What do you wish you'd done before lockdown kicked in?

[Dieu]

1. taken my dog to the groomer - he's like a walking cloud

1. bought more Primark 'cosy leggings' for my youngest. She has a few sensory issues with clothing, and lives in these. Typically, they've gone all holey since lockdown, and I'm not sure sewing that fabric would work.

What about you?

Bought more booze, bought more booze, bought more booze and oh yeah, bought more booze

Had my smear test instead of putting it off. :(

And I also wish I'd bought a breadmaker and loads of ingredients as I can't keep my family in bread.

Found a way to move my mum in with us or nearby.

Bought lots of plants.
Bought a swingball set.
Bought a trampoline.

Bought loads of plants. My only 'win' is that on 21st March I had my hair cut and bought paint for the shed. Shed now painted ,but I'm desperate for shrubs for my garden.Looking online for delivery.

💔 Same

Haircut & colour (my daughters are telling me to stop colouring it as they like my silver fox look)
Eye test (I had cataracts removed in November and could do with new distance and sunglasses)
Wax removal & hearing test, as I definitely need new hearing aids but on the plus side I will have the money to pay for them (€1,750 not including the Government grant of €1,000)
Dental checkup. I will probably need 10 fillings the way I'm going😩

Bought compost.

Stayed home and not got Coronavirus 🙄

Bought a lot more Alpro Oat UHT when it was £1, I have 12 cartons left which is probably a month max in our house.

Resigned. I was going to resign and then I decided to wait another couple of weeks. Don't feel I can/should now, logistical nightmare.

THIS! I had to cut his eyebrows today so he could see. he wasn't impressed.

Semi serious answer: bought more wine.

I'm in a state (in the US) where you can't get any alcohol delivered to your house, even by grocery delivery. Oh, and bourbon, because even if you go to the grocery stores, you can't buy any booze there, just beer and (very terrible) wine.

My dog looks like a zombie due to home haircut and I had to cancel a routine dental checkup, but I'm not hugely worried about either. There are days, though, when a small glass of a Sancerre would be so, so welcome.

Wish me and my dog had been doing our monthly stay over at my parents' house (in another city) so I didn't have to be in lockdown with my husband and be with them instead .

Being in lockdown with someone who 80% of the time speaks to me as if I have done something wrong - the constant scowl on the face and irritated tone is starting to get to me a bit!

I wish I had visited some of the museum's etc I was intending to. Will hopefully do some family days out after this horrible time is over.

Got my son's hair cut
Bought my Mum's birthday present as it's out of stock everywhere now
Been to the tip
Collected the rest of DS's stuff from his university flat now he won't be going back
Had the boiler serviced

Hair cut and re-coloured.
Dogs to groomers. I've had to get clippets for them on Amazon but afraid to use them in case I make look worse.

I was in hospital with my ill newborn until lockdown so I was almost completely out of food. Wish I had been as stocked up as usual as we really struggled to get anything due to the hoarders .
Also wish I had managed to get in to see the dentist and hairdresser as I'd had to put these off for months due to repeated hospitalisation. My partner managed to get a haircut the day before lockdown - it was already starting to look like a helmet so god knows how bad it would have looked by now .

I also wish I'd put my house on the market as one more month of lockdown with my neighbour from hell will not be a pretty result.

As soon as this is all settled I'll be marketing it in the hope no one realises what a twat she is before buying it.
Fingers crossed one of her daily visitors passes her a good dose of Coronavirus.

Got all my family together for a family photo.

Bought myself the massive TV I had been coveting, instead of having to watch on a tiny screen about the size of a placemat for the foreseeable future.

Absolutely the haircut, I was two days too late!

Taken my son for a haircut.

Taken a couple of dresses back to the shops.

Bought plants/seeds/soil and some bigger pots.

Collected books I ordered from the library.

Got paint testers for various decorating jobs instead of panic buying a 5 litre tin that I don't think I even like.

Finished renovations which would have meant having an extra living room and an office - this is my biggest regret and we have argued about it.

They were all on my to do list, I've only myself to blame
(and my husband, for the last one...)

Changed my broadband/tv package.

I wish I'd got some rubbish down to the tip.

Had my hair cut
Bought the kids shoes
Booked my smear test
Had my bloods taken for my thyroid

Definitely wish I'd had my eyebrows done, I managed to get my hair done which is unlike me

Ditto on the dog groomer... ours postponed our last appointment before lockdown so the poor critter was already overdue. I'm going to have to set my husband loose on him.
