Hugs to everyone who's in need (which is probably most of us right now). My computer is deciding it's on it's last legs so I've struggled to get online. I really need a new one but it's going to have to wait until I can go back to work. DH will look at it at the weekend and see if he can sort anything.
Bits and bobs done all week as didn't know what the lists were. Will catch up a bit tomorrow hopefully. I'm going to tackle paperwork I think. There is an obscene amount and I might never be seen again. Will go for 20 minutes of shredding and then 40 minutes of nice stuff...I reckon that's a good time split at the moment
Sleep well x8 -

Morning all
Wide awake club checking in! Paid stuff today again, last day and then 4 days off, woot woot! We were booked to go away for a week but obviously that’s been cancelled. DH is having all next week off still but I have shuffled my annual leave days around so I get 3 long weekends which seemed like a better option to me.
I have plans to get some of my toots list done with my extra days.... I probably need to look at the list and prioritise some things, going to have to be stuff that doesn’t need purchases made or input from others, I may take the time to revise some of my house plans as well in light of current events.
First things first, get today done, cuppa first, then shower and dress and try and get myself feeling vaguely human.Have a good day all, back later x8 -
Just sticking my head round the door to give you all a sleepy wave before I set off for the paid stuff. Friday - woot woot.
Pip is taxed - thank you for that reminder kazw - knowing I may get some of the money back made the spend less painful
Birds will be fed and recycling binned before I heigh ho.
Stay safe

Morning all
Up and ready to start work in the spare oom. Washing is on but is likely to hang indoors again as it is cold and grey out. Covered veg outside has been watered.I managed to order the iron that I was looking at last night as it came back into stock. Little things.
Back later, take care ladies. X8 -
Morning all,
YL we are all thinking of you and rooting for your DS. I totally get why he feels like he does, I would be the same. Re. The chores, can you do a rota starting from today through until next Friday? Tell them you cannot do it all, you know what men are like you have to spell things out for them, tell them straight you need more help xxxPiggers - our bills have gone out too, the joy of the 1st of the month!Ok two frogs to deal with today. First drain man (9ish), second a call with accountant (I was involved in the company and part of all this is getting it closed down). Looks like there will be a big bill but I want a clean break so will suck it up and get a loan if needs be. I'll manage. Some tricky conversations to have.
Flying wise there is dry laundry to put away, another small load to do, just the usual boring things really. I'll report back later, have lovely days all xx10 -
Boring list for me todayCheck bank accountFind out why post redirect I set up for 3 months, seems to have stopped after one month, my post seems to have gone to my old house, the new owners took it round to one of my old neighbours who phoned me.Sort out dinner for tonight'Supervise' the water board who are about to dig up near the rental, the owner has asked for photos, and has asked me to make sure they dont dig the very small rental garden up.................this could be interesting.

Put on WM
I will update later! DD2 wants to borrow my laptop for a zoom meeting, so getting it fired up now and checking bank accounts is a priority!8 -
It's peaceful here. The chap came at 9, did that thing that men do of scratching heads and looking concerned. In the end I basically told him to leave as he was clearly not sure what the problem was and no way is he taking my money in that case9
