surgery
