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?

Also - baking. I'm restricting the amount of baking I do (although I currently have scones in the oven...) because I'm almost out of flour, and it's driving me crazy!

This too!! Apart from the scones in the oven

All the things I took for granted - late night shopping for all sorts of odd things like fresh pineapple. Getting my hair cut and my nails done!

Starting IVF, if we’re still able to, I’m just about to hit the age cut off for our 1 funded round (35 in our area) and understandably everything is now cancelled.

Hugging my Mum and Dad

Seeing my parents. They are sheilding and it is so hard already not seeing them. I can't imagine how it will feel after 3 months!

Getting back to karate classes.

Having a shag, yes definitely- but more just hugging DP. That hug where you bury your nose into their neck and feel safe and happy Blush

Going on holiday.

Just having the freedom to do or not do anything really.

Seeing my dad and friends, I'm really social and see them a lot and I'm missing chatting and seeing them.

Meeting friends In a pub beer garden on a sunny day. I get really low in winter and live for spring arriving so to be stuck at home now is a nightmare. I'm making my daily dog walk last a fair while, poor dog is knackered.
