To ask what you regretted most not having in during the last lockdown.

[Sosickofasshats]

Mine was house plant potting mix, long lighters, and little packets of yeast to make bread. Couldn’t get hold of any of them and thy all would have made such a difference to my life.

Childcare.

A live in personal trainer to kick my ass into gear and stop me from just watching Netflix

The ability to sleep between now and lockdown lifting

Paracetamol, I became very ill just after lockdown with no pain relief.

New work shoes (bought as soon as the shops reopened but probably should have bought 2 pairs) and a treadmill (comes on Friday).

Other than that I had everything I needed, and working in a supermarket didn't really struggle to obtain anything I wanted

Childcare. And a tolerant employer who understood that I had sometimes to break from my 14 hour days to feed and interact with my child.

Yeast and bread flour. The bread flour returned first, and on the plus side DH is now a pro at sourdough.

Time... might be easier with schools open but I lost all me time to extra work and homeschooling. I’ve only just mentally got out the sheer weight of it all 😞

I agree with the PP who said furlough. Won't be getting it this time round either.

aeroplane tickets to New Zealand.

Paint. Would have been ideal time to decorate

A governess.
Exercise bike.

All I wanted that I couldn't get was a leg of lamb for Easter.

We had to wait until May or June, I think, until we could get one.

A devastating new man

(it's been 8 years since discovering he wasn't faithful, I've kind of given up on the idea of ever meeting anyone, but the sheer impossibility of it this year has been an unexpected extra and unwelcome twist)

Oddly, the only thing I just could not get was mascarpone!

We managed

Nothing I can think of.

A will to live.

Hand sanitizer and face masks for shopping and Dettol cleaner for the house .

My sister.

A job. I hated not working.

Money

Nintendo RingFit. Got it now thank heavens.

Haircuts would be good but DD and I have decided it wouldn’t really be safe to go out and get last minute ones

Flour, compost and seeds

Agreed with willpower
I gained 10lb mainly alcohol related calories and am determined not to do so again
