What are you most looking forward to doing after all of this is over?

[sockittome123]

I'm determined to keep positive and keep facing the future. I can't wait to go food shopping without being paranoid of being accused of panic buying. I can't wait to go out and meet up with all the people to whom I keep saying "we need to meet up some time!" I can't wait to return to normal.

Anyone else clinging on to hopes for the future?

Going for a walk without having to think too much about it!!

Smelling mud and grass and trees and cuddling my mother and daughter

Getting out the other side without loosing anyone. Seeing and hugging family again properly.
Seeing and hugging my friends and their kids.
My caravan trips with my family. They've all been cancelled.

Getting the fuck out of the UK.

Meeting my new great nephew. He was born just before lock down but was in hospital , when he came home the county locked down.

My son and daughter being able to go to school/nursery, play in the park, play with other kids. Be able to take my kids out to fun places. My sister being able to get married. Being able to visit my parents.

Seeing my parents. I have a terrible fear that they’ll get sick and I might never see them again.

Telling work to get stuffed.

taking my kids to grandma and grandpa 😢

Going to the play park with my daughter and walking in the forest.

Hugging my parents ,kids and grandkids ,walking along the beach with my partner ,sitting in the beer garden of a pub with my daughter and her friends , arguing with my boss over who was buying the coffee from the local coffee shop , just the things I took for granted

Seeing our friends.

Eating out. We eat out at least 3x a week, so this is already weird.

The gym!

Seeing my 15 month old grandson. He tried to high five us through the tv screen on skype tonight. 😭😍

Just normal, everyday things really. I live alone and work from home so;

• hugging someone
• meeting friends & family
• eating out
• going on holiday
• day trips
• getting the train
• getting my hair/skin done
• pilates classes
• planning trips/days out/events/anniversaries

In the meantime though, I’m going to enjoy the peace and quiet.

Seeing the ocean, it's not far from where I live, I usually drive past it on the way to work, I've never taken it for granted and have always appreciated it but I can not wait to see it again.

See my mum and MIL.

DD desperate to see her lovely friend who has a weak immune system so is confined to the house. Its very hard for her at 14

Also looking forward to a box of eggs... can't seem to find one anywhere

Swimming. It's the only thing I can't replicate at all at home. I miss it, and DCs both sobbed when they found out they wouldn't be swimming for quite some time.

Meeting with friends. Video calling just isn't the same.

A holiday.

Giving my 84 year old grandmother a hug.
Having coffee with my mum.
Going out for breakfast.
Having a couple of hours break from my wonderful but full-on toddler..!

Not having to cross the road when I see another pedestrian coming.

Seeing my mum for a belated Mother’s Day meal out.

Going out to a live gig and losing myself in the music surrounded by other sweaty dancing people. Perhaps even a sneaky kiss with someone perchance?

Driving my car as far as I want without fear.

Being on my own. I love my dh and 3 kids but am already struggling with having to prop them all up and keep them going emotionally, and am desperately craving a few hours on my own, with no one needing anything from me.

Being able to to a food order online
Being able to buy toilet roll without it being a military operation
Sitting in a pub or coffee shop
Eating out in our favourite local indie restaurants
Going to the theatre
Going on holiday

Seeing my two kids with grandparents and all the family they are missing
Having a fillet tower burger and KFC gravey
Going to the seaside
Seeing my best friends and their kids
Going out out and having a Gin or 20
Going to Smyths with my kids
School run
The list could go on forever, I get belly butterflies when I think of the day it's all over, it can't come quick enough

Celebrating my dd’s birthday properly. She turned 7 this week, her party’s been cancelled and she couldn’t see any family and we couldn’t take her out anywhere. She’s taken it all so so well she deserves the best party at the end of all this, whenever it may be.

Also hugging my parents.

Meeting my baby nephew, who was born a fortnight ago, first child to my little sister, only lives 20 mins away, but who we can’t see because firstly we were on household isolation and now the lockdown 😢☹️☹️

Seeing my Mum. I haven't seen her in almost a year and we were due to fly to my home country this week for her birthday this weekend 😔 we're hoping we can make it in December now. It'll have been almost 2 years since she will have seen me and her grandchildren by then 😭
