I think we all were waiting for the announcement really then it will probably be another 15 days maybe to stop hysteria or something. It’s definitely worth Planning now especially with kids. Routine is so important to them. My dd is almost 3 but we don’t own. Tv but I’m trying to give her a good mix of English and Spanish programs but all she wants to watch is Om nom 😬

Exercise is so important once we get through this I think people will either be a lot bigger or fitter 😂

I'm going to be one of the bigger ones I think. Exercise really isn't my thing. I really HATE exercise videos. I can't describe how much.

This is interesting/terrifying. ⬆️

BillieEilish · 22/03/2020 14:19

Bird me too, can't stand the things. But I've lost my appetite anyway.

Admire all the cleaning going on, I think I'll start next week... feeling unmotivated but slightly better mentally today.

Going to Mercadona tomorrow while DD is 'at school'

BirdandSparrow · 22/03/2020 14:45

I'm seeing more and more "cerrar Madrrid" stuff on FB and so on and "Si no cierran Madrid, cerramos Andalucía"

elQuintoConyo · 22/03/2020 16:57

I've stayed totally off media today, feels liberating.

Cleaning helped clear my head and focus on something else got an hour or so, plus exercise.

I'm in the process of changing over our wardrobes too, put away all the thick winter coats and coats, DS' first! Got out some t-shirts and my fancy thin pyjamas, I'm starting to suffocate in my fleecey Primark Specials Grin

As we're all at home so much, the clutter and untidiness has got right on my tits, and it's something I can control, not like C19, so it's really satisfying to clear it up.

And I painted my nails blue Grin

BirdandSparrow · 22/03/2020 17:47

Yeah, it's been a long time since my hosue has been so clean...haha. I cleaned the bahroom today andd we've done some baking and DS has even done some schoolwork.

Nameisthegame · 22/03/2020 19:33

@BirdandSparrow I’m sure any weight gain will fall off once liberated I’m going to go on a long walk and to the beach!

I don't think I'm eating that much more actually, don't have much appetite a lot of the time.

elQuintoConyo · 22/03/2020 20:06

As soon as lockdown lifts, I'll be straight in the sea, Wookie bikini briefs beard n'all Grin

Nameisthegame · 22/03/2020 20:07

I’m the complete opposite I’m eating like a crazy person, probably boredom I try not to eat after 8pm but I’m eating really badly right now loads of junk food.

What is everyone rewatching? I’m watching Jane the virgin again.

elQuintoConyo · 22/03/2020 23:59

The Mentalist. Currently season 4. Love Simon Baker. I'd like to see him in The Guardian again (TV show, not newspaper Grin)

We have basic Amazon prime, it's not very good. Although DS just watched Austin Powers for the first time and laughed his socks off.

BirdandSparrow · 23/03/2020 00:02

I'm watching a load of old shit on Youtube. Whatever I can concentrate on for more than 5 minutes. Half watching a Timeline documentary now.

Nameisthegame · 23/03/2020 09:59

It really hit me this morning probably because my haircut yesterday was a lot shorter than I thought it would be I looked in the mirror and cried. Another 15 days now. 😭

I’m worried for my sister in the uk too because the country is being so reckless and all the paperwork I need to sort out. My nie adress change will be over the 3 month date by the time we get out I’m sure it will be fine but still. I need to apply for work for September but no one is answering.

BirdandSparrow · 23/03/2020 10:12

I'm sorry about your haircut. I need to dye my hair. I've bought a box dye but not done it yet. It'll be the first time I've dyed it since I went blonde and I'm not sure if the colour I've bought will look weird.

My nie adress change will be over the 3 month date by the time we get out I’m sure it will be fine but still I read that any driving licences that go out of date in quarantine will be respected, so I'm sure they'll be OK with it. I had the wrong address on my NIE for about 8 years until recently and nothing happened and when I eventually changed it nobody batted an eyelid.

Nameisthegame · 23/03/2020 10:16

I asked for a trim and my mum cut a foot off 😭 I know hair grows but it took a year to grow that foot so I’m back to the start. Definitely dye your hair! What colour?

OP posts:
BirdandSparrow · 23/03/2020 10:21

I'm brunette naturally but had so much grey that about a year and a half ago I went blonde. I've always had my roots done at the hairdresser. So I've bought a LÓreal box dye but was just guessing at the shade. I'm fairly platinum (to cover the grey) so I bought a fairly light blonde/ash blonde colour. Well, DH bought it.......

Nameisthegame · 23/03/2020 10:40

Best to do the roots first and leave it in then do the rest.

OP posts:
BirdandSparrow · 23/03/2020 10:41

I think I might try it at the weekend.

Nameisthegame · 23/03/2020 10:41

I do my mums hair (total grey) and I find the roots take color the worst.
