In these times, every simple act, no matter how seemingly insignificant can make all the difference. I am shielding, but still working from home, and I have had such kind support from my next door neighbours on both sides, who take it in turns to get shopping for me. Because they both have their own lives and they are doing me such a kind favour, I only tend to ask for things that I really need. I find it very hard to accept help, and will never ask for help. I am the person who usually helps every one else, and I feel guilty that I can't be out helping them now.
I found I was getting quite low in mood, and realised it was because I was missing those 'naughty' extras that we treat ourselves with. Out of the blue I got a message from a friend to say they had been and got themselves take away fish and chips the previous night. They thought of me, and wondered, when they went next time, would I like them to get some for me and drop it off as they went past! It really made my week, and was delicious.
