i'm getting a tesco shop this wednesday....so far it's been sort of every 2 weeks but will see how it goes after this one....it's so exciting getting a shop now i managed to get granny one too  big smurflette tried to get her one though sainsburys as granny would be classed as vulnerable but they never got back to her...disappointed as that's the closest shop to them  so when i saw an extra slot i grabbed it for them....granny eats the same stuff all the time but big one needs a bit of varitey

Awwww why did they treat you like crapWell done on getting granny a slot I have Sainsburys .....and am classed as vulnerable ......so have managed to get a slot once a week ....but I think that’s because I have used them for a couple of years now ......

Don’t blame you ....I was with Asda at one point , but haven’t managed to get any slots with them , so......

Are you managing to get out for walks etc Smurfy ? Are your schools going to open soon ?

thursday night i did an evening run which i had never done before...my penultimate call at 10pm took me ages to find the house as it was dark...up the steps to the mansion  went in the front door...in the porch was the yappiest nasty dog ever....i opened the door and the thing shot in the house...went to the nearest door i could see knocked and went in to say hello...daughter and wife looked at me with disgust and said you let the dog in! you're supposed to come in the back door! i apologised saying i have never been before and asked where i could wash my hands, put my gear on and where was the book so i could sign in...they said the other room...which room i wondered wandering the hallway guessing which door to open  anyway sorted the client out and brought him back to the living room...the wife didn't even say cheerio and i made sure i went out the tradesman's entrance

How bliddy rude Honestly , some people are dreadful .....fgs , you are there putting yourself  in harms way, doing stuff that they could be doing themselves 

wee smurflette and myself went a walk today round our seafront...was lovely even though it was mega windy...we can get out for a walk no problem when i'm not working...it's great 

as far as i know our schools won't be opening here until the end of august...even if they did open now i wouldn't send her in

yes I think September at the earliest smurfs

ros...i'm glad to be still working to be honest...i think when you're off work for a long time you would be anxious about when to go back...it was scary at first but have got into a routine with the gear and all...how have you been doing? working from home?

Yes, it must be lovely walking near the sea No, my daughter isn’t sending my grandson back , even though in his school Yr 12 is supposed to be going back on June 1 ......

aww yes must admit I miss the routine and agree about the time off -you do become anxious -glad you finding it ok and as long as you have got the right gear -its just about keeping safe I am still agency and do supply work- been in the same school for three years now and  have been furloughed   by the agency -not had anything yet though

Yes , at the moment I can’t imagine ever going out again ....it scares the hell out of me 

definitely so glad not to be in spain would have been a nightmare  this is the best place to be especially at the minute...as it's a small town you can get out for a walk without being near anyone...get into shops without much queueing...so our lives are pretty good at the minute

What have you both got planned for tomorrow ?

people go to different extremes out there...some aren't distancing at all it's obvious and others cross the road to get away from you or give you dirty looks if you go down the wrong way in the aisle in the shops our neighbour upstairs..divorced retired man watches people... we have communal bins outside in the car park...one day a woman put her rubbish in the bin he's screaming at her it's the wrong bin she gave him the finger....another lady across the way she told me she has anxiety i said come down and have a chat anytime outside if she wants....she was left home by her daughter the other day...he's screaming at her that's not social distancing...her daughter told him it was bleep bleep none of his business...he's a bit of tout

yes stay put bazzy-we just take turns to go for food and very occasionally together -today we needed storage but it is all social distance  and one in the store and one out

most of my queueing for shops is for other people  a woman i go to...same age as me...she's obsessed with cleaning so buy her loads of bleach and toilet ducks and she can have 8 litres of milk in her fridge at any time

oh and i cut her hair chopped her fringe and back of her hair with kitchen scissors

I’m a bit like that ....I keep stocking up , just in case ....but I’ve been like that since Inchy died. Cos I’m on my own I worry what would happen if I was ill ......and that was before Covid
