WTF is going on right now. After this week's protests my FB is going crazy with people all divided and arguing, emotions are so high at the moment.Huge crowds gathered in our city centre without any social distancing and a few violent break outs I just feel so upset by it all. Shall we just skip to next year??

Yes please especially if it means I get to skip months of homeschooling and dieting off the lockdown pounds...

TrickyWords · 07/06/2020 22:58

Genius idea. I’m well up for that!

BogRollBOGOF · 07/06/2020 22:59

My waist has exceded it's post Christmas peak.

I've had the heating on too.

Today has felt like the second of January where everything is all deflated and another 29 days of January loom ahead.

Yup just press the FF button.

TokyoSushi · 07/06/2020 23:01

Yes please! We start home school again tomorrow and I've got a bad case of being properly sick of this whole thing tonight!

Flymetothetoon · 07/06/2020 23:04

Liking the idea of putting our Christmas decs up - something has to take the place of Happy Clappy Thursday after all 🙄

DelurkingAJ · 07/06/2020 23:06

Thank you, OP, where do I sign up, please?

Youngatheart00 · 07/06/2020 23:07

I’m willing the return of the good weather so as long as we get a warm summer I’m not in a rush for Christmas. Tbh the thought of covid plus autumn / winter is quite depressing.

DamnYankee · 07/06/2020 23:22

Yes, please!

Well we lit the fire this afternoon/evening - it’s a start!
It’s not particularly cold where we are (actually it’s warm) but we went out for a rainy walk and came home, showered and got into comfy clothes. I came down to find dh had lit the fire and he and the dc were all sprawled around it talking about Christmas Grin
It’s bloody June but was so lovely as a one off, we won’t be doing it again until it gets actually cold!

HairyFloppins · 07/06/2020 23:29

Yes. Lets just bloody skip 2020 and the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, ....... 100th waves.

SomethingOnce · 08/06/2020 02:21

I’m not that fussed about Christmas but, yeah, sounds good!

PhilCornwall1 · 08/06/2020 05:18

OP, people will still be banging on about the 450th wave of covid and how we should lockdown even harder, dress in bin bags, sit in a darkened room, eat dust and never come out.

They'll be saying that the schools should never open again, even though they are really thinking:

"I know I banged on endlessly about closing schools and locking down, but I really hate it and I only thought it would be for 3 weeks. I can't make myself look a twat now and say I want it over".

BooseysMom · 08/06/2020 05:27

Oh God please no Christmas yet! I was only saying to in-laws yesterday do you think it will be a lock-down Christmas? All gathered round Santa wearing masks! Santa at least could blend it in with his beard Grin

We're on our last week of home schooling as DS goes back to school next week. I feel in two minds about it now since alot of his friends won't be there as the mums are saying it's too early. But when will it ever be the right time? It's so hard to know what is the right thing to do.

So yes let's just skip the rest of this year and pretend it never happened.

Rebeccayummymum · 08/06/2020 06:31

Oh yes please. I've had enough of this year

Dickorydockwhatthe · 08/06/2020 08:32

God knows what other crazy shit is going shit is going to happen next 😭

Come off social media. Best thing I ever did.

Twothousandzerozero · 08/06/2020 10:07

Oh yes please! Me and DH are currently working our way through all the comedy iPlayer has to offer in a desperate attempt to escape reality .. might put the Gavin and Stacey Christmas special on tonight, to get me in the mood! Grin

SomethingOnce · 08/06/2020 12:40

We can pretend we’re Australian and have Christmas barbecues! (I’m even less fussed about barbecues than I am about Christmas, but in for a penny... Grin)

Drunken oblivion from now until NYE and have another crack at life then.

YesIDoLoveCrisps · 08/06/2020 12:44

I watched that last night. And I wore my Christmas slippers.
