Got symptoms though so no choice, I’m fuming I am.

“The fruit and veg wholesaler would only deliver 10kg bags of potatoes so we have lots of potatoes. Want some?”

“I put some potatoes in a bag behind your bin”

“I was going to make potato pancakes but we don’t have any flour. Why is there no flour in London?”

“It was great, because I thought I’d need my whole lunch hour to queue at the pharmacy but there were only ten people ahead of me”

“Remember when life wasn’t boring and terrifying at the same time all the time?”

I've loved reading these each day, I've laughed so much.

Lindy2 · 03/04/2020 23:21

Whilst on a walk - Well done DD you're quite good at opening gates with your feet now.

BluebellsareBlue · 03/04/2020 20:18

A genuine conversation from today.

DP - did you enjoy your bath? (As I come downstairs in fresh jammies with hair blow dried for a change - I've nothing else to do)

Me - oh yes

DP - the bath water was coming through the kitchen ceiling, I've sorted it though.

Me - oh no

DP - it's ok, it was a bit exciting really

Me - oh that's good.

Now normally it would be him moaning at me that it was my fault this happened and then bemoaning the fact something had gone wrong and we would need to touch up the kitchen or whatever, but there is not a thing we can do. Changed days indeed.

Have you disinfected that cat food?

Don't open that box without gloves!

"I have good news and bad news. The good news is that my paper for [international academic conference] was accepted! The bad news is that it's probably going to be cancelled because of coronavirus, so I'm not buying any plane tickets yet."

(PhD student, would have been my first proper conference presentation)

Also, about my click-and-collect order: "They had everything I wanted except the soap, rice, pasta and wine."

MilesJuppIsMyBitch · 03/04/2020 11:50

This isn't something I said, but something I did...

I clicked on a thread entitled 'How many loo rolls have you got? Be honest!' because I was interested.

What's happening to me??

Lordfrontpaw · 03/04/2020 11:34

I think I going to get around to painting the windows...

Or as the discussion went today: 'do you think you could murder someone in 7 minutes and hide the body?' (Disclaimer - I was listening to an audiobook on crime investigation and the presented told me to think about it!). DH says not, I'm not so sure...)

KoalasandRabbit · 03/04/2020 11:27

Me to DS: English have sent through an English writing competition as the literacy festival has shut. You don't have to do it, it's an optional extra. Write 500 words on this theme.

DS: I may do it if I get very, very bored and that may well happen soon. But 500 words Shock I can't keep to 500 words for a whole story, that would just be my introduction. It's not possible for me to be concise. I can think of a story but its dark, very dark.

Morning, everyone. We've been asked to move this over to Classics a few times now, so we're shifting it over for posterity. Hopefully one day we'll all look back on this thread and it will all seem like a dream!
