"Someone pointed out today that it's illegal for me to have sex, and it sounded really weird when they put it like that"

We had a delivery today and when the door knocked we all assembled at the end of the corridor to see from a distance who it was. It's the most exciting thing that's happened for at least a week.

Sounds like you live in a Marian Keyes novel! Grin

I've signed us back up for Netflix
I know the emergency wine box is pish but it was all they had

"Kids, quick, go to the window, Zoe's walking past, you can give her a wave!" Most exciting part of the day!

"Granny's going to Skype in a minute". My mum is a complete technophobe.

"I can't believe they haven't spaced out EastEnders. Monday and Tuesday is ridiculous, it's over so quickly and then we have to wait nearly a week".

"Ooo, I wonder what Gove will have to say today".

"My main form of social interaction has become hanging out with 11 year olds online"

(I'm a teacher doing remote learning before anyone calls the police!)

"I'm happy"

I'm an introvert with social anxiety and agoraphobia. Because of this we have turned our house into a place we really enjoy spending time in, because I really struggle to go out. For me this is the first time I've felt relaxed in a long while. Noone has left the house for any reason for 8 days. (We are lucky in that we have an indoor swimming pool and treadmill.) My husband (who we don't see much of due to work hours) is working from home to the delight of DS. We have time to talk, laugh, cook together and beyond the basics I'm not worried about school work. We will never again have this chance as a family to be together in this way. I am loving it.

'I'll take the kids for a drive'

InTheShadowOfTheMushroomCloud · 01/04/2020 00:55

I am just washing the shopping

Brother on phone: "Do you have hand sanitizer? I can drive over with a bottle."

Me: "Thanks, but that's not allowed. Hopefully I can see you in May, even if you have to stay in the car outside."

A sentence I never thought I would hear at 3am “Mum I can’t sleep, is it ok if I just do tomorrow’s school work now”
A sentence I never thought I would say at 3am “I don’t care if you play fortnite all night just don’t eat all the crisps and keep it down”
We are struggling to sleep in this house.

“Consider anyone that rings the doorbell to be contaminated.”

"DD thinks biscuits grow on trees" she had had 2 🙄

EveryDayIsADuvetDay · 01/04/2020 00:44

To complete stranger with friendly dog "She's lovely, but I won't stroke her"

SpillTheTeaa · 01/04/2020 00:40

To DP today 'omg I can get a delivery slot for tomorrow'

NellGwynsPenguin · 01/04/2020 00:33

I’m out of isolation, and feel so much better.

I’ve recovered from a pandemic!

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 01/04/2020 00:33

And to DDs who said next door’s cute little cat was in the garden
‘OH MY GOD, YOU DIDN'T TOUCH IT DID YOU?’

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 01/04/2020 00:32

I’m not going out for wine, it’s just not worth it.

RoseMartha · 01/04/2020 00:28

To dd
No we are not going to the shops just to buy you an eyebrow pencil. It is not essential for staying at home.

My parents when they ask why are the dc not in school. And i explain why they always say.
'It's not that serious is it?"

Now this would be ok if they said this maybe once or twice in total but since lockdown they call me and ask this about eight times a day!

Sorry but I don't understand the system. I thought Tesco was all one way now.

KatherineJaneway · 31/03/2020 23:49

I'm buying an exercise bike.

Can't go to the gym and a walk won't cut it not to mention the companies who now won't deliver heavier packages.

“I’ll pop it on my wheelie bin and go back in so you can get it. I have sprayed the bin - shall I do your parcel too or do you want to do it?” To my neighbour when handing over a parcel I took in for him.

Gazelda · 31/03/2020 23:33

Please, Joe, no more squats!

Flymetothetoon · 31/03/2020 23:22

To DH earlier when he was going to shop next door 'try and get some milk and a loaf of bread too'

He failed 🤷‍♀️
