Schools out forever

[practicallyperfectwithprosecco]

Well that's year 11 done!! School managed to stay open for 11 and 13 today to do leavers assemblies and let them all say goodbye. Shirts were signed, tears were shed and I think the whole social distancing thing went out the window. Dd appeared home at 7ish snappy, tearful and slightly intoxicated (so much more restrained than her mother at that age but I didn't have a killer virus spoiling my fun)

She went straight up to her room to self isolate- it's the new term in this house for the teenage phenomenon of only surfacing for food!

Just think - a few months ago, if someone had said they were 'self isolating' or 'social distancing' the reaction would have been WTF are you on about? Now it's the subject of most conversations.

Self isolate
Social distancing

Coming soon to an Oxford English Dictionary near you

In 50 years we won't be the remember the war generation we will be the remember when we had to self isolate generation

There'll be some QI type programme in 2070 asking panellists: 'What was the first thing to sell out of the shops in the 2020 Coronavirus pandemic?'. "Bread" and "Eggs" will get the klaxon and there'll be looks of surprise when "Loo rolls" is the correct answer.

I swear if we redo the bathroom this year if we can sodding afford it now I'm sticking a bidet in. They're the future

Once the shortages are over I'm going to get DH to build a new shed and fill it with toilet rolls, pasta and beans 'just in case'

Mine was okay when he got home. He has had a medical problem this year and missed lots of school. But his predicted grades are okay. He would have done badly in exams. And his college has told everyone they are not looking at exam results for their courses so he gets to go the course he was desperate to do anyway.

I am looking at this as a silver lining in a crappy world.
I’m sure he will cope with self isolation very well. All teenagers will I suspect

I honestly think that prepping is going to become a fashionable thing, like Marie Kondo.

Might get on with writing a book to make my millions

Its like everything they said about Brexit is happening but by the CV instead.

What will the y11's do for months? We are supposed to set work. None will be done though.

To top it all she loses her Saturday job today as the hairdressers she works at is closing it's doors until whenever - she really will be self isolating!!!
