You to share any lockdown memes that I can send to friends, relatives etc that are fully locked in and re-shielding?

If you can't laugh you'd cry Confused

As someone who is shielding I would say YABU - sorry. I’d find it really insensitive from someone who has much more freedom and would consider it salt in the wound. I would also not want to be reminded of it via WhatsApp if I was working hard to not overthink it and try to keep a positive outlook. A phone call or video call would be much more welcome.

Everyone is different though and that is just my POV Smile

Shielding here (yet again!!) and we have shared loads on our work team WhatsApp. Here are a few, they've certainly made me giggle.

And as sad as it is, I even spent two minutes making one myself.

Ok I'll admit to bring slightly irrational I've been up since 4am worrying about home schooling my son.
But I've been shielding since March and if you really think making light of that situation with a 'fun' meme helps then you really don't get it. I really hope you not one of my friends.

Not everyone is the same who is shielding. I have been too and still am. A sense of humour is certainly getting me through a shit time. It hasn't got to be constant doom and gloom.

Well this isn't relevant to uk lockdown as such, but still bloody funny. I live in Adelaide, and this was one of my favourite from our 6 day cut short to 3 day lockdown in November
