Aside from food what are you ordering to keep you busy/entertained during social distancing?

...or possible lockdown?
Our garden furniture is coming plus a mower so if we have a nice day we can sort the grass

Got paint coming as well as stencils so we can paint DS’s room

Got some different paint coming for a DIY furniture project

Might order some seeds and compost

Got some fabric coming so I can make blinds

What about you?

I’m thinking Sky Movies and maybe a chest freezer.

Lego. Lots of Lego.

Paint for the bathroom and kitchen.

Workbooks for my 12 year old

I've just got sky movies for £8 a month and I'm going to pause sky sports!

I’m dusting off the dart board, table tennis set (which goes on the kitchen table), netball post, aquabeads set, and paints.

We ordered-

Smyths toys- puzzles, board games, craft sets, lego sets.

Local stationary shop-extra school supplies

Baker Ross- a TON of crafts!

Got a new printer for school work etc

For me- face masks, bath bombs and a foot spa.

House jobs- paint for the front door.

I’ve managed to get hold of a Nintendo Switch.
Will be a massive carrot to get my kids doing school work at home.

Colouring books,12.5kg of air drying clay,diamond painting kits and I've been putting off the decorating,got all the stuff here so kids will help with that.

Yarn for me and airfix kits for the kids. Lots and lots of both.

For me,I've made sure to pick up my venlaflaxine!!

Wool, jigsaws. Might raid the library before it closes too

A star trek uniform. The sainsburys van will be referred to as the resupply module. I am now referred to as Lieutenant. Tempted to go for Romulan eyebrows

Did a n order from Hobbycraft. Sent it to PILs instead of home address. Now I have a coughing child and they can't visit.

Fence paint, a trampoline and a nintendo switch

Garden climbing frame ordered.

Picked up a load of craft stuff in Asda this morning. Googly eyes, pipe cleaners, feathers, felt, glue. DC have a big age gap so finding activities that will appeal to both can be tricky.

Ordered a slide for DD. The positive to this situation is that it's given us a kick up the arse to sort the garden out.

I've also ordered Lego!

Went on Amazon to get a pc camera to do work calls and some home gym equipment. Both very difficult to get hold of now.

So far I have bought...

Paint and a roller to paint the landing (job I keep putting off)
12 strawberry plants and 10 raspberry canes to plant.
7 bags of compost (being delivered today)
Veg seeds
Wool for knitting
Art supplies for dd2

Tempted to buy some fence paint.

I haven’t actually bought much food 😂😂

I had acquired a chemistry set and a new game for fun. Some extra workbooks and resources for DD schooling. Checked I had a couple of decks of cards.

I want to get some books - I have a list to read, but I also have a large stack of unread books around the house. And I also have a large collection of various craft materials to keep me busy for months, not just days....

I have a couple of jigsaws I was given for Christmas and also bought a painting by numbers kit which looks difficult so jigsaws first I think. Otherwise it's Mumsnet and playing my online game.

My current project is trying to trying to make more room by hacking through the ice in the bottom of my chest freezer. I hit the occasional pack of food which is now obviously inedible and can't even recognise what it once was

@Lovemusic33 where did you get your compost
From?

Fab ideas on here

My bank statement is going to look
Mad - hardly any food but a billion other transactions 😂

Wine, gin, paint and potentially NetFlix and hair colour

I have a baby due in 11 days, that will keep me entertained

I've just been to our school library and taken out nine books: a mixture of classics I've been meaning to read for years and a couple of novels in French and Spanish that it'll take me ages to wade through.
