'Will you stop wearing so many clothes!' - to my DD who was getting through vast amounts of clothing. Bring back school uniform!

'Looks kids - I got a catering sized tin of beans!'

'I must remember my letter saying I'm a key worker in case I get stopped by the police on the way to work'

'Zoom meeting at 6 with nanny and grandad'

To my 76 year old mum whilst discussing why it would be best for her to stay in, instead of going shopping for unnecessaries... "just because your friends are doing it, it doesn't mean you have to do it too".

I wondered to myself whether putting a 4-pack of loo rolls on the passenger seat of the car would create a risk that someone would break in.

"This is 'I am not getting enough exercise' behaviour".

When dd asked why the dog was rolling around on his back grumbling and groaning on the floor.

I don’t think they will expect you to go to Spain to renew it under the circumstances.

No you cant have pasta for tea we need to ration it

Poor ds it's about the only thing he eats

"Oh alright then, let's buy all the expansion packs we need for Sims 4 seeing as they're half price... yay!"

"Fucking cyclists! The only ones who don't keep to the 2 metre rule! Do they think they going too fast to drop the virus on us or something...TWO METRES MATE!!!" bellowed after him.

"Oh fgs, I will write your essay dd, it will take me ten minutes to bash out what will take you three hours but you need to read it and learn it after, ok?!". I couldn't take the anxiety and tears anymore - she's autistic.

I almost miss Brexit

"I got a click and collect slot and even managed to get toilet roll in the basket"

Explaining why I was up at 4am.

To my siblings on a WhatsApp group chat about our elderly parents:

‘OK, softly, softly hasn’t worked, we need to frighten them into staying in. Ideas?’
‘I could tell them they won’t even get a funeral if they die now.’

To DS (7): ‘STEP AWAY from the old people, you’re a super-vector!’

WobblyLondoner · 31/03/2020 23:03

To my DP "oh my god, they had olive oil! And flour".

“I’ll take tomorrow off as there won’t be enough patients for both of us.”
Said to other nurse yesterday.
Work as surgical nurse in private hospital in Australia.
The calm before the storm as all non urgent surgery cancelled.

HeyLala · 31/03/2020 22:58

I've just baked bread.
Who am I?

30daysoflight · 31/03/2020 22:56

To my DH a few days ago, "omg I have a delivery slot".

After delivery to my DH, "oh look how much money we have saved. I ordered 70 quids worth of shopping but it only cost us 20 quid". Hmm

InconvenientPeg · 31/03/2020 22:55

To friends: my parents are lying to me about going out, they said they hadn"t been anywhere but my brother just told me they went to the chemist. It's like having another set of really old, disobedient kids!

And: what date is her birthday? We need to drop the card off so they have enough time to quarantine it before she opens it.

Ginfordinner · 31/03/2020 22:48

"Stay well"
Everyone is saying that round here.

amprev · 31/03/2020 22:45

I can't wait to go and pick up my veg box from the market.

"I wonder if you'll be furloughed ".

'I saw three lots of couples shopping together in M&S, I didn't think that was still allowed'

amazedmummy · 31/03/2020 22:43

Oh and "quick cross the road, someone's coming"

sunandrose · 31/03/2020 22:42

Did you bleach the milk bottle?

amazedmummy · 31/03/2020 22:42

"No you can't go to the shop again we went on Sunday."

"No we can't go out for a walk we've had our exercise for the day"

Gingenius · 31/03/2020 22:41

‘Get in we’ve got some chicken in the freezer: maybe if I cook the shit out of it it’ll be ok’ (we’ve been veggie for over two years Grin

MayTheGodsBeEverInYourFavour · 31/03/2020 22:41

We're rationing the fruit
And the chocolate
You can wear that another day...
