Joystir, I have also used the vulnerable rules - "sorry DCs, you're not allowed to stay in the same room as me so you're going to have to sort it out yourselves" 😂

'I know he likes to potter round the shops but we like him alive'

If you break any bones, you'll have to heal that way and have them rebroken in three months time - we are NOT going to the hospital.

"Dont walk too fast, we cant get too close to these people the path isnt wide enough to overtake them."
We were walking our dogs and an older couple was strolling in front of us.

How was Sainsbury’s baby, did you wash your hands and disinfect your shopping when you got back?

Said to my daughter by me today .

When dad picks me up, Tell him to stay in the car, I’ll sanitise my hands before i get in (as people touch the flat door handles).

Said by my daughter to me, as she’s coming home. ( yay)

Sad times indeed.

Did you bleach that parcel?

Going to bed last night on the 14th day of self isolation:
"Only a few more hours until I can go outside! The sooner I sleep, the sooner morning will come."

Yes of course you can download Fortnite.

I even miss the drive to Fleetwood.

And DH to me: do you mind if I do the food shopping this week?
Me: no I suppose it’s not fair if I get to do it every week 😂

He’s never done a big shop in his life!

whatnametopick · 31/03/2020 21:54

To dh, your rations are on the side
To dm, how many toilet rolls do you have?

"Let's go and look at these dead rats then, they sound interesting, do you remember where in the field they were?"

user127819 · 31/03/2020 21:42

"The supermarket was really well-stocked. They had toilet paper and everything! And I only had to queue for 5 minutes to get in."

*BettySundaes

To DH "You can't eat 3 slices of toast, that bread has to last a week" reply "We can make bread if we run out" "No we can't flour is rarer than bread"*

I told DH off for using the "nice" bread to make croutons, and the kids need to share a bag of crisps BUT TIP INTO BOWL NOT BOTH HANDS IN THE BAG!!😂😂

"It's so light in the evenings! I suppose by the time we're allowed out, the nights will be drawing in again..."

Who had eaten my egg (not the chocolate kind) I was saving that, actually tearful as I said it.

KoalasandRabbit · 31/03/2020 21:19

To DS: In Orleans in France the deer have reclaimed the city and there's photos of them sitting in the streets but they aren't observing 2 metres social distancing. (DH who is French showed me pictures from Facebook)

Me to DH: We only have about 1 day worth of soap left. We need to start advance planning on how we can get more as our local supermarket will have none.
DH to me: It's OK I bought a second one before.

BettySundaes · 31/03/2020 21:19

To DH "You can't eat 3 slices of toast, that bread has to last a week" reply "We can make bread if we run out" "No we can't flour is rarer than bread"

To DD on our daily walk "Keep looking ahead, if you see people you need to move out the way!!!"

DD "Why is there no Corona Virus in Antarctica .... because they ice-o-late".

Wash your hands
Course you can have Xbox live so you can play Fifa all day with your friends

‘Don’t touch that [amazon] box, put those gloves on first quick, and don’t put it on the carpet, put it in the kitchen floor, it’s easier to clean’ ‘nooooo, you have to take them off and roll them down inside themselves then put them straight in the bin, then go wash your hands to make sure they’re clean whilst I wipe down the outside of this monopoly box for you’.... 25 mins later... ‘right, there you go.. you can open it now!’ 😩😩😩
