My biggest worry in all this is that my 13 month old granddaughter won’t remember me and won’t be happy to be left with me when this is all over and I resume my Monday daycare duties. We do Skype but she’s very lively and wriggly and doesn’t sit still for more than a minute and I feel self conscious with them sitting on their sofa and me on mine trying to act as if this is normal! Words of reassurance welcome!

I am sure she'll remember you, MJP1, especially as you are Skyping. My children & grandchildren have been facetiming me, and it is great. I had a cookery session with my 11 year old granddaughter, both making rolls and buns. It was a great success. I realise you can't do this with your little one, but maybe you could read her a story or make up a game to entertain her? Think positively if you can, or depression will set in.

I've decided to learn how to use my technology devices. I've been doing sessions with a university student who is great, she controls my computer/phone and shows me how to use and set up different things. Feel much more independent. I keep asking my kids for advice but now I feel like I'm getting the hang of it. Happy to refer her to anyone interested she's also very cheap

When I was doing a degree ,my tutor said scholarship essay writing is like this
Say what you are going to say.
Say it with proof and appropriate quotes
Then say what you have said

Is it still the same jessicachest ?

There are a lot of posts recently promoting essay-writing sites. They seem to be not just advice sites, but links to "professional" writers who will produce a complete essay for you to hand in for grading.

Is it just me, or do other people consider them the equivalent of "degrees for sale" and every bit as fraudulent, not to say downright dangerous if they help people get qualifications they don't deserve?

Another equivalent is the recent spate of links to sites who will sell you fake documents of every kind with no questions asked. Do we look like international criminals who need fake passports and credentials?

BBbevan, I recognise the essay writing advice you received. I had the same advice on public speaking and it stood me in very good stead when I was involved in local politics.

I am not looking forward to going back to what we know as the norm.
I am walking everyday and the air is so much clearer/healthier.
And i have noticed LOADS more vehicles on the roads recently, back to a poluted planet.
