As has ours. Andrew & Sally have been offering fruit and vegetable boxes, fish and meat from their usual suppliers (who are likely to be keeping our business when normality resumes) and meals. This week's offering was vegetable enchiladas, game pie or chicken, ham & leek pies. We have previously had curries, Chinese, Italian & Mexican dishes, and some rather tasty BBQ spare ribs.

We are lucky to have them & happy to support them.
 
Me and my mates had our first Zoom night since the previous lockdown was relaxed - we played the online game Among Us that everyone has been going on about the last few months. Was actually a lot of fun. So I guess this is a positive! Next week Joking Hazard I think..

A group of us have all just bought the same PS4 golf game. So at least we can still play some sort of golf together.
 
Went fishing with my son yesterday, beautiful weather, the lake was dead no one but us 2 on it. Hot chocolate drinks, flask of coffee and warm sausage rolls to eat. Both had 3 carp each from 3lb to 5lb. Fished 8-3pm. Thoroughly enjoyable day.

Today went up the cricket pitch and played cricket with the boys for an hour followed by 30 mins of footy. Now home for lunch and watch the 2 live games, all in all a great weekend.

Still really busy on the roads, doesn't feel like a lockdown
 
Is that PGA2k21? I have it as well, but I preferred the previous game Golf Club 19. It's still alright though.

We've got Golf Club 19. Some of them are too tight to buy PGA. Will happily drop £300 on a new driver shaft though ?
 
The biggest positive i can say is my travel/petrol bill and my office lunch .. I am easily 200-250 a month just on fuel. Equally easily 5-10 everyday on lunch + coffees. My car mileage has disappeared. From a 10K annual mileage, I am down to 4k!!.

Ofcourse, now i spend all that money buying silly things on Amazon. Bezos is becoming a trillionair because of me.

Jeez that Amazon prime is good though! £7.99 a month, loads of telly and music, free kindle books as well as free delivery for for a ton of stuff. Its great value!
 
Massive reduction in my time on motorways since March. Accommodation costs while working away, vanished.

pension savings have taken a hit though....but feel very lucky to be working...

Last two weeks, we’ve had the Welsh lockdown.... only been out of the village to get groceries click and coll. But lots of good walking from outside the front door. I think this would be tough in the city
 
make sure you amend the mileage on your insurance policy, you could be in line for a rebate!

Just had to renew... put it down as 8k.. will be able to buy a pint.

On that note.. the auto renewal went up by nearly £100... so called up and got a new quote .. £100 cheaper than current.. WTF.
 
If we carry on like the way we are we will run out of things to do

We have cleaned my daughter's play area out.. repainted it a bit and rearranged the Toys

Then have decided to get all my dvds onto harddrive.. only going to keep kids dvds
 
Can't think of anything at all. We are both still working. We can't play golf. I can't go to the gym. Shopping is painful. Lots of day trippers in the town yesterday and today. Can't see granddaughter or daughters properly. :mad:
 
Moving house 3 weeks today. Our version of lockdown means I get to stay in doing the jobs, like packing boxes, I'd normally leave till last minute. As much as I'd prefer to be out in the sunshine(19*) sat having a coffee watching the world go by, I'm getting some graft done.
