Mine is having baths. Normally only had time for a shower, but I'm appreciating relaxing in the tub!

Can’t believe I’m saying it but for me it’s been exercise. I’m a couch potato but have been exercising every day after work. I signed up to an online program and have been doing at least 40 minutes a day. It’s really helped me through the stressful times. Mind you, I’m still fat and unfit, just a little bit less so than 12 weeks ago.

More netflix, more MN. Very productive. Not.

Jigsaws. 4 x 1000 piece puzzles since the end of April and was given 3 for my birthday in June. I used to do one a year at best.

Walking. I tried running but got injury after injury so I decided to just walk, takes longer but I have more time on my hands lately! I love it! I get to listen to music and enjoy the fresh air. And I've lost weight. Not sure what I'll do come winter, I'm not keen on walking in bad weather but for now I'm happy out Smile

Cleaning! Everyone's one's at home so the place gets more dirty. Also working - I am really crap at splitting work from home so would often carry in working till 8 or later. Back in the office and I am out at 6! Even though I am supposed to leave at 5.30.

Eating and baking.

Worstyear2020 · 10/07/2020 20:14

Home cooking, great advantage of wfh.

dementedma · 10/07/2020 20:15

Walking to start with but that has lapsed. More sleeping. More baking. More drinking. More gardening. Way more boredom

GlassHouseYouGlassHouse · 10/07/2020 20:15

Eating. Drinking. Yoga.

Sleeping

ginsparkles · 10/07/2020 20:20

Cleaning! Being at home rather than at work has meant I have been able to spring clean and organise my house from top to bottom

SamSeabornforPresident · 10/07/2020 20:21

Walking around our local area. There are a couple of lovely walks around here (fairly inner city) that I had no idea about.

lljkk · 10/07/2020 20:22

Not sleeping. Insomnia is shocking.
Redecorating. I hate it, but badly needed doing.

Living in a pigsty of Hama beads, Lego, craft kits, paper...

Babs709 · 10/07/2020 20:25

Gardening... suddenly a big fan!

Eating and putting on weight Sad

coffeewithmilk · 10/07/2020 20:31

I've been on my phone a lot.. MN, Instagram, tik tok... just mindlessly scrolling.
I've also been doing more exercise, running at least 4-5 times a week.
More cooking (and eating)

lljkk · 10/07/2020 20:31

I have figured out how to be very good at Sudoku. Or so I fool myself.

Fandanglethat · 10/07/2020 20:31

Exercise. DIY, home improvement and decorating. Time with the kids. Zooming family. Time for myself.

Loved it!

Crunchymum · 10/07/2020 20:33

Eating and drinking wine.

lljkk · 10/07/2020 20:57
