    I am running out of things to clean/tidy during this lockdown  lol   anyone else same?    Even broke out jigsaws lol   doing them and watching  movies.

    My kids undo all my tidying within 5 minutes of me having tidied. It's a great game we play where I tidy a mess, they make the same mess along with more mess, I tidy those messes, they send in more mess reinforcements, I cry they laugh, lather rinse and repeat ad nauseam. It's really fun I'm having a great lockdown :YAHOO:;)

    Agreed, if you are in a shop and the shop has those items, what does it matter?  OK, if you went out and queued to get into the supermarket just because you fancied a kitkat and that's all you bought you could argue that it wasn't an essential shop, but if you are there doing a food shop you should be able to buy what you like that the shop sells.

    Exactly this!

    Turns out it's a load of nonsense about non-essential items. Started out with an over exuberant tweet from Cambridgeshire Police and a couple of officers over wrapping their powers. It's like they can't help themselves!

    Good to hear it's not an official thing banning buying certain things, cause it would be ridiculous if true. Yeah okay Pringles aren't as "essential" as things like milk and bread, but this is a tremendously difficult time for a lot of people and so we need to be looking after our well-being too. If a can of Pringles or a houseplant or a room spray etc gives someone a little bit of joy and helps them to keep going through isolation, I don't see why that should be a problem to add such things to a shopping basket along with the usual eggs, bread, pasta etc. It's an "essential" item in a different way imho.

    Have they managed to deliver Bearexit yet?

    Bear-ly. There are a lot of polar-ising viewpoints and you wouldn't want to panda to pressure from either side without thinking it through care-fur-ly. That would be a political Boo Boo and sure to make many feel grizzly.

  5. Aw nooo I'm so sad to hear this :'( I'm genuinely at a loss for words, the forum absolutely will not be the same without you. You and Stuart both are awesome people and have done so so much here (so much that describing it as So Much is woefully inadequate), just, thank you for everything. I was so thrilled to get to meet you both last LFCC, sincerely it was wonderful and I hope to see you at many an event in the future. 

    I tried to find a Ben Browder hug gif, instead have a Ben Browder kissing gif ;)

    Very best wishes to you both xx

    It's a requirement at this point I think.

     

    I hope she gets over it quickly , and the rest of you don't get it.

    It is indeed, a cough and/or temp and it's 1 week isolation and 2 weeks isolation for members of the family with no symptoms. And thank you x

    Now in self-isolation for 2 weeks because lil sis has suspected Coronavirus, not allowed back to work until 3rd April and my holiday has been cancelled this morning, will get money back though :no::uhoh:

    Not ideal but I’d rather do this then spread the virus to someone vulnerable plus I work in healthcare so can’t put patients at risk either :coolthumb:

    I'm sorry to hear that, best wishes to you both and take care xx

    Challenging times ahead. Those on the acute side of the NHS have far more very ill people to care for. Those like myself who deal with patients on a more scheduled basis try to keep the rest of the service going as safely and effectively as possible. But we all pull together. If everyone did the same everywhere it would be so much easier. A little kindness goes a long way. :smile:

    Very best wishes to you too xx

    I however can't watch any version of ACC, no matter how seriously it's portrayed, without 'Here comes Mr Humbug, Here Comes Mister Scrooge' rolling around in my head.

    I hate myself for this, but it's There goes Mr Humbug, there goes Mr Grim. Not the point I know I know! I'll see myself out of the thread now.

    Heh, we should all take really boring photo's just for you.  "This is a wall on the second floor in the 3rd hall, it's interesting to note that the paint is a slightly different shade than the other walls in here because...."

    "This is a picture of the floor, I have many fond memories of hours spent sitting on this floor, and it's in fact more intimately acquainted with my bum than some furniture in my house"

    My kids take hours to fall asleep at night, visual aids *that* boring could only be helpful there in sending them off quicker so knock yourselves out.
