Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

Hey everyone, we are in LOCKDOWN again! And I hate it. I'm really over it like everyone else.
But, we can't control it, we can't tell the government that we don't like it and they'll stop the lockdown so let's do the best we can.
Why don't we use this thread to support each other.

So I'll start us off with three things I could do before the end of the day to fill in time. They can big or small. You can also do absolutely nothing which is fine too.

- Take our kids for 1 hour of exercise as a family

- Go for a run to fill up the rest of the allocated exercise time (and get my personal time in)

- Build Fort with biggest small human child (already done haha)

What can you do today?

How are you feeling about lockdown?

Well Done @Snowie for going out for a walk - you deserve to be proud of yourself. It's a super achievement when you feel like not doing much.

I can go days without taking my little pup out for a walk (I couldn't care less about myself), so I understand how good you feel about yourself for going out.

Go team @Snowie

Thanks @Shaz51 @WIP @LostAngel It was a big achievement for me considering how my mood is at the moment.

Still waiting for more clarification as to what we can and cannot do. Hopefully know more in the next 24 hours.

Re: Lockdown 4 - let’s get around each other

Thanks everyone. Had a scare this morning hearing that we had a Teir 2 exposure not far from us and my partner visited that day with our son.
Thankfully she was there an hour earlier but had to check the bank statements to be sure.
But it was a bit frightening. I’m glad I can go back to work soon as outdoor workers have been made permitted
