Good girl, Shirl,,
I believe that, as long as you don't touch anything you shouldn't, don't hug any one you don't know,,stay away from crowds, keep your hands clean, just be wary,

take care,

Sue I am so sorry for your loss.:( xx

Shirley I know exactly know you feel.

I had cheques to pay into the bank and my daughter said 'do it on the app on your phone mum'.
Well I tried and completly messed it up and my bank account was suspended.
Only way I could get it going again was to go into the branch.

Well I was terrified. I hadnt been out for 10 weeks due to hubby being vunerable and us both being in isolation.

I did go by car but was really upset for the rest of the day. I felt really stupid as I'm usually a fairly confident person.

Dont think I am coping very well but I thought I was before that.

Keep safe everyone. xx

AnnmarieG don't dwell on it, we are all prone to and allowed, a wobble sometimes. It is hard this having to stay home, hard not going out and hard not seeing people. It saps our confidence. But it will come back. And you paid the cheque in. Hopefully you can put it out of your mind now. <3

Ann marie
Me too

I think of myself as a strong self sufficient woman but losing hubby knocked my self confidence big time

We had been together from when I was 18 and he was 21

He used to say to me after he retired “I do have my own voice you know!

My response was well you wanted me to take charge with the bills etc all these years so it’s difficult not wanting to organise still

But that skill has gone a bit haywire now and I have floundered in lockdown

Haven’t organised my time sensibly so got in a rut


So I am now setting myself some jobs I need to do and am now off our into the garden to clean the pond pump for the umpteenth time,it keeps silting up, and start on jet washing the patio
It has to be done in stages as the drain is only a soak away so fills up :-D
