Just that really.

I’ve just had a lunchtime bath and opened the wine.

No working from home and no lessons for the kids.....

rbmilliner · 28/03/2020 14:32

Back to back frozen with toddler on the sofa. My brains melted but enjoying the cuddles whilst she sits still

Not working or home schooling. Getting a takeaway.

HoldMyLobster · 28/03/2020 14:45

Not working here too.

Although I think I should do some tomorrow as actually one of my clients is really busy right now.

Not working or doing school work, thank god!!

girlicorne · 28/03/2020 17:55

I have been working most of the day as I cannot do as much as I need to during the week due to home schooling DS. DS and DD have been able to do what they like today, no schoolwork. Other than that it is no different to the rest of the week really!

Chienloup · 28/03/2020 17:58

No school stuff, no work for DH and I, I'm going out tonight with my two best friends (obviously, not actually out, we are having a night in together via video messenger)! Had a lie in. Will drink alcohol tonight.

Isadora2007 · 28/03/2020 17:59

Unlimited screen time today.

riotlady · 28/03/2020 18:58

Cuddling on the sofa and watching a lot of Peppa Pig. Will probably also have a bath and a glass of wine tonighy

stargirl1701 · 28/03/2020 18:59

No home schooling.

LadyTiredWinterBottom2 · 28/03/2020 19:01

Get pissed.

BackInTime · 28/03/2020 19:12

No work, cook nice things, drink more just rest and cuddle with DC really.

DobbyLovesSocks · 28/03/2020 19:42

I went shopping first thing this morning. DH and I then took down our front fence (it's been battered by the recent storms and this was the first dry, free weekend we have had to do it). I then spent another hour chopping a bush back. I haven't been out since Thursday as WFH with DS so this was my fresh air.
Was also nice to catch up with my next door but one neighbour, him from his garden and me from mine.
Then we did the usual weekend house work; washing, tidying and hoovering. We have also spent time playing on the wii and watching tv. DS has flitted between tv, tablet and wii. I'm now awaiting a delivery of chalk pens from amazon so he can paint pretty pictures on the window for passers by and the postman to see. Tomorrow will be much the same with tv/wii and craft

No work, no school work, treat breakfast and staying in pyjamas a bit longer in the morning!

dingit · 28/03/2020 19:53

Family quiz night on family chat. Hilarious

My DH is a key worker so has been working 12 hour shifts all week. Today I queued at the supermarket and did the weekly shop whilst he looked after our children then we had a leisurely lunch before all going on a 4km walk. No school work today at all and film night tonight.

Mummiepig · 28/03/2020 19:58

DH treated us to Chinese takeaway (delivered) as it’s Saturday, then I’ve eaten a big chocolate bar watching Saturday night takeaway, can’t wait for In for a penny, then we’ll put a film on Netflix

DazzlingDee · 28/03/2020 20:00

Not working - although I had to do a couple of hours today
Not sticking to ‘routine’ of getting up and ready by 8.30am like normal
Eating more ‘weekend’ like - as if we were going our. For example cooked breakfast instead of porridge/Steak instead of spag bol
Opening the wine!
Watching a film

LoadsaBlusher · 28/03/2020 20:11

Wearing make up
Reading all day

manicinsomniac · 28/03/2020 20:19

Not working
Children not working

Drivemybluecar · 28/03/2020 20:45

I’m not working. So it’s a proper weekend for me.

barnabybenny · 28/03/2020 20:52

Binge watching crap on Netflix, letting the DC watch their tablets and I got dressed into day PJs instead of regular clothes.

I never do this. I work every day and I put make up on every day whatever my plans. I haven’t worn make up in a week. I’ve never felt so anxious and relaxed all at once, I’m exhausted.
