    I find routine very hard to create and maintain. It's very beneficial to me to have a routine, it helps me remember things to do and actually get them done. But creating one is difficult, maintaining is slightly less difficult unless it gets disrupted like over Christmas! Then it is like I'm recreating it.

    Enjoy the shops! I had to pop to the local small shop early this morning because we ran out of oat milk... I'm not a fan of coffee without milk.

    Sorry to hear that @Autism_at_40 :( Is there anyone who can help you get things from the shops if it's urgent?

    @Jimm_Scope
    Nope, I live alone, no friends or family.
    I was going to get stuff in before the weather gets worse as my fridge is empty, cupboards bare.  But, I've not had enough sleep to cope with people and so I think I'll try an online order.

    Yeah, I was next gonna recommend an online order. I know if you order enough delivery can be free for some places. 

    Is there also a group for helping deliver food to those less able to get to the shops? I know that was very common during covid, but many of them stopped after lockdowns ended. I wonder if some kept going though.

    Oh, good luck with that @Autism_at_40! I really hope it helps, I know people who's lives have been really improved by having a support worker. It's not always perfect, but it can be very beneficial

    Crikey @teigr do they still do those. It's a good way to cut the cost. @Autism_at_40 hope you manage to get some shopping

    I helped someone scan their clubcard from their phone today. I do dislike the pricing system of the clubcard, felt like I was being ripped off everytime I forgot it till I got the app on my phone. 

    For the self-service tills the trick is to point the QR code on the phone towards the forward facing scanner, while slightly lifting the panel that the upwards facing scanner is on. A Tesco employee showed me once and I now never struggle to get the QR code to scan, and today I managed to pass that information on to someone who was struggling to get it scanned next to me! Felt a little nice, as I know just how frustrating it is.

    I still have a physical club card! :D I don't think I am a luddite, I do embrace technology when it makes life better, but I don't see how faffing around with my phone, putting the passcode in, finding the app, is an improvement over getting my club card out of my wallet.

    Then again I still use wired headphones and still prefer a computer with a keyboard and mouse so maybe am a bit behind :D

    @66Mustang
    I use a my actual club card I prefer it the only app for shopping deals I have is Asda as they don’t do a card.

    @Sandy_123
    Hi  Sandy how’s you.
    I’m waiting on my water bottle for my feet arriving, I’m hoping it comes before I go out, if not they usually leave with my friend next door or just at my door. I’m looking forward to using it 😊

    @Teigr
    Oh nice one I didn’t know they still done stamps either.

    ❤️

    My bedroom radiator has stopped heating up, I've asked my son if he will bleed it tomorrow when he's back.

    Oh that’s a shame, stay in your living room as long as possible tonight or even sleep in there if your rooms to cold.

    @Ada really sorry to hear that :( it's awful not being able to get warm isn't it.

    Can you also cuddle your dog or does she not stay put?
