Positive thread about what we are all doing today

Today I feel like I find myself in a bit of a new world. I’ve switched off my personal social media as it’s doing my head in. I’m continuing with my cooking instagram account as it’s food-based stuff only and is a bit of an outlet/hobby.

I’m thinking a thread about all of the ways in which we are keeping busy/sane might be nice without mentioning the new C-word. I’ll start.......

8-9: Work emails and daily work call
9 - 11: Me and DS (6) are doing PE with Joe Wickes then we are going to do some ‘home school’ - whatever he wants to do.
11-12: Hopefully, my Tesco delivery turns up without too much missing between 10-11 and I have to deliver food to 2 elderly relatives
12-1: We have decided as a family of 3 to do the daily mile and then have lunch together
1-5: DH takes over with DS and I work upstairs.

Once DS is in bed later I’m going to do an hour of yoga and write a plan for tomorrow.

I'm teaching staff so going to work today. Much as I feel apprehensive about mixing with other people, I know my effort is important and I'm looking forward to seeing the children. There won't be many in school.

Then home for shower and decontamination and snuggles with my DC.

Have a good day OP. Seems like a great plan especially the yoga.

I’m interested in Joe Wicks PE.... what ages is it suitable from? We have ages from DSD4 to DS11?

We get up/washed/fed at 8.
Home school until 12.30
A half hour walk.
“Cooking” which is them making their own lunch And eating it until 1.30
Then Everyone is free to do whatever they want until dinner/baths/bed.
We are sticking to normal bedtimes for now. X

I will be working, popping out to get some potting compost, a trip to the post office, taking DD to work, OH atarts work at 4pm today too.

Same really. PE with JW then home school. I can't work from home so I'll be supervising while also doing some housework. Might make a cake to cheer us all up.

I'm going to work today. Although I doubt I will be doing very much. I have a couple of people to notify about things being cancelled and then it will be a case of waiting for the next thing to be cancelled. I will happily sit there and drink lots of tea while I wait. I'm making the most of it. Because by this time next week I think I will be redeployed to something else.

DH has the kids at home this week.

@ItStartedWithAKiss241 this is the first one so not sure but he has said suitable for all in the promo stuff. Give it a go. You don’t have to do it at 9, it will be available on his YouTube channel afterwards

How does the Joe Wicks PE thing work? I've never watched something live on YouTube! I mean I've watched lots of things on YouTube but not live, help!

Waxonwaxoff0 · 23/03/2020 08:15

I'm going to work. No idea how much longer we will be open for, we're a non essential business.

FormerlyFrikadela01 · 23/03/2020 08:20

Well me and DS (3) have just had breakfast, hes playing with trains and I'm watching big bang theory to take my mind off things.

This afternoon we will bake, play in the garden then do tea.

Me and DP both work in the NHS so we are tag teaming ds around our shifts this week. Hes sad to not being at nursery but he seems to be enjoying playing with his trains.

@ArtisanPopcorn just subscribe to his channel apparently and then you can see it when it goes live. I’m a newb too so hoping it works, had to create a YouTube account earlier
