Saturday 11th July
I slept awfully last night, I think it was about 3am that I finally dropped off, so I had a slight lie in till about 10ish.
I got up, went and had some breakfast.
When the parents went to see Nana, I watched the latest episode of Roswell.
I then continued reading The Boundless, whilst I was waiting for them to come home.
When the parents came home, they told me that we were having Nana over for tea, so I went to pick nana up.
We had a lovely afternoon/evening with nana, and my mum knows how to make a lovely tea!
At bed time I continued reading The Boundless.
Sunday 12th July
Getting to sleep last night was also an issue, again I think it was about 3am when I dropped off.
I did get up a bit earlier than yesterday and got up about 9.
As it was a Sunday, there is nearly one constant and that is my need to make pancakes for brunch!
I changed up my recipe by halfing the ingredients and only made a half batch! But they were still just as good!
After lunch I had a visit from Nay, as she wanted to drop off my belated birthday present.
At bedtime I watched the newest episode of season 2 FBI, as I loved season 1, and Missy Peregrym is one of my favourite actresses.
Monday 13th July
When my Nana was at our house on saturday, she asked me if I could take her to Asda tomorrow, as she needed some new clothes.
As I've only been to Tesco, I decided to do a trial run st Asda to see what their set up is like and what to look out for tomorrow.
I can honestly say I hated it! It was basically a free for all. There were arrows and Do Not Enter signs on the floor, and absolutely no one took any notice of it, and walked wherever they wanted and social distancing has definitely gone out the window!
After the train wreck of Asda I went to see my brother in law and Cooper and Lola, which was a nice way to start the week!
When I got home I watched and finished the remaining episodes of Lucifer that I'd started last year!
After I finished watching Lucifer, I continued on with my read of The Boundless.
Tuesday 14th July
As I mentioned yesterday, today was the day I was taking Nana shopping to Asda, and she also wanted to nip into Matalan, which was so much nicer than Asda.
Asda was still as much of a shambles as yesterday, as much as I like Asda, I think I'll be giving it a miss for a good long while!
When I was taking Nana home, we nipped into home, so she could see mum and have a coffee. Once she was ready, I took her home.
When I got home, I did some reading for my course, seeing as I've barely touched anything for over a week.
Later on in the evening, my sister and the kids came over, which was nice to see them.
After they went home, as my parents had gone out for a meal with some friends and I had the house to myself, I attempted to make rocky road and cookies, failed at cookies and made a blondie instead. I've realised now that the reason my cookie mix turns out like cake mix is the butter I was using is actually margarine, so if I want to make cake, I'll use margarine and for cookies I'll use salted butter!
Will find out tomorrow how the rocky road turns out, as I think I over melted and stirred the chocolate!
Wednesday 15th July
Yesterday the ink in mums printer gave up, so I said I'd go up to Currys to go and get her a new set of inks, seeing as she needs the printer for work.
Currys was ok, you queued up outside and they had a store employee asking you what you were looking for, so that they can direct you, so you're not spending unnecessary time trying to find what you're looking for.
As I was in the queue, my mum text me, to say she also needs some staples as well.
As there is a Morrisons across the road, I thought I'd nip in and see what they had in their stationary section.
Morrisons was a similar chaos to Asda, they have you queuing to get in, but the door you go in is very small and it's also the door people are coming out of.
There is no one way system, it's basically another free for all, and no one was thinking of social distancing at all!
Having braved Morrisons, I found that they had no staples, so I decided to go the nearest B and M.
B and M, was quiet, thank goodness, so I managed to get in and get the staples in less than 15 minutes.
By the time I got home, it was lunch time so I had some lunch with mum, and watched Barlow sitting on mums seat!
went and did some studying.
When it was tea time, I came down to fit mums new ink Into her printer.
I also checked my rocky road, it turned out really well actually! The only thing it was missing was some raisins to add a different texture.
Thursday 16th July
As I got up a bit earlier than I'd anticipated, I decided to start watching the first episode of season 4 if Veronica Mars, I loved the first 3 seasons that were first shown around 2004! So I was very excited to see this revival season.
After watching the 1st episode I got up and went over to my sisters house.
From seeing my brother in law on Monday, I had offered to look after Cooper and Lola, if he wanted to go and do some work at his unit.
He took me up on the offer.
For the first hour, the kids completed their homework.
Then we had lunch, after that we then played some games.
We played Monopoly electronic for Kids, which I'd bought them for Christmas, it was so fun!
We then played a Monopoly Kung Fu Panda edition.
Then Cooper wanted to play on the Playstation,
Natalie and Wayne came home to pick the kids up, as they were going to Nanas as Wayne was helping dad to take down a shed.
I headed home, but I also had to go to Nanas as mum hadn't told me she was going and I didnt have my house keys to get in.
So I went to Nanas as well. We ordered a Chinese, which was lovely, it was so well cooked.
I think I eventually got home at about 11/12, needless to say I think I fell asleep quite well!
Friday 17th July
In the morning I continued watching Veronica Mars, as it getting very good!
After lunch I went on a walk to congleton edge with a friend.
I loved the walk, it was lovely and tranquil and the views were absolutely amazing again!
When I got home, I decided to make some more rocky road, a chocolate version and a biscoff version. As Im going to Natalie's tomorrow for tea, so I said I'd take dessert.
As mum and dad were going out to their friends again tonight, I decided to continue watching Veronica Mars and I managed to finish the series, and it ended in a way that made me tear up!
I then went to bed and decided to start watching Pride and Prejudice, the 2005 film, but I only managed to get half way through, as I was falling asleep!
So that's my 16th week of lockdown over and done with...here's hoping theres not too many more.
I hope you're all having a good week and staying safe.
Vanessa 😊
