… and so over the next few days I'll be bringing you some scenes of a Playmobil Pandemic.

People are allowed out for exercise, but must practise social distancing. Janice and Preston are both out for a run but are making sure they don't get too close.

He leaves each box on the doorstep for Angela to unpack.

When Angela has unpacked her shopping, Leslie disinfects the boxes before loading them back in the van.

@somuchtobits

I must know you! Unless it's a bizarre coincidence, my Mum's name is Olwen and my son is Eifion which is a pretty rare name lol! Grin

Thank you very much *@SoMuchToBits. I have decided it is my treat so need to get out for a walk first with the dog. I need to lose weight too but that's a step to far as an incentive as struggling to now I'm recovering and in lock down so there would be another election and royal wedding before that happens!

What is happening in St Playmo's hospital? Are they still coping? Are the staff ok? How's the infection rate?

Has Jack Jellyhead and his lockdown breaking group of chums been admitted yet?

Bumpsadaisie · 17/04/2020 08:22

Love this OP!

Can I ask how do you all store your playmobil? My kids have loads but all in bits in boxes.

Ninkanink · 17/04/2020 09:15

Good morning everyone!

Last night I had some 🍷 - sadly not blue - and got rid of allll my grumpiness, so here’s 💐 and 🧁 for all, and a big bar of 🍫 for @SoMuchToBits!

Hope everyone has a good day.

chomalungma · 17/04/2020 09:48

Looks like that's a whole new scene there Grin

Jellycatfox · 17/04/2020 10:17

I also need to know about storage please, I am out of ideas

Mooey89 · 17/04/2020 13:15

Need to know about storage here too 😂
DS has the smaller bits in boxes by genre - ghost busters playmobil in one, dinosaur play mobile in another etc, but the big building are so hard to store, currently I put them on top of ikea box shelves with the boxes in the store and buildings built on top but running out and they take up so much space!

SnugglySnerd · 17/04/2020 13:18

I'm pleased the grocery driver has been properly equipped with disinfectant!

Tereskova · 17/04/2020 14:56

I love this so much

Artisticpiglet3 · 17/04/2020 14:57

Op I actually love you! I literally just thought "I wonder if she's done a quarantine playmo thread" and there is Smile you've really cheered me up

SoMuchToBits · 17/04/2020 20:25

Thank you all! I'm a bit too tired tonight to answer questions, but will be back tomorrow.

Sorry I'm a bit knackered tonight, had a bit of a stressful day at work, but will hopefully feel a bit more chilled tomorrow! Smile
