I'm autistic, as are dc's and my Ddad.

This is heaven for us.

The biggest silver lining is that due to the lockdown in China, many times more lives have been saved than have been lost. People staying home instead of having to work in heavily polluted atmosphere. Yeah that's shut up those climate emergency nutters.

Inlaws visit got postponed!

bubblesforlife · 18/03/2020 08:36

My house is so clean!

@pickingdaisies ohh I feel a Conspiracy theory coming on.

My ds is grounded at the moment so he is pleased that everyone else is too! I am pleased as no more college for him either so he’s got time to get back on track and sort himself out.

As for me, I am pleased that life has slowed down for us all and am enjoying time with dc.

slipperywhensparticus · 18/03/2020 08:40

I might get around to decorating which I've been putting off half done since Christmas

I've found out who you can rely on in an emergency

I no longer feel daft for making so much ketchup last summer during the tomato glut. Unfortunately we havent got much pasta. Perhaps I need to find somebody to barter with.

amymel2016 · 18/03/2020 08:48

How much money I’ll save from not eating out and DH having to do the supermarket shop! He’s very frugal whereas I’m not!

CV is giving us a glimpse of what's coming if we don't start taking the climate emergency seriously.

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:01

GnomeDePlume i will trade you a bag of pasta ( I have plenty 😁) for some of your tomato sauce which I have none of.

Really? It's absolutely demonstrated that we can stop flying and driving. It will be soooo interesting to see the plunge in co2 emissions on the graphs for this period in time. I think it will totally vindicate the 'nutters' once and for all Hmm

The DC will be so bored that they will jump at the chance to learn how to do household chores and strip wallpaper.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 18/03/2020 09:26

I won't have to see my boss for weeks

Save petrol getting to work

Save a fortune in weekend outings

Everyone is trying to help each other in our village

...and to make you laugh, l just received a package from China l forgot about, so l got the dettol out and sprayed the bejesus out of it

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 18/03/2020 09:28

LOL @Horehound

My MIL had a chest infection earlier this year. I think she might need to stay away from us, just in case Grin

goldenorbspider · 18/03/2020 09:30

My gyms super quiet, all of 5 people in this morning

soupforbrains · 18/03/2020 09:32

Working from home and being able to get things done uninterrupted will be bliss. (Until the school closes and DS is around to interrupt me instead)

Also, this email I received yesterday.

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:33

I also will get my mountains of clean clothes folded and put away Grin and clean the house from top to bottom on a week day.
And I get to sleep in later instead of getting up at 5am Smile

MusicToMyEars800 · 18/03/2020 09:34

soupforbrains that has made my morning 😂

pissedrightoff1 · 18/03/2020 09:37

Perfect excuse not to see MIL this weekend or for forseeable future !

Funtcase95 · 18/03/2020 09:40

I can delay my car insurance renewal and save a couple months premium because I won't be out in the car!

wrongsideofhistorymyarse · 18/03/2020 09:48

I'm spending a lot more time chatting with friends and family, albeit over phone and WhatsApp video.

goldpartyhat · 18/03/2020 09:53

Watch all my recorded tv programs and watch game of thrones all over again.

leafyygreens · 18/03/2020 09:55

Apparently ISIS have been told to not to carry out terrorist attacks in Europe, as we are ‘the land of the epidemic’ 😅

CorianderLord · 18/03/2020 09:58

Less pollution!
