To ask what you've learnt about yourself during lockdown?

[Lsquiggles]

I used to always wish I had the time to garden, it looked so fun and relaxing. Now I have the time to garden I bloody loathe it, it's too hot and never ending. Will happily give that job back to DP

That I love having lots of hobby time and eating out is overrated.

I'm happy with very little. And I don't miss people.

I really like cycling and it’s good for my mental health. I hadn’t ridden a bike since I was a kid.

That my years of being an antisocial harpy were all just training for this And that I am quite happy not going anywhere

That I must stop procrastinating and look for another job ( been furloughed for 9 weeks and not missed my job nor thought about it for one second )

I really need to go out and about. Staying in is sending me insane.

That I can eat an unholy amount of crisps.

That maybe I’ve more laid back/resilient than I thought?

I’ve always been a bit of a sweat the small stuff type person but during lockdown I’ve been quite calm and haven’t let the small things get to me as much. I wonder if it’s having a larger, more scary issue hanging over me that’s put things in perspective? And maybe having stressors like the commute removed has helped.

How lucky I am to have to my husband who has been AMAZING during lockdown!!

I can do home schooling. I’m not perfect yet but much more patient than I thought.

That I really love being a single parent. I have to handle all the sleepless nights and teething but I also get all the kisses, cuddles and big moments, such as DS's first steps. Lockdown has made me slow down and spend more time focusing on DS and I simply love it.

I already knew this but it has been confirmed, I don't give a shit about the ins and outs of politics they're all the same and nothing really happens. I also think the media will eat itself

I'm happy working from home and not socialising!

That I honestly don’t really miss anyone other than my dm. Could happily live without the in-laws, also. Not really sure what it says about me to be honest ..

I could be a CBeebies or blue peter presenter

I am more creative and resources than I gave myself credit for.
I am actually good in our own little bubble
It's confirmed I am a bit of a control freak

My hubby is brilliant, but I knew that before.

That I'm not one of the many on here with a brilliant marriage.

That two parents being on lockdown in stressful wfh jobs with two kids is making my relationship unbearable.

Exercise makes an unbelievable amount of difference to my resilience and happiness.

I am lazier and greedier than i realized.

That I don't have any real friends. And that my (now Ex) partner never really loved me

I'm much less anti social than I thought I was. I miss people.

I'm also not a natural gardener.

I am much happier when the sun is out (to be fair I knew that anyway but this has well and truly proved it)

That if I sleep (and wake) at something closer to the hours my body tells me, then I feel so much healthier. Not sure how I’d work that around the school run though!

That I was always rushing like a mad March hare before, and I’m happier doing less.

That I really really like going to the pub

That I need to start saying no firmer when I dont want to socialise. Being in a bubble with my husband and daughters has been amazing

That I love gin

That I'm an extrovert who sucks at teaching anyone anything.
