Well, work (large central London acute trust) has confirmed that I am likely to be redeployed to directly manage some front line services through the crisis - it’s not my role now but I have done It in the recent past so I can slot in. I’m happy to pitch in, though a little trepidatious about the scale of what’s coming and not excited about the ongoing commuting on the tube 😷. Also, as we don’t have granny day care any more I am going to have to see whether I can register the little one for more days at nursery than she currently does, assuming they do stay open, as I will definitely need to be on site.
It’s really tricky - I think most people who are having to work from home with kids in the house are just muddling along, whereas DH (very square!) is saying that he will have to declare it to his employer and take unpaid leave. In normal times I’d do the same but these are not normal times, this will go on for months and I don’t think that’s what most of the home-working population will be doing. Because frankly most families, ours included, can’t afford to halve their income. What would you do /are you doing about wfh with kids?
Other than that, Ocado is coming soon. It’s a huuuuge order as I got quite a bit for us, some bits for a neighbour and a big pile for the food bank. I will be a little embarrassed when it turns up 
. Ocado CEO is encouraging people to share delivery slots though, to reduce the pressure. The whole website is completely off line now!
I was going to order a desk and chair from ikea for the spare room but I might hold off now as I might not be wfh for long.
Moving in with Bob - great idea! Loneliness is hard at the best of times, and then you’d only have one household to look after. Life is too short to worry what other people think, and particularly now.
Hang on in, everybody!
