Ooh. I might do the Goldlilocks tray idea today, what a lovely easy set up.
I really am not looking forward to isolating. The thing is, I am a massive homebird, love being at home, love my own company, but I have to finally concede defeat here, nine months on from the start of lockdown, and I have finally had enough of it!
Today is my wallow in misery/plan the next two weeks day. Today I wallow, tomorrow I pull my socks up. So we're having a picnic breakfast of brioche and grapes on the sofa, and too much telly this morning, which means I can plan/write lists/drink too much coffee/weep. DD was up a lot last night with a molar coking through and in the space of two weeks I've lost the adrenalin edge of getting up at night and managing on less sleep, so it's all very painful 
List so far
- reordered Five Minute Mum- last copy didn't arrive and I had to get my money back- ebay so crap these days- so I've just ordered new off Amazon
- Clean out the fridge (DD loves helping with this job)
- Baker Ross hedgehog craft set - also decide on/make a start on Christmas crafts to give as gifts this year (tree footprints on canvas, decorate your own baubles- really didn't want to start this so early but needs must
- I have one of those Jusroll cinnamon swirl packets - will get DD to help make them the next dry/sunny morning then take them into the garden for an outdoor picnic breakfast
- Make Christmas cake, try out a few new soup recipes (this is where the kinder kitchen knife earns its keep!)
- Bring DD's trucks in from the mud outside, get her to wash them, then do the construction/rice krispie tuff tray.
- Make hedgehog bread (thank you to the PP who reminded me of this!)
- "North Pole" themed tuff tray - freeze ice cubes (with glitter in!) add some holly or pine from the garden, build a mini igloo, print out related colouring pages for DD to mess with. Might splash out on a Schliech figurine or two for this, she was getting some for Christmas anyway but I'm desperate now. I could also add some LED lights and see how they glow and reflect through the ice cubes, that sort of thing.
- Lots of garden time of course, though DD has developed a hatred of strong wind, which is bloody inconvenient when you live on a hill near the sea.
- Bath/bedtime routine themed tuff tray - shallow Tupperware of bubbly warm water, toothbrush, flannel, pieces of soap, DD'S doll. Printouts/songs about brushing teeth etc. Could do something with shaving foam here too.
-There's lots of housework I could do with catching up on - I have a child sized brush and mop set which hang from keyholders in the kitchen, so DD is quite good at pottering around and generally "helping"
I'm also going to set out our outfits for the next couple of days. Comfy but decent and nothing you wouldn't answer the door in - leggings, long line tshirts and hoodies/cardis for me, leggings and tops for DD. We did this during lockdown, and made it a rule that we had to be dressed, washed and brushed and looking neat by a certain time each morning, I think it was the single best thing we did.
It seems hard on DD2 that she has to isolate just because I am, and of course we've had DD1 with us during past lockdowns, she's brilliant at playing with her little sister, we'll miss her when she's at school
