Hi all, love the new title!

Nihiloxica · 13/06/2020 22:25

Why can't you embrace this wonderful opportunity to spend time with your family? Sad

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 13/06/2020 22:27

Problem is now I really want chips Blush.

@nihiloxica - I think dd has had enough of spending time with me!

borntohula · 13/06/2020 22:28

I thought chips had always been essential.

Littlebelina · 13/06/2020 22:28

I've just watched a fucking nationwide poetry ad so lockdown can properly fuck off

pandafunfactory · 13/06/2020 22:28

I spent time with family today, drove two hours, had lovely garden visit. We took picnic and cleaned loo etc on leaving. It was bloody marvellous.

PickAChew · 13/06/2020 22:29

Mmm. Chips.

Nihiloxica · 13/06/2020 22:29

Me too. But all our chippers close stupid early (not a New Normal problem).

Crisps will have to do.

I'm really fat now.

Lockdown achievement unlocked!

Disease vectors get no say in the matter.

Obvs.

TheGreatWave · 13/06/2020 22:33

Aye I've just spent some wonderful time with the family watching Frozen 2.

The line about how long they had been in the forest - "34 years, 5 months and 23 days"

Just describing lockdown then. Confused

AnxiousElephant77 · 13/06/2020 22:37

The bloody cuckoo woman on those Nationwide adverts Hmm

DrearyWallAntler · 13/06/2020 22:41

My god. The poetry.

dingit · 13/06/2020 22:42

We had fish and chips on the beach today. Delish. Smile

MinnieMountain · 13/06/2020 22:44

12 already?! I think I missed the last 2.

I'm working next week! There's no guarantee I won't be back on furlough after that, but it should get my poor atrophied brain going.

Is there any movement in Wales apart from schools @Waleshasgonecompletelycrazy?

Lickyicelollies · 13/06/2020 22:45

Chips and curry sauce or cheesy chips...?

HesterShaw1 · 13/06/2020 22:49

God I love chips. Chiiiiiiiiiiiiiiips.....with loads of salt and vinegar. Eaten in the fresh air surrounded by jealous looking gulls, with a bit of ketchup. I physically cant eat chips without ketchup.

AgentCooper · 13/06/2020 22:50

Checking in Smile

Had my first McDonald’s since March tonight. It was superb.

justasking111 · 13/06/2020 22:53

My trousers are really straining at the waist, hips, thighs tonight. I really have to go on a diet now, these are my fatter clothes a size up so I must get a grip soon.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 13/06/2020 23:01

Cheesy chips, @Lickyicelollies, curry sauce on the side for dipping. Best of both worlds, innit.

God that's just brought back a really clear memory of my post-pub chippy van order when I was in 6th form. Cheesy chips, onions and burger sauce. Fucking delicious. We used to sit and eat them in the middle of the big landscaped roundabout - it was closer than the park Grin.

I have pretty successfully avoided all live TV during lockdown, thank fuck for netflix and Amazon prime. I did try to watch a shit film on channel four or e4 or something 4 last night and I got really, really pissed off with the little "stay safe" logo in the corner the whole fucking time.

I don't want to be reminded of my enforced safety! Fuck off!!

Why are you wearing trousers?

Get into your jammies and grab some chips.

iamapixie · 13/06/2020 23:06

Oh that stay safe logo. Fuck the actual fuck off.

Allflightscancelled · 13/06/2020 23:11

Checking in. Oddly I'm not a massive chips fan but I've gone up a clothes size. I have consumed a prodigious amount of alcohol 🤫

TheGreatWave · 13/06/2020 23:14

I have pretty much lived permanently in pj /lounge wear trousers, I'm 'top dressed' so all sorted for zoom meetings.

AnxiousElephant77 · 13/06/2020 23:16

One of my FB friends has just used a term I thought we'd enjoy - Lockdowniacs.
