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

[BlueJava]

That working from home is as productive and as cheap as I thought it would be - love it!

[Florabella]

That I'm a miserable git when I can't work

[panicstationsready]

Like @QueenofmyPrinces - my choice of husband was obviously spot on precisely for this occasion. I thought we did well spending 3 weeks in a camper van last year touring Oz but this just confirms it.

Actually discovered about myself? I can go for more than 3 days without a Costa. Who knew???

[Harrykanesrightsock]

That I would go out to the pub, restaurant or visit people to please my DH. I haven’t missed it one bit.

[HazelBite]

I realise that I am a very social animal, and I hate just not even being able to pass the time of day with people.
I have discovered bird watching as well, I'm going to join the RSPB.

[justanotherneighinparadise]

That I really enjoy growing vegetables!

[Fartlek]

That I'm not a natural multitasker.
That I'm not interested in teaching, at all.
That my DS is super cool and funny as hell.
That I married a very boring man who doesn't know how to chill out and have fun.

[IAmReportingYouForBBQing]

Fast food from the drive through is shit. I don't need it even though I spent £60 a month on it.

I really love my husband. He has been wonderful. We had a lazy spa that we bought tweet years ago. My arthritis has been crazy bad but every single day he checks and tests the water, empties it as needed and balanced the chemicals. Ah so I can fall out of bed and into the hot tub. I was so close to divorcing him just a few years so and we have totally fallen in love again so that's ace.

I need to see some friends. My island is not as tiny add I believed it was.

I love cooking. LOVE IT. Baking soothes my soul and my new stand mixer is the bomb.

I lover my children and the two eldest were built for lockdown. However, My youngest daughter is a massive social butterfly. I'm Just sorry she is missing her buddies.

[TheGonnagle]

I spend loads of money on pointless shit most of the time.
Sunshine makes everything bearable.
I like being at home with dh and dd.
Wine makes you FAT.

[SuperMumTum]

That I'm content and happy being single and my life being just me and my kids. I don't need to socialise or shop and I'm incredibly lucky.

[Gallacia]

I'm a good baker

I'm a bloody good mum (new mum, was struggling with everything, lockdown really helped me bond)

The house doesn't have to spotless all day every day

I dislike my neighbours on the left

My window cleaner doesn't come to clean the windows but says he did

[LadyRoughDiamond]

That I can run, and that I can stick to it. I'm not losing any weight - it's like carbon off-setting for wine - but now I think I'll carry on after lockdown.

[colouringindoors]

I really, really need hugs.

[Nanalisa60]

That I have a very sweet tooth!! And very little willpower, and the I’m very happy being just with my husband , and that I just love reading books.

[malificent7]

That i love being at home even though it is a small house...i have made it lovely to be in.

[FloggingMoll]

I hate my job - I'd always thought I enjoyed it but what I enjoyed was the freedom of being self-employed. The work itself and my boss is shit.

That I'm the better parent.

That I could easily become agoraphobic. And very, very fat.

[wheresmymojo]

That it isn't normal to be less stressed about a global pandemic and potential bankruptcy than your normal job (which I have now ditched).

That most of the things I really enjoy don't cost that much money - gardening, watercolour painting, reading, seeing a few friends for a chat (socially distanced obvs), walks with my husband, afternoon naps.

That advertising and shopping bring out consumerist materialistic side of me that doesn't otherwise exist.

That I'll never, ever go back to my bullshit corporate job.

[emmetgirl]

That I'm lazy.

[BlossomCat]

I need to interact with people outside of my family on a regular basis.
I love my job and miss it so much, I'm going to run back the day they say we can open.
I am good at gardening, I can cook interesting meals.
Some members of my family are quite toxic and I don't miss them when I can't see them for nearly three months, but as soon as I go for a walk in the park with them, they drag my mood right down.
My natural time of waking up is 8.30, but if I drink more than 2 glasses of wine, I will wake up throughout the night. (I'd never made the connection before)
I love my dh and young adult children dearly, and will look back on this time of enforced closeness with fondness, remembering the love and friendship we have shared, despite the huge upheaval in our lives.

[crosser62]

Confirmed to me that I am an antisocial introvert
Also lazy
Also can’t cope well with stress, extreme stress has affected my mental health far more than I thought it would.
That I bloody love being in my own four walls.
That I am shite at home schooling.

That I am lucky, extremely lucky.

[DirtyDeeds]

I have a serious candle addiction
Work is not the be-all and end-all, and I could easily work from home full time
That I am an introvert but miss my closest friends
That my depression doesn’t always equal sadness
That my marriage is probably dead but we will remain married

[DirtyDeeds]

Oh and that I’m massively lucky

[Itstheprinciple]

That I am naturally lazy. It's nothing to do with not having time to do stuff, I just CBA!

[NothingIsWrong]

That my job isn't as important to me as I thought it was.

DH and I went through a tough patch at the beginning but we are learning to like each other again.

[indemMUND]

That I despise the general public and humans in general more than I thought. Ignorance, stupidity and entitlement is rife. But that's the kind of civilisation we have now.
