Under House Arrest day 9

We spent today in I did my exercise on the bike and we eat light ( although I did have a vodka and diet coke tonight) thought it might help me sleep as I finding it  pretty hard, at the moment. I know dreams are the brains way of processing stuff, but mine have been a bit vivid and quite frankly scary. Nothing I can put my finger on, as soon as daylight breaks they disappear like a word on the tongue that you know but escapes you... I'm just left with the sensation of unease, and an inability to drift off again. 
Today I tried to do the pop-up flower pot card, but, it didn't go to plan so I gave up for now. I'll manage it eventually like I did the snowman card at Christmas, it's going to take a few mockups before I'm happy with it. No rush and I like a challenge if I'm honest. I'll get Kev to have a look too see if he can see where I'm going wrong. 
Also, some of my chapter two Tim Holtz stuff came today. So I had a little play with them. I only buy a couple of the new releases these days as I've learned that Sizzix tend to put them on sale after each chapter, and if you are prepared to wait you can get some right deals. 
With the obsessive hand washing because of this deadly virus we were getting down the hand wash like no body's business and finding it in the shops is as rare as finding loo rolls. So I've found a huge 5 litre canister on the smiley box site if castille soap. I wouldn't say it's cheap, but you get what you pay for, it is fantastic unscented and less drying than some if the stuff I've bought in the past. Plus you use very little ( it reminds me of the Molton Brown stuff) half a pump gives you lots of lather. The beauty is with it being 5 litres you can just top up your existing pump dispensers when you need to. I would imagine you could add essential oils if you wanted. I'll let you know how long it lasts. I try not to use sanitizer when I have access to a sink, a day at work will see my hands red raw from using it constantly. Anyhow, that's about my round up for today. Hope you are all keeping well.
