Bad lockdown habits you will need to quit

I may be alone in this, but there are certain habits I have developed in lockdown that really won’t translate well back in the real world....a certain deterioration of social acceptability has developed, given I’m not ‘under public scrutiny’ so much...

Mine include but are not limited to:

  • wearing clothes that perhaps need a wash, sometimes for many days. You can’t smell over Zoom
  • shaving. Or lack of.
  • talking to myself / the dog
  • drinking wine on my own
  • there’s something about my online shopping habits that seem very unhealthy. Buying ridiculous gadgets or ‘happy but useless objects’ on Amazon willy nilly so I’ve cupboards bursting with crap
  • browsing the internet when I should be working...this is out of control for sure, and I’ve no idea how I’d cope in an office again where it’s not acceptable to have tabs permanently open with mumsnet, news, Twitter, wayfair, Amazon etc.

@PrincessNutNuts

I'm not going back for ages but I just caught myself wondering if I could wear black joggers to the office with ankle boots and a nice top... Grin
I've had similar thoughts.

I'm going to have to come up with something smart but not fitted.

I'm hoping fashion will have our backs @OliviaBensonsEyebrow. (And our new bellies Grin)
