Things you could never imagine saying before 2020

[CompleteBarstool]

Today I found myself saying how much I love doing jigsaw puzzles.

Prior to lockdown the last time I did a puzzle (other than 4-12 piece ones with my DC about 15 years ago) was about 40 years ago.

What things did you never imagine saying?

"Don't forget your mask", to DH popping out of the car to go into the bank..

How many deaths today?

@mum2jakie

How many deaths today?

Very sadly, this.

"Ive washed the masks"

"Ive ordered some plastic visors, I can't be doing with the mask anymore"

"I think I need to ring an ambulance" ( due to Covid)

"I cant get up the stairs"

You get the drift, but my life changed this year for sure

'This is nice, it actually feels normal'.... Sitting on a balcony of (UK) hotel. It wasn't home, the sun was shining, didn't need a mask. Just watching families enjoy themselves. Like other summers.

"Six weeks with the kids and only soft plays or trampoline parks to go to is way too long and boring"

Have you got your mask?

Can you help me wipe the shopping?

They aren’t socially distancing.

Quick into the road, there’s some people coming down the pavement!

Sorry mum I won't be able to come in the house but I'll stand at the end of your driveway for a chat.

Ds move further away from grandad.

"I'll give you a virtual hug "

"Oh good, this pub has hand sanitizer"

"What's the death rate today?"

Ugh, 2020 ☹️

"I might go to the office today, who's in?"
"Found everything I needed at Tesco what a fantastic day!"
"It's alright mum I'll see you next year"
"I miss the gym"
"Wow your hair is so long!"

Don't touch her
No don't hold her hand
Don't cuddle him
No he can't have a kiss

Took DS a long time to be comfortable being touchy feely with people, now I'm constantly trying to stop him

Did you stay 2m apart?

Give Granny an air hug.

OMG look at them all standing together.

Whoop!! I got loo roll!
Ditto pasta
Ditto flour

"It's almost time for the nightly government briefing"

Her at number 17 has been out twice today. I'm gonna report her to the village facebook group, government hot line
I've just paid £4000 for a yorkshire terrier/ jack russell cross
Zoom -never heard of it prior to 2020
Is it ok to just buy a cucumber, chocolate bar, bottle of wine when I go to the shops.
Look at them covidiots on the beach.
Covidiots

Hmm, so many to choose from. y too ones are probably:

Dobson you think you'll ever work full time in the office again?

Are you still on furlough?

Wonder what the new normal will be In September..

They're using a statistical model to work out grades now that they've cancelled GCSEs.

So when do you think France will come off the air bridge?

Wallet, phone, keys, mask.

Bollox.

Oh my god I got a slot! I'm on a high now!

Using the word ‘bubbles’ for anything not drink or washing up liquid related.

Shit, it's 8pm, we need to go and clap.

To my 10 year old (during lockdown) "walk in the road"

I'd probably never used (or hardly heard) the word "unprecedented" until this year.

Or - shit, it’s 8pm - HIDE.

When dd goes out:
'Keep social distancing'
'Have you got a mask?'
