"Why don't you get the hama beads out". To my 16yo who should have been revising for gcses.

Got symptoms though so no choice, I’m fuming I am.

sawsaw234 · 04/04/2020 19:59

BlackAmericanoNoSugar · 04/04/2020 20:00

I said to DS "Yes, it is hard and unfair for all the teenagers, but at least you're not an orphan, which you might become if you go out and meet your friends."

Rainb0w · 04/04/2020 20:28

Me: Think I might have a drive out and put fuel in my car.
DH: You are full you only drove back from the fuel station (2 miles away) since you last filled up.
Me: damn I was looking forward to that.

Mmarmite · 04/04/2020 20:48

Weirdest thing about all this? Gove sounding quite reasonable. Don’t get me wrong, he’s still a smackable wanker but I don’t actually wish Coronavirus on him.

Mmarmite · 04/04/2020 20:52

I’m crying with laughter!
I was wondering what to do when my little boy grows out of his shoes...

motherofadog · 04/04/2020 21:27

We socially distanced from the skylarks' nest.

LuluJakey1 · 04/04/2020 21:55

DH and I have been interrupted by one of the DC every time we have tried to have sex for the last fortnight- like they have a radar that wakes them up. It's become a joke but........

Today, I was washing vegetables in hot soapy water.
DH, who was drying tomatoes with a tea towel, said 'Love could you not rub those carrots like that. It's very distracting.' Grin

Life is strange at the moment!

GabsAlot · 04/04/2020 22:01

Brexit was nomrmal compared to this-my dh agrees

KoalasandRabbit · 04/04/2020 22:05

I've got a click and collect slot at Sainsburys Monday 8am DH, I just put random things in the order so you might want to review it, didn't want to lose our chance, it wasn't there at the start then it suddenly appeared so I grabbed it whilst we could Grin

To DH: The pub is now selling meat boxes, veg boxes and random items including flour for £1.10 Shock Though the eggs will make DS (ASD) laugh - 12 eggs are £3.50 and 30 eggs are £5. It did indeed make DS laugh for 20 mins with lots of commentary on egg prices / business strategy re pricing of eggs.

DD I've tidied my room Shock

DS (ASD) even started opening his Christmas presents from relatives last year, he gets stressed by presents but must have been very bored.

gordongopherthe3rd · 04/04/2020 22:08

Brexit? What's Brexit - didn't that happen like a decade ago now?

MsPepperPotts · 04/04/2020 22:53

No sign of the PM's letter yet...it's going straight in the bin unopened anyway!

mbhgfcbyyrrx · 04/04/2020 22:56

My 3 year old playing with her dolls:

Can we go to the park Elsa?

No Anna, I've told you that we can't go out because Coronavirus
