"I know you want prawns darling, but we don't have another shop arriving for 10 days. No, daddy can't go to the shops just to buy you prawns".

Our house is like a running commentary of the "overheard in Waitrose" twitter feed.

"They actually had loads of toilet roll!"

"Stand back and let these people go past first"

"I can't, I've already left the house once today"

To my fiancé - "I'm so pleased we had to cancel our wedding" (we were due to get married 7/4/2020 but I lost my job).

StartupRepair · 01/04/2020 05:05

To DD excitedly. 'When have you got another uni assignment due? Can Dad and I review it?"

StartupRepair · 01/04/2020 04:57

Just tidying the bedroom before I log on to the gym.
I got lots of cash out last week in case there was a run on the bank.

GADDay · 01/04/2020 03:44

Yes yes to

Leave the non perishables in the garage for 2 days so the germs die...

GADDay · 01/04/2020 03:42

Please wear a mask and gloves and use hand sanitiser - said to a pest control person before he came into the house.

"We're stranded in the outback!"

steff13 · 01/04/2020 02:49

In my hearings today, when I was concluding, I told both parties to stay safe and healthy.

lborgia · 01/04/2020 02:45

I told the dog to fuck offBlush. It's turning me into a short tempered witch.

Edit: it's turning me into even MORE of a short tempered witch.

I've left the back gate open for you, strip down to your boxers and I'll open the back door for you...

My five year old school refuser; "mummy, I want to go to school".

Blizzardwhizard · 01/04/2020 02:29

I only saw 3 people with masks on.

Blizzardwhizard · 01/04/2020 02:23

Doorball rings

We stare at each other and say
"Whos that"

I then edge slowly towards the door and try to figure out who it is, without them seeing me ....

(Turns out it was a delivery and they left it on doorstep)
We have isolation stickers on the doors, saying, knock and step back 2 meters from the door. Leave parcels etc

BiarritzCrackers · 01/04/2020 02:22

"If the police stop you and ask why you're driving DS home this late, you could say it's because he hasn't adjusted to BST yet."

(to exH after we handed over later in the evening than intended).

Blizzardwhizard · 01/04/2020 02:19

Put your gloves in the bin, wash your hands, don't touch your face. You need clean gloves

😱

This bug is actually turning me into a mental wreck

hazandduck · 01/04/2020 02:18

To DH coming back in from taking the bin out “Have you done the door handle?” (As in disinfected.)

To my friend on FaceTime “We got all that fruit and veg for £12.50,” (got a big box delivered) and then “Yeah it’s great they just phone and say it’s outside, we just left it in the garage for a couple of days to let the germs die.”

Also on Sunday watching Songs of Praise “When do you think we will see so many people together like that again?” :(
