They are inclined to bicker, which degenerate into fisticuffs. Dh is going to go to mercadona after work at 730 (hope it's not been panic bought out) as he has to drive past anyway. So, going to write a fuck off massive list tonight, hahahaha

PotsOfPebbles · 16/03/2020 20:11

Bribe them. That's what I do if I need them to behave and they are being a pita. Superzings is currently the best bribe.

Love that you say fisticuffs, I say it all the time and always get funny looks Grin

For sure get DH to do it. Much better idea.

@OhMargo I’ve got a trolley but it’s a real arse to get up to the 48 steps to my flat lol 😂 I’ve got a toddler so lots of counting!

Have you got a mercadona near you Name? It seems they're getting stock in fairly regularly. I didn't check out their big roll section because we have enough, but everything else there seemed to be in abundance. I got a large punnet of strawberries and lots of bananas at 6.30 this afternoon.

Getting a bit creaky now, I really miss swimming.

I had a work meeting today and took photos of our totally empty rambla, it was so spooky! I haven't been in the centre since Thursday, I just take the dog for a small walk to a nearby park. It really hit me that some bad shit is going on and I just welled up Blush I suppose I've been focusing on DS and making sure he isnt anxious and we're all having fun playing games. I may need another chupito of limoncello to help pull myself together!

Nameisthegame · 16/03/2020 21:36

No but I’m fine it’s my ex who is lleida I’m in Santiago de compestela and besides our constant banana crisis no problems here. Hugs xxx atleast unlike the crazy U.K. we don’t have isolate for 12 friking weeks! My friends pregnant and is facing this. I’m sure we will make a new normal xxx

I thought the photo of asia empty was crazy but it’s creepy in Spain. I’m getting the every cough and sneeze worry, my next door neighbor has a terrible cough.

It's 15 days now, but I would be amazed if it isn't extended. I think they are just saying 15 days so everybody doesn't go into meltdown.

BillieEilish · 16/03/2020 21:43

My next door neighbour keeps me awake coughing. His DC's do too.

Chupitos all the way!

Nameisthegame · 16/03/2020 21:52

@PotsOfPebblesno idea what one extra day would do, I’m sure it’s just to soften the blow of longer it will probably be 5 weeks but who knows.

Nameisthegame · 16/03/2020 21:54

Nameisthegame · 16/03/2020 21:55

Although flute and opera singer sounds like the worst neighbor!

BillieEilish · 16/03/2020 22:13

Opera singing flute player is upstairs, coughing neighbour is next door.

5 weeks of this and I'll be stir crazy!!

BillieEilish · 16/03/2020 22:15

Will report back tomorrow folks on my foray with 11 year old to Mercadona! Going at 2pm when it is dead (hopefully)

BirdandSparrow · 16/03/2020 22:17

They've already said two weeks won't be enough. www.lavanguardia.com/politica/20200316/474184748959/coronavirus-estado-de-alarma-abalos-extender.html

Nameisthegame · 16/03/2020 22:17

I was wondering if it was you but I thought there’s no way you’d be that unfortunate 😂

Don't worry @Nameisthegame thread have to be 1000 before they are full.

Do you have class whatapp groups?
One of the Mums on ours had a nice idea. Every day or two they pick something, a rainbow for example, all the kids draw one and write a little message to their classmates, then they all get posted on the group.
It's a nice way for the kids to keep in touch and all do something together even though they can't be together at school.

BillieEilish · 16/03/2020 23:11

We have online teaching starting next week. But DD is older (11)

elQuintoConyo · 16/03/2020 23:17

Oh Lleida... Full of weirdos WinkGrin

Here are my photos from today, of a usually heaving ramnla and market Square Sad

I just read this WHO warns that anyone recovering from Covid-19 may continue to be infected for two weeks
Lockdown is going to be longer than we all think.

Morning!

Just uploaded my first video class to google classroom! It's so cringeworthy watching yourself on video and knowing all the parents will be watching!!
