We’re now using two bedrooms, so we have our own space whenever we need it. Benefit of two people in a 3 bed house. She’ll probably move me to the third bedroom so there’s a buffer between us.

Jammy sod - we've got 4 in a 2 bed.

Yeah we have our second bedroom as a study which I normally use anyway, so rather than her coming in here too, although there is room, we set up a desk in the lounge so we both spend most of the day apart.

We'd kill each other otherwise, as I love to have something on in the background as I work whilst she loves it silent.

That I have started to learn to meditate. Had to come in from the garden otherwise I think I might have ripped next doors kids larynx out (think nails on blacboard x 10 at 150 decibels). 10 minutes guided meditation and I feel all relaxed.

Time for Spanish on Duolingo.

Makes you wonder how many marriages won't survive this even if the principals do.

I'm using this time to try and save mine - so far so good but needs a lot of work on my side. Having this time to work on it has been a blessing.

Doing loads of "I'll get round to it soon" jobs.
First one is clearing out the garage.
Crowbarred the wife off the couch to give me a hand as I wasn't going to do it all myself.
30 minutes of virtually doing it all by myself anyway as she was just standing there I said to her...
"Mind out the way while I brush the floor; it's full of dust."
"Yeah" she said "I don't want to be breathing that in."
"Oh it's not you breathing it in that worries me." I said. "It's just that it might settle on you in layers."
Cue the door getting slammed as she stormed back into the house, and me standing there crying laughing

A banana butty breakfast with a cuppa.

Hollow out an arse hunk of your fave Italian bread (I like sesame), first with a knife, then with a fork, butter the inside well with the back end of a big spoon, then half fill with mashed nana.

Badabing, a Nana butty hero.

They were 25p and now all of a sudden they are 75p

This lack of testing is a fucking joke . For the past few days I've had a cough, tight chest, bit of breathing issues, but no temp, no other aches and been able to crack on with stuff, such as assembling a full sized table tennis table. Feel a lot better today, hardly coughed and feel sound. No idea if I've had the virus or just a bloody cold. Missus was the same over the weekend.

Which bit of that has made you happy Robert love?

Yeah, it was meant to be in the annoying thread.

I was so annoyed I didn't know what the hell I was doing.

PS
I just followed Rob's post so it's his fault really for causing the confusion

Thinking about it, IF I have had it and nothing bad happens over the next few days, then that makes me happy as its done and dusted for me.

Agreed mate.

I've finally got my NHS Responder verification email tonight so tomorrow I'll be doing my bit for the cause [emoji16]

I've felt a bit useless so far cos nobody I know has needed any help despite me nearly forcing them to let me do something.

Oh I have told 2 care workers I know that I'm treating them when things settld down, though I've no idea what with yet [emoji23]

GF just spoke to her best mate who is a trainee doctor. She got talking about weird things she’s heard and she was in with a 23yr old couple who were worried because they’ve been trying for a child for a long time but nothing yet.

Turns out they’d been doing anal all this time.

100% true... so I kind of hope she advised them not to have kids.
