Hi all x
Got up this morning to a swollen face. So I had to call the dental surgery, got another number spoke to someone who have me another number to phone. Got through have my details , they'd ask a nurse to call, spoke to nurse had to wait for the dentist to call. He gave me a prescription so I had to go out to pick it up in the afternoon. Grabbed some milk at the shop next to chemist. Came home amended my Mr A shop for delivery tomorrow. Ordered delivered today from the butchers, so portioned it up and stuck a load in the freezer. I've done all the dailies and chatted with a few people. I even managed to put my phone in the washing machine  so I'm using the spare! 

Natty hope you are ok xxx
narco absolutely beautiful well done x

Morning all,

Feeling a bit better today. I had a really good cry last night which helps. I am going to have an our on my own today, if that means the kids glued to devices so they don't interrupt so be it, I love my children very dearly but starting to crave some me time. So reading in my room with a face mask on it shall be! We will take the dog out shortly and I need to get the washing on.

Have lovely days all x

Mademoiselle

Morning all,

Another bright and sunny day here.  Picking up my shopping order this afternoon but will also go into the shop as not everything was available.  I just hope I don't have to wait too long.  

Bed made and clothes picked up
Bathroom wiped round
WM on
OH unloaded DW and cleared round kitchen
Cleaned up cat pee  aaaagh!
Updated spending sheets  (Spending more on food but none on parking, lunch, coffee  or a pretty little dress!)
Tidied living area and reloaded pellet stove (we need it on for a bit in the morning as OH just sits at his desk)

See you all later, 

Fayolle

Morning all
I think I slept most of the night - wooty woot! Still having the strangest of dreams though.

I have changed our bed, put the bedding in the wm, remade the bed, and flung open the bedroom window. I need to clean the ensuite today, but am tempted to go to the allotment first thing to get it over with. It’s supposed to be a pleasure but I’m not so sure. I have to wait for DH to get off his phone call, as I think he has plans for me to go out to source cheese as he is working until late.  Along with wine, it is our biggest weakness (I have many...), and the cheese has run out! If so, then that will have to be my allowed trip out of the house for the day, and I’m not looking forward to the prospect. DD was a bit teary yesterday. She has been brilliant so far, but is now missing friends etc etc. 

I also have to set up z00m on my tablet, wash my hair and a trillion other jobs.  I’m not sure just how I am frittering away time...

So glad that your friend is improving, Iona x
ASB - take that me time! I have to admit that I did have to read twice to understand the type of face mask you would be wearing - a sign of the times, I guess 😳
I hope Natty and LW are ok.

Take care, ladies x

Morning xx

hugs to asb, and anyone else that would like a hug this morning xx  YL - you're having a hug too xx I feel the need.

I became a fully fledged member of the wide awake club last night too. And when I did sleep I had foul dreams - in a boat. I don't do boats. And I certainly don't do water!!! That'll be my brain telling me that I feel out of control. I KNOW I DO! I don't need reminding when I'm asleep! I've lost my routine, my rhythm, the anchors that kept me sane(ish) and experiencing the world going mad was never on my 'to do' list! But we are all in the same boat   - and I am not the only one that wants to get off!

If I could just work out which way is up I could start to unweeble! One day at a time and breathe … I am a lot better off that a lot of people for a lot of reasons  I will count my blessings. I will put on my big girl's knickers, and I will survive. And if anyone reading this is struggling too, grab my hand and we'll get through this together. Ok.

Teeny tiny baby steps
Round 1 =
get washed and dressed
feed the birds
put out the recycling ( I ate my Easter Egg last night!)
WUDUPA
check the weather forecast - if it's going to be fine wash a set of single bedding to go to cs. (A little less clutter in my bedroom)

Much love

Morning

Windows open wide here as well at the moment.

Kitchen sorted

Eating a hot cross bun for breakfast.

Just discovered a web cam link so I can watch the Peregrine falcons sitting on their eggs up the local cathedral spire, apparently it gets more interesting when the eggs hatch.

Morning all, thanks Round, same back to you, holding your hand all the way, it sounds a bit feeble but you really do have to try and think of some positives x  Hope things are OK with you this morning ASB, and Ionafan, glad to hear your good news.

The mother of DS2s girlfriend is still prepared to pick him up and take him there, oh but only for a week or so, they cant keep him any longer.  Told him last night that this is madness, we are about to go into the peak weeks of this outbreak, I have just watched DS1 fight for his life in hospital and I am not prepared to risk anyone in this family getting it.  It seems that DS is worried that his girlfriend will end the relationship if he doesn't go!!!  More discussion on that later I think.

Going to do an online exercise class then not sure what next, its a bit cloudier here this morning.  Big pile of clean washing from yesterday to put away.
