Thanks Yogi I have been self-isolating since the start of this as I am over 70 with several underlying health issues.  I have my groceries delivered because I simply cannot get around the supermarket any more.  There were a couple of missing items on my latest delivery and one or two substitutions but on the whole they were amazing and I received most of what I ordered.  I have tried to order enough for 2 weeks so as to ease the burden next week on others. Sorry I didn't post in your birthday thread, I wasn't on the forum much yesterday and missed that it was your birthday.  I'm glad you still managed to enjoy the day.

 

Isn't this a sweet picture of two toddlers 'visiting' their great grandparents?

I’m so glad you have things in place and are self isolating to stay safe.

Don’t worry abut the birthday thread 

Isn’t that the most heartwarming picture. I’m sure that visit from those little darlings really lifted the spirits of those grandparents.âĪïļ

El, your job just got a little more difficult with these new measures they have just announced 

@Moonie I'm puzzled as to why you think my job has got a little more difficult

Do you not deal with self assessment as part of your profession?

If I am wrong i apologise 

Yes, I do but I think I nust have missed something about how the new measures affect doing tax returns. I know that pubs and resturants have been told to close as from tonight but I don't have any as clients. I know that for employees who cannot work that the government will pay up to 80& of their pay (capped at ÂĢ2,500 per month) but that's not self assessment and the majority of my clients are self employed or private landlords.

As far as my client work is concerned I am of course affected in the logistics sense in that I can't see clients face to face for quite some time. Phone and email are fine. I do have access to a secure online portal for accountants to send and receive documents. I've had that for some time. That does require clients to have internet access of course. Documents can be posted or delivered though that would mean a delay betweem me getting some and me going through them  to allow for any virus to die out.

Good afternoon sunny but very cold here, we had a big frost this morning. 

yogi, have you got cake?  

that is a heart warming pic, I hope that it lifted the spirits of those grandparents  

No cake, Summer.

We would have had cake if I’d had a family get together but hubby would have been in a diabetic coma if I’d had a birthday cake and only he and I were eating it 🙈

Good morning everyone

 

Quiet bright weather here and forecast to be a sunny day.

 

Squiggle, my church doesn't have to facilities to be able to do live streaming. The C of E is providing online literature for people to use at home . The Archbishop of Canterbury will be using the Radio 4 Sunday Worship at 8.10 am to have a sort of live streaming service.

 

I hope everyone has a good day

Good morning everyone.

Dry and chilly up here.

When I spoke to my mum last night, she said one of the carers in the sheltered housing complex came round to tell them they only have to ask if they need shopping or prescriptions etc collected for them. Until now, mum and dad haven’t needed the carers for anything but it’s a relief to know they’ll help if need be.

Have a good day, all
