Isolation life

So with the whole country in lockdown I thought I would do my bit and give people some dos and don’ts that I have come up with for staying at home.

Do’s:

1. Use your “good” dressing gown (or hoody if have no or only a grotty dressing gown) wisely – ie hanging the washing out, FaceTiming/Houseparty (whichever app you may choose to use), putting the bins out. You don’t want people to think you’re making no effort at all!

2. Have plenty of messy cupboards and drawers for you to organise and sort. NB to make it worth while take a before and after photo and post it on Instagram otherwise what’s the point.

3. Find a place in your house to hide when sh*t hits the fan and your family are doing your nut in. I suggest somewhere that has snacks or can have snacks hidden there in case you need to be there for a long period of time.

4. Change out of your pyjamas into your best loungewear/gym wear with great intentions of doing every (now) free workout online yet get to 7pm and realise you’re now too tired to do anything from doing absolutely nothing.

5. Binge easy to watch tv series like Waterloo Road, TOWIE etc. to get through the long evenings.

Don’ts:

1. Wear jeans – if anyone says they can sit in the house in them and relax then they are 100% a liar!

2. Waste your time shaving your legs. You’re going nowhere nice to impress anyone at all and your partner won’t even notice as they will be sick of the sight of you.

3. Do all indoor activities within the first few days with your kids, this could result in even longer days!

4. Worry about eating loads of rubbish and getting fat because everyone will be in the same boat so by the time we all resurface from lockdown no one will see the difference.

Hope this has helped, personally I’m winning right now as I have not yet had to hide in my garage with a packet of bourbons!
