I think there had been too much uncertainty regarding the 'suggested advice'.<br />Stay well.

I'm not hungry or bored but am using food for comfort, so need to get on top of it or I will put all the weight back on.<br /><br />Hope your online SW goes well.Eileen Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06340398156618870705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-24594162418116581942020-03-25T10:55:15.928+00:002020-03-25T10:55:15.928+00:00It most certainly isn't easy!!!
I think you...It most certainly isn't easy!!!<br />I think you're right in that it is lack of control but it's also the unknown.

I'm also feeling a bit stressed but I think it's lack of being in control of the situation we're all in.<br /><br />I'm laughing at all my colleagues who are doing the PE with Joe Wickes. We all thought it would be easy as it's aimed at kids. But having done his 90 day programme in the past, I can see he ain't holding back!!! So well done for joining in. I also adapt some of the exercises as they can be sore on my kneeAlihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17134857174645360450noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5648310406783744033.post-21179623428914966352020-03-25T09:41:00.521+00:002020-03-25T09:41:00.521+00:00I know what you mean - neck aches and stiff should...I know what you mean - neck aches and stiff shoulders and unable to sit still.

If Beth is self isolating for health issues, wouldn't it be ok for you to deliver her bread, just leaving it on her doorstep and then retreating to the gate for a 'safe distance' chat? I know it's all a bit confusing and not terribly clear at the moment, but we are allowed to help out vulnerable people aren't we? What about all these neighbourhood volunteer shopping schemes that are popping up, that's the same thing isn't it, surely? Don't take my word for it though. xxSoozehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03762391472811785736noreply@blogger.com
