Morning xx
Hugs to all the poorlies and the stressed
xx I think the whole world could do with a hug right now
Wondering how the Wide Awake Club got on last night? I was awake at 4.10 am. Even when I'm asleep I'm having the weirdest dreams - even weirder than usual. Can you freeze cooked meat? There was some in my dream freezer! Woken up with a niggly headache and wading through treacle feeling. Definitely need to list my Rounds or today is going to be a 'did nowt' waste of a day:
Round 1 =
breakfast, 2nd cuppa & parrots
get washed and dressed
feed the birds
put out the rubbish
sort washing into loads - how can the laundry hamper be full again?
set WM swishing
rinse glass bottles for recycling
Take care

Good morning 😁
I am awake, had a cuppa in bed & faffing on my phone. I need to get up!
Round 1
Get up & dressed
Breakfast
Check bank accounts
Get some quotes
Put cushion covers in WM
That'll do to kick start the day.
YL it is hard for young people in their relationships, but they need to suck it up! The mother should know better - she may well get stopped by police!! My DD2 was asked if she wanted to lockdown at her BFs, but she chose home. They are only about 2 miles away, and could easily meet up, but they don't. Hugs to you x

Morning all x
Managed a wee bit of sleep last night a few hours straight any way which is better than nothing.
Coffee made, TD on, DDs online classes put on my wall calender (how is she studying for highers already?
) so I can double check and remind her, although she normally more organised than me.
I'm going to order a window feeder for the birds then make a start on the list.I'm not a muggle...I'm just magically challenged10 -
Measure fence; calculated square metres of same and have googled fence treatment (B&Q are doing click and collect). If I order today I can collect tomorrow.

I'm annoyed though (a bit) I have Love2shop vouchers but can't use them as it's online checkout.

Morning all,It's a beautiful day here, we've had a big dog walk across the fields. WM x1 is on the line, kiddies playing outside and we have done the lawns. I am fasting this morning until noon, when I lost the weight in slinky last time intermittent fasting really helped, so I am trying it again. I am not hungry yet which is good.Flylady plea - if anyone has a pedometer in a drawer gathering dust that they are happy to lend to me I would be very very grateful, obviously I would cover postage etc. Thank you 🙏🏻
We have a meat order being delivered from the butcher tomorrow, and I've just paid the milkman online. DS is desperate for a red pepper (🤷🏼♀️) so I will walk to the shop soon. We need some bread as well and I may treat myself to a newspaper.
Have lovely afternoons all xx12 -
Valli, can you ring love2shop and see if something can be done, so you can use them on line in the current situation?What I can get outside on the line is out.Judging by the noise, the local airforce base is out, and practicing various maneuvers in the high clear skies that are here at the moment, I might go out for my exercise with the camera and see if I can spot them over the horizon / out to sea.Breast Cancer Now 100 miles October 2022 100 / 100miles

Hi Yorkshirelass, sorry today is shaping up to be a bit..rubbish but think you are definitely right. A trip to see the GF is not essential travel. The government advice is don't meet others outside your household so this definitely counts as that! If he really wants to go then I think you are right he should not come back to your home with your vulnerable younger son. So if he goes, he's got to stay until this is over. Bet GFs mum will soon change her mind that that's a good idea 🤣
Got my list all sorted for today and going to get started soon by putting bedding in the wash.

Might ring them; the main issue is the £5 one which expires in Sept; they were an incentive reward.
Have washed the vacuum filter and dustbox thing. Vacuum filter on line in a net bag so it's in the sun and breeze to speed up drying. Going to do bathroom today as it needs it. And I did bedrooms back end of last week but windows are open and beds are airing.
DW emptied.

Lunch cooked, eaten and cleared up here.
DW on
HHI done
Warming up quite nicely outside so might get out in the garden for a bit this afternoon although I don't like gardening, it's just a necessary chore.
Also have started dot to dot in the kitchen so hoping to get that done by the end of the week, it's actually tidy so really just needs a thorough clean.
But going to enjoy a bit of crochet now.
