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?

I did everything beforehand. I knew the shit would hit the fan in 2020.

Brought some paint and wallpaper. X

Bought a basketball hoop for DS2 - all ridiculously overpriced now and out of stock

Stocked up the ingredients drawer - spices etc

Taken the dog to the groomers - she looks like a bloody bear already

to those saying hair.on instagram tongiht holly w.b did a live video of how she colours her own hair.i was really impressed actually if anyone wants to go check it out.done with one of those packets she advertises i think.

Been to the hygienist
Bought a new sofa - I'm spending quite a lot of time on this one!
Defrosted the freezer so I could fill it up properly rather than lose 10% of the capacity to ice.
Found someone to self-isolate with

Oh really @mindproject? What did you think was going to happen and how did you know?

Got haircuts for DS and me.
Bought some bits for baby due next month.
Cashed in my (stocks and shares) isa.
Bought a load of veg seeds and craft kits to keep DS amused.
Bought a pair of shoes next size up for DS as I think he is out growing his current pair.
Bought DS a birthday pressie (still time to get online, but I prefer to buy from a shop).
Got invisaline braces. Keep considering the idea but wouldn't want to wear the braces in public. In hindsight, now would've been the perfect time to sort wonky teeth!

Gone out for that piss up I was invited to.

Proper shoe fitting for the DC. I ordered the same sandals they had last year in their next size up but I'm really not sure I got it right. DS1's look a bit long and he keeps tripping over in them but then he might just be pretending to be Tag from Hey Duggee.

Well Brexit for starters. But also a lot of cover ups and things going on in the world of the elites and celebrities. The Epstein, Maxwell, Prince Andrew story should have been a massive eye opener for everyone. I had heard about a lot of the agendas, which are being played out now. Pay closer attention.

Haircut
Botox
Visiting family

Spent less, saved more.

Had my hair cut when I was supposed to (October).

Bought roofing felt for the shed.

I wish we had moved to our house in Spain before the Spanish lockdown, we have completed on our house in the UK and had to move out obviously, currently stranded in France in a holiday let , we are not allowed over the border to our home . Kids are pissed off as they don't have all there stuff. Not sure when we will get home . Living in limbo is doing my head in, been 2 weeks now .

Not faffed about with my operation date.. doh

Paint, grass seed, decking stain...

Hairdressers for me and dd, she was already well over due and is looking like Neil from The Young ones.

To al talking about paint B&Q are doing click and collect . My Tesco has fence paint and lots of it !

The hairdresser and dog groomer will have huge waiting lists when they open.

Written a will.

Bought a new mattress.
Stocked up on alcohol hand gel.
Wholemeal spaghetti
Chickpeas ( who t f has got all the chickpeas?)

I expect you can do a will at a solicitors and get somebody there to witness it, isn't legal business one of the permitted reasons for going out?

I was also watching and brought extras beforehand
Day before lockdown I went to b and q for paint and soil seeds etc
Also brought hand wash and toothpaste but forgot the shampoo we like and local supermarket doesn’t stock it

I think people were in denial about it coming.

Got a load of utter crap DHs obsession with boxes and cables out of the garage to the tip. So I could move some more utter crap DH next obsession out of the house into the garage.

Fixed my broken iPhone screen.

Sold a bloody house. I'm going to lose thousands now.
