Can I please ask what floor cleaner you use? thanks. Nothing special, just Mr T or Mr M multipurpose cleaner because it's cheap and cleans anything.

Having been on a trial lockdown for 7 weeks earlier this year with the broken leg, you will feel so pleased to do the most mundane things like going to the supermarket in the normal manner, trust me.I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)4

I've been nagging my DS for the last 30 years at least & he still doesn't seem capable of finding the dirty linen basket. But then I have still not moved the 2 carrier bags full of tinned stuff a friend gave me out of the living room that have been there for almost 3 weeks. Like mother like son, the only time I wish he took after his father. But then if he did we would probably argue. So as they say - be careful what you wish for!

I haven't wanted to leave the house either. I don't think that is a bad thing as perhaps it is a rule following subconscious. I wonder if there will be an increase in agoraphobia or a decrease. I say decrease because the freedom to chose has been taken from people so now they feel even worse and when it is over decide to deal with the anxiety and go out. It would be an interesting study.
Have a lovely day. x
