Learning

Through all the anxiety , fear , panic of this virus going around , i still managed to learn something . I learnt that buying multi packs of Cheetos , snickers and haribo , probably wasn’t the slick move I thought it was. Judging by the size of my belly , you’d of thought I just spent a year in lockdown with Willy Wonka. But no , it’s been about 20 days , 20 days of dedicated food and YouTube marathons .

God knows how I’ll be in another month or so .

All I know is , I wouldn’t of made it without my elasticated sweat pants / jogging bottoms .

I get this totally.

My poison has been 3 Musketeers, Kit Kat minis and of course out of boredom 2 days ago I baked homemade chocolate chip cookies, m&m cookies. The saddest part is I made vanilla ice cream sammiches out some of the cookies. I keep telling myself I’m sorry not sorry. 😁😁😁

I have to keep my running shoes oiled up..

Not just me then 😂

I also have a husband home now 24/7 and he’s not helping the situation. He eats I eat. That’s the contagious thing going on in my household. 😁😁😁

I raided my husbands office a few days ago (helping him pack up to bring work home) ... he had Charms mini lollipops... they came home with me, they weren’t doing any good at his office alone now we’re they? 😁😁😁😁

Start a writing a book about the mission ASAP , and you might be able to have it published just in time for Christmas 💰💰💰

in reply to Ryan990

I felt like I was a member of the Seal Team. Rescue missions truly make you humble. 😁😁

in reply to

No definitely not. What’s yours is yours, and what’s his is yours 😂😂🍭

Hello :-)

As you know I am not coping but you have actually made me laugh and that is what I needed more than anything :-)

Thank you for somehow been able to keep your sense of humour because it has helped me that you have :-D

If this goes on another month or so , just get some scissors , the waist band on the joggers just snip it , find the elastic , cut it and pull it out through the small hole you will have made and sew the hole up again :-D

Take Care x

I ... am ..... looooooving your creativity . I was starting to think I was going to have to have my sweat pants/ jogging bottoms sprayed on with paint. But you might have just hit the jackpot 🙏.

And i am glad I could take your mind off of the stress for a nano second :)

, it’s important that people can come to the site for help and advice , and also maybe have a chuckle with each other.

in reply to Ryan990

I agree , we need a chuckle :-D

Well my advise could allow you another gain of maybe half a stone , after that then I think you will be left with the spray on joggers OR another brain wave do a David Beckham and get a sheet or something and start the trend again of wearing a sarong :-D x

OMG 😂😂, I remember that ,What was he thinking ! I don’t think I’ll be able to pull that off like him

in reply to Ryan990

Not sure what he was thinking , but if needs must you may have to give it a go , pic must be included though if you do :-D x

Ryan990 in reply to

If I sent that picture , I would know deep down it would come back to haunt me in later life

in reply to Ryan990

Yes but it would make me laugh :-D

Is it cheetos , snickers , or haribo's for dinner then today ?

I am just going to have a boring Sunday dinner :-D x

Happy Easter 🐣, it’s Not boring if it it makes you Happy 😃

in reply to Want2BHappy3

Hello :-)

Well I eat it because I like to try and get my vegetables down me but if I had a choice I do like junk food :-D

I enjoyed it though it was nice :-)

How are you doing , I know you are similar to me regarding this virus and finding it hard to cope :-(

I have had a dreadful weekend full of worry :-(

I hope you are managing to enjoy your Easter Sunday the best you can and Happy Easter to you :-) x

Thanks lulu, worried about the family and friend fallout after this? I have Not been getting along with my daughter and my grandsons father. Their priority seems to be the father visiting with my grandson. The comings in and out of the house. I had to take a tough stand with them yesterday. Neither of them are Not taking this Seriously. The father can be a Bully to my daughter. I called to speak to him he didn’t reply, I wouldn’t tolerate his behavior and he knows it. It would be easier if the people who don’t believe would just accept things and move on?

in reply to Want2BHappy3

I am sorry you are going through this it is the last thing you need , things are already as stressful as they can be without people especially close family not taking things seriously , as this is as serious as it gets !

I hope somehow this get's sorted , you don't need this pressure :-(

Tell them to keep their distance from you even if the are in the same house

My Son still has to go to work as he is a carer for the disabled , but he wears the protective gear and as soon as he comes in he puts his clothes outside and straight in the shower before he comes anyway near us !

Still worries me but he has to work and once he is home from work he does not go out again

It is so difficult though when you have family members that are awkward and I have had my share of them to

Take care x

Happy Easter 🐣 What’s wrong with your feet ? Maybe try giving them a good soak in warm water and Epson salt or some vinegar and water ?

I thought it was just me with a big appetite. Thanks for sharing that's not the case. I started ordering from a nice company that delivers all the ingredients/recipes. This helps fill my days trying to figure out how to cook the stuff. It does bring a sense of accomplishment to these days cooped up inside.

Because I’ve avoided trips to the market with all of the above (posted) temptations this may not be setting me back so much. But I do miss the good old days of not having to worry about visiting markets.
