Thanks for the kind words about DS and the food deliveries, you made me feel better, and he is happier knowing we won't go hungry so that's what matters.  Narco you must be really chuffed with that write up (and yours was definitely the best).
So.. today .. 7.5 hours paid stuff done, two beds changed and 3 loads of washing dried outside, one roast dinner cooked, 30 minutes kettlebells class done, quick run around with hoover and the dog walked.  

Pigpen one of our neighbours has a little boy with autism and his is really struggling with losing his routine, its going to be so hard for some children going back to school.  Hope you get an appointment with CAMHS.  Hope DS is not too upset about the car GI, my DS hit a pheasant just before lockdown and it smashed his front bumper!

Right, bedtime.  Night all x

Thanks for your kind comments re the floral ring, I thought some of the others were lovely.
Sadly the best vibes for tonight's Mr T scramble were in vain; I refreshed the screen at intervals of 20-30 seconds from 11.30, got in the queue at about 11.50 then held in queue until 0007 and no slots at my 3 nearest. Woke Mr N up when a slot appeared for a town 10miles away but he said we weren't that desperate and would just do a masked and gloved shop if needs be; we survived 2 of those since lockdown. That's the bookings for May 13th!!  At least I've started decluttering the 'white box' and am doing well with binning a good deal.

Had a bonfire this evening (8.45pm) of all the confidential paperwork I've been culling. Didn't see any shooting stars but it was a lovely night. 
For any other musical theatre fanatics, Friday's free Lloyd-Webber broadcast is Love Never Dies - quite pleased as I didn't see that one.

Morning all,

Another lovely day here, so no excuses, so far:
Bed made, clothes picked up
Ironing board cover put back on (I washed it last night because a cat had been seeping on it)
DW on (thanks OH)
Banking checked

OH has started his meeting so I'll take him a coffee and then go and sort some washing.  Need to check if vet is open to order more cat food, I usually order online and collect from the vet to save delivery charges.

Hugs to all, see you later

Good morning! 😁
It is a beautiful day, so I need to not waste half of it by not doing anything! F!tb!t is charging, so I'm not moving yet! 😂 I aim to be up, dressed & breakfasted by 9am though.

Morning all,

A glorious day here as well. I have the first load of washing swishing, and have fed the children. I properly tidied and re set the kitchen last night so it was lovely to come down to. I have updated our Iceland order with some bits for our elderly neighbour, he has three children and says none of them have been to see him so he's been going out for his own food despite being 83 with a heart condition 😔. 

The children want to go for a bike ride this morning which is fine by me. I have been asked to go into work next week for a day, so need to contact school and see if the kids can attend. 

Back later, have lovely days all xx

Good morning all
Bed stripped, one load in the wm and one load queuing. I will hang the first load out before I have to go into work this morning. DH will be put in charge of hanging the 2nd load out.

Dinner will be a veggie sc chilli, so as long as I get away from work in good time, that will go on and be an easy dinner. 

Back later, have a lovely day everyone x

I'm looking at all dates, already have 28th booked so am trying for 10 days or so after that thanks. Last night at 11.45 a slot for today was available.  It's just getting to be an obsession now, can't believe there are so many people needing food as I think of us as so rural. But nearest out of town Mr T is just under 4miles away and nearest town large.
