Ideas to get through lockdown for those living in poverty

[JovialNickname]

I don't think I live in poverty as I can afford my rent and always have food on the table. However, I do live in one small single room, with no cooking or kitchen facilities other than a microwave, and no living room or outdoor space.

So, for other people living similarly, how are you getting through lockdown (or whatever restrictions apply in your area)? I find on most threads like these the advice is cook Jamie Oliver style meals in your massive kitchen with ingredients from your pantry, do yoga in the garden or watch Netflix in your living room. Or have a bubble bath (hard when you don't have a bath)! What is everyone else doing to keep themselves occupied?

I am enjoying

• Watching DVDs from Amazon
• Reading
• Shopping for different food than I would normally eat, for something new
• Wordsearches
• Computer games that can be played offline
• Running (if I can make myself do it in winter!)
• ASMR clips, I am loving Josh Shadle at the moment.
• Trying to focus on keeping my surroundings nice, so regular cleaning and dusting
• Meditation and nature programmes.

I would love some more ideas no matter how simple sounding and hello to others out there!

offers not 'brains' sorry

Jack Monroe has lots of recipes by the way that are good for people living on a budget. For example, using tins, so food is inexpensive and keeps in an ordinary cupboard.

I like the Ministry of Food cookbook by Jamie Oliver, pretty old now so would be cheap online.

Geocaching, to make walks a bit more interesting? There are a few websites you could use but I only actually started to get anywhere when downloading the main app for it (it's good but it also eats phone battery when out so charge up to prepare). Potentially google one or 2 unhidden geocache kits to see the kind of thing you will be looking for.
