Three years to get debt free

Fidelia

Isolation because of potential contact with someone positive must be a real bore especially as your DD's  whole 'bubble' has to isolate when probably only one of them has it and hasn't been anywhere near your DD anyway.  I appreciate the need for being better safe than sorry though, I'm a great one for always sticking to the rules myself.  Even the heads of the UK armed forces and the Defence Secretary  are having to isolate at present because some military 'big wig' tested positive.  We just have to grin and bear it.  Great that your tests were negative. Do you have to test regularly throughout your isolation period?


I'm a bit concerned that the new Health Sec, Sajid Javid, seems a bit gung ho about relaxing the lockdown rules early.  I honestly don't think we're ready for that yet and a more cautious releasing would be more sensible.  The last thing we want is our freedom halted again after a few weeks of everyone being back to 'normal' at last.  I dread people 'going mad' once all restrictions are removed.  They're being silly already even with some restrictions in place.  You should have seen Cumbria at the weekend!    Scary amount of  unsocially distanced people. I only ventured out once but soon scurried back to my own garden and I've been double-jabbed at that.  I believe Andrew Marr said he'd had a Covid infection even though he'd been double-jabbed so the vaccines definitely aren't foolproof.  Probably just means the severity of the infection will be less.

You can still get Covid or pass it on if double jabbed but it should be less severe. They said after restrictions were relaxed there would be no further lockdowns but I heard something last week on the news saying they wouldn’t rule out a winter lockdown 🤔 I’m not certain if I want restrictions lifting just yet, it feels quite scary.

It could be someone in the other class but because they share lunch time and play time the whole bubble has to isolate. DD's school are a two year entry so that is 60 children per bubble. They have 4 year groups out at present and 4 in. I actually feel sorry for the head teacher, she is trying to manage this as best she can.

We only need to do one PCR and I did it because DD has bad hay fever and has some of the 'symptoms' of Covid. I wanted school to be reassured that it was just hay fever with her being in possible contact with someone. 

I am wanting restrictions eased, but then don't as well. It is scary especially as I can't have the vaccination but then it would be nice to not have to wear a mask in a shop. 

Got through another day almost so that's another day closer to getting out. 6 more to go after today is done. I am working and also sorting out the house in between my working day. Going to get rid of the huge unit upstairs as I really don't need it and just fill it with bits that I don't actually need. At least if it is gone, it won't need to be filled with things I don't need. I plan on listing it for sale tonight.

Morning everyone,

Day 5 of isolation today. Almost half way through. 

Money is the same. I need to get until the 1st to see what bills are coming out.

Garden furniture has turned into a nightmare. I cancelled it, got an email to say it was with a trusted partner and so would be cancelled but might take a few days, and yesterday a text to say that it will be delivered tomorrow. That's a whole lot quicker than quoted which is why I cancelled. The company are saying reject the delivery but I have read reviews since ordering where this has been suggested and people aren't getting refunds as the products aren't making their way back to where they should be. That leaves me in a huge dilemma. I have ordered a nicer better set that has spread out payments, but equally don't want to be out of pocket by quite a bit if I reject the delivery and it never returns back. I think my best option is to accept the furniture and use it and cancel the new one until next year. I planned to have several pieces in the garden so next year isn't so bad for me to get some new furniture. 

No movement on the high value items for sale. The smaller ones pretty much have bids on. 

House wise: Yesterday I managed to clear out three of the drawers in the unit. The items have either found new homes or been put in the bin. I plan on having it cleared completely today so that I can list the item for sale. I won't get much for it, but I will get a huge range of space back and that is what I need now. I plan to replace it with a much smaller unit and make the room more of a guest room rather than the dumping ground it has become. The bookcase will be next in that room. That needs completely taking out and replacing with a much smaller one. 

I need to log into work soon so will be working from home and then fitting the jobs in around that. I have lots of storage space at home, I just need to use it more appropriately. 

Last night I sanded part of the kitchen that needed it from when the work had been done. It just prepared it a lot more for when it will be decorated over the summer. It's just needs touching up mostly from the work that was done. 

Have a lovely day everyone.

Morning Abba, sorry, I thought I had messaged. I was trying to keep up and then my diary got deleted quicker than I expected x

Glad I’ve found your new diary, I wondered if you and DD were okay. Sorry it’s taken me a while I’ve not been well and was off the forum for a couple of months. Looking forward to keeping up with your journey!

Hi Sticky,

hope you’re better now? 

Was it easy to find? X

Morning everyone,

Hope all is well in diary land.
bills out tomorrow, then I can see where I am until pay day. It won’t be the best but if I can avoid too much into my overdraft it will be an achievement.

I’ve got 7 items listed for sale. 3 will sell but they’re only a few pounds. Nothing on the bigger item. 

Cancelled furniture is due to arrive today but we will see! Especially as I cancelled it. If it does then it’s already paid for and I can simply just build it and have it as it is a set ready for summer. It would be handy this week with me isolating. I can then add to it over the next few years and then once the rabbits are no longer here, I can get the garden completed. 

Looking forward to seeing where the bills will be up to tomorrow. The huge ones come out the day after payday but these are all the little ones.

I’d had a quick look in the debt free diaries but I didn’t know which username to look for but I remembered that we’d messaged sometime in the past and was able to find it by using your username from there.
