Just that really - would you have quietly stocked up on hand sanitiser? Done something sooner? Taken up a hobby? Changed job?

Appreciate every moment of your wonderful life exactly as it is. It's about to be a bit shit for a while.

Ooh good question!

I’d tell myself to:

Go on holiday NOW.

See as much as possible of your parents. Maybe ask them if they’d like to move in while you’re on mat leave.

Go out, see friends!

Go to the tip. Was putting it off for months, now our garage is full of crap and we're moving in 2 weeks. Slots for the tip disappear within minutes (I check every hour).

Not put the car in for its mot the day lockdown began (before mots we’re all extended anyway). Car has been shut in the closed garage waiting for a relatively minor part ever since.

Sell most of my shares and stop using up my Brexit stash. Stock up on paint make DS1 sit his driving test instead of procrastinating.

Don't book that bday trip you've been planning for April. Also stock up on paint just incase you have to stay in and have nothing productive to do.
