Re: We Are Living In A Precarious Time.....
I am trying to carry on regardless while spending as little money as possible.I have had some huge bills this year from the vet for extensive tests that proved inconclusive and for health care for myself to try to get some treatment which has been delayed by C19 since February and is still delayed.
I have grown more food this year and will continue to do so, having huge tubs of salad leaves right beside the back door that I can cut with scissors daily has been great .
These days I find simple foods freshly prepared are the best foods and that can just be perfectly made bread and soup .

Carrying on as normal but with a mask on at times. Not stinting on the shopping. I've had lots of food from the allotment this year and hope for the same next year.What with Covid and advancing years, I have been considering my own mortality lately and have freed up some money to just spend. Anything that advertises a 10 year guarantee as a selling point cuts no ice with me now.

Well I have no choice but to carry on as I've got to go and teach the little bu..g....dahlinks!I'm careful though and stick to the rules everywhere else
Missing being with my family is the hardest part for me
I agree C19 is here for the duration but I really believe an annual vaccine is close now

Re: We Are Living In A Precarious Time.....
I think things are somewhat precarious at the moment and expect things to get a lot worse in the coming months/years. Unlike many of you I am not spending much at all. I am trying to save as much as I can before I die. Spending will not benefit me but I have the feeling my children and grandchildren are going to need some money behind them in the not so distant future.

Re: We Are Living In A Precarious Time.....
I have bought some new clothes and I've given quite a lot to charity. Im wearing them daily so I feel new . I dont know what our future is but it feels worrying not for me I've had my life but for the future kids following on .I tell myself people survived terrible times in the 1st and second world wars and the country pulled itself up again. But its disturbing times for a long while yet . ☹
