You have a time machine and can back exactly six months - what advice would you give yourself?

[Grumpylockeddownwoman]

Just that really - would you have quietly stocked up on hand sanitiser? Done something sooner? Taken up a hobby? Changed job?

Shares in Andrex would've been a good shout, too!

Go on nights out and kiss a load of random men while you have the chance 😂

Stocked up on flour, yeast, and tins, and made sure that the food in the freezer wasn't so blah.

You’re about to be offered a job. Don’t take it. for reasons that take too long to explain, the kids are about to need a lot more from you...

I'd have got another job.. I am stuck in a job I hate and wanted to get at least a year under my belt so it didn't look bad on my CV.. I completed the year by the end of Feb and was ready to hit the job market.. I'd already been for a few interviews and even turned an offer down as I thought I could get something better. Now I don't know how long I'll be stuck where I am, although i do realise I am lucky to have a job at all when others are losing theirs.

I'd have gone to the hairdresser, dentist, nurse and physio before March. Stocked up on bread flour and yeast and bought some outdoor toys.

Don't bother booking the kids swimming lessons (I think all the progress they made Jan- march will be lost now

If not, then - eat out at least once a week for the next six months.

You know how you worry all the time but feel like you don't really have anything to worry about!?

Well that's gonna change.
