Look for a silver lining wherever you can (lighthearted)

AIBU in thinking that one good thing that's come of all this CV nightmare, is that the wider MN community will have at least been spared eleventy billion threads on what to buy for a teacher's gift this year...

And the endless last day at school posts on facebook!

Theres a hypochondriac dickhead who comes into my work and complains about everything, and spits while he talks, and thinks the staff all go out of their way make his life a misery he's self isolating for 12 weeks apparently, it's been so peaceful the last couple of days.

If managed to do loads of washing this week, my laundry bin is almost empty :)

The kids wont get lice!

And there are no 'really important matches' on tv

No Eurovision 👍🏻

We are on lockdown in Europe. My husband can't go cycling

I can tell the difference between a Great Tit and a Blue Tit. I've taken time to work out which is which.

Massive drop in pollution levels meaning air quality is much better.

Communities pulling together to support each other (I might even learn my neighbours' names now as I will check that they are ok!)

My garden looks smashing with the extra time and my house has never been this clean😱

No eastenders
Less pollution
Less spread of other diseases
Realization of what really matters
More lye ins!

Now there isn’t endless sporting bollox for Dh to gape at of an evening, we have actually been spending some time together.

Seems like quite a nice bloke.

To reduce shopping I have gone for protein shakes for breakfast and lunch, I’ve lost a bit of weight, feel healthier and have got the exercise bike out of the loft. I have a disabled son and nearly all of my neighbours have asked if I need anything. Some I have never spoken to before.

This isn't the 80s with only 3 tv channels and only a landline and letter writing to keep in touch

We have the internet with a million suggestions on Pinterest for inspiration on how to keep children entertained. YouTube, Netflix, Amazon Prime, access to how to cook simple meal recipes. I am only concentrating on the good.

All the restaurants id normally have to eat at are now delivering so i can eat them on my sofa in my pajamas.

No Eurovision, reduced Brexit and Harry/Meghan.

I cleaned my oven

At the end of this we may become a lot more caring community. My garden is going to look fab, just hope garden centers stay open,. I’m saying with my 3 fav people in the world, dh and kids. Just desperately sad I’m not seeing my mum who is 100 miles away and 74.

I'm really glad the hotel in scotland that made its workers homeless got named and shamed. Its part of the beyond terrible Britannia chain. Whilst I don't want anyone to lose their job this chain needs to close. I stayed in one of their hotels last year and it was a truly horrific experience.

No mn threads about visiting mother in law on mother's day

Yes same here @Lorddenning1 my washing basket much more empty

Teaching DC essential life skills around house keeping ... cleaning, cooking, washing!
While DH an me are still at work.

We have multiple community pages. One for general, one for school, one for pta, the kids are sharing their drawings etc restoring faith in humanity!
