I've just eaten pasta in a tortilla wrap. And I usually follow a low carb diet

That's not a fall from the wagon, that's a throwing yourself off with wild abandon! 🤣

Never mind, tomorrow is a new day x

sobersides · 18/04/2020 16:24
  • Start the new job that I should have started a couple of weeks ago.
  • Celebrate my divorce that is due to be made absolute around early May
  • Diet like fury for a themed hen do I've just found out about in December
  • Hopefully pack youngest DD off to uni in September

Smile I just recieved the info that my (small - like 1 customer at a time + independent) hairdresser is allowed to open under strict protection rules from the 4th May.
I went on treatwell and booked the earliest appointment I could get (15th). Let's hope it happens.

Rebelwithallthecause · 19/04/2020 08:15

That’s positive. Does that mean official distancing guidelines are beginning to be relaxed?

Prokupatuscrakedatus · 19/04/2020 09:00

It is positive - it's only hairdressers that are allowed to open at the moment.
Book shops were allowed to remain open all the way if the could provide safety. The independent bookshop next door took orders via mail and phone, put a large table across the door and distancers on the sidewalk and will probably survive.

(I am in Berlin.)

pastaparadise · 19/04/2020 09:18

From responses on here it looks like hairdressers, beauticians, restaurants will be very busy!

I would live to book some holidays but assume everywhere will also be insanely bysy as soon as it's possible and i hate crowds

I will hug dm
Visit bro and his family
Plan a big bbq for friends
Go on some day trips with the dc - would love to get to the beach or go camping
will have to curb spending in case dp loses his job in the recession, but apart from a holiday and a haircut I'm not after anything else
try to keep up the veg plot we've started

TheGinGenie · 19/04/2020 09:27

See my boyfriend

Zisforstripyoss · 19/04/2020 09:32

I want to take the DC to Disney world, we've been putting it off due to finances, but I think they deserve it!

IceCreamAndCandyfloss · 19/04/2020 09:42

Get my hair done
See friends
Go shopping as haven’t been near any stores in weeks

Would love to go away but won’t be booking anywhere until it’s definitely safe to travel again.

Rebelwithallthecause · 19/04/2020 13:49

I thought of another one today, I really fancy a mr whippy

Nothing from supermarket comes quite close

Joyfulincolour · 21/04/2020 19:15

Just thought of another one.....I’m going to spend a lot more time in my garden and less time at work 😀

MrsMaudwatts · 21/04/2020 21:44

1.Go out on my paddle board
2.Have a Sunday roast in a lovely pub
3.Take my kids to the coast, swim in the sea, have fish and chips on the beach
4.Book tickets to see Hamilton with friends and have dinner in my favourite restaurant afterwards
5.Re-book missed trips (if ££ allows)
6.Show off my weight loss (hopefully!)
7.Book haircuts for me and the dcs

Nogodsnomasters · 21/04/2020 22:00

Go to work and catch up with work friends. Visit the graveyard my mum and sis are at. Try to rebook my holiday with my voucher they gave me. Meet up with my friends to go dancing! Take my son to the zoo or farm (or both, why not), get my eyebrows done and my hair cut.

Not a glamorous life but I miss it.

Ellmau · 21/04/2020 22:01

Go and see my mum.
Try and reorganise holidays.
Go to library.
Buy new tv where I can see it in a showroom.

Butterbeeeen · 21/04/2020 22:01

Visit my family so we can grieve the loss of a much loved family member who passed away just before lockdown. Couldn't even hug at the funeral.

Meet my friends in the pub for a catch up

Get married (hopefully if the lockdown is lifted in time)

poppym12 · 22/04/2020 12:46

Scatter my dad's ashes with my mum's.

Astella22 · 22/04/2020 12:50

Have a chat with everyone I meet
Go out for dinner
Holiday

TheDoctorDances · 22/04/2020 13:03

MrsMaudwatts

Hamilton is amazing. Worth the wait for tickets. I've had tickets booked for three different musicals cancelled so far this year!

I want to go on a long walk with my dog, then dine in a fancy country pub. Can't normally afford it but I will treat myself.

sofato5miles · 22/04/2020 13:22

Fly to see my boyfriend

ZiggeryZaggy · 22/04/2020 13:23

Cut my hours down at work. DP looking to do the same.

When moving house, go for one at the bottom of my budget rather than the top.

Spend a lot less on takeaways and other things we don’t really need. Take the children for cheaper days out - beach and country walks rather than paying for expensive visits to local attractions.

Difficultcustomer · 22/04/2020 13:24

Friends for dinner
Then depends on how things open up
Living with parents atm so go and collect the pile of mail I’ll have
Waxing/hair cut/manicure
Gym
I need a few new clothes, depending on what size I end up
Presumably last will be pubs and restaurants so meals out with friends then travel abroad
