I'm 100% with you about the sandwiches WB. I wouldn't eat anything I'd not prepared myself at the moment, in fact I'm a bit funny about things like that anyway. I can't understand anybody ordering a take-away either because it's the last thing I'd be wanting to do right now, but each to their own. xx6

I think it would be enough if they each kept a day by day diary in their own words and maybe read aloud to each other every dayAll that clutter used to be money6

You can only do what you can at the moment, they’ll catch up when this is all over. None of us have ever experienced this situation so it’s difficult for us to cope with. Glad you’re ok for food xxI get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)6

Some schools are suggesting ideas for home schooling and giving links to various useful sites. Regular reading is one of the best things to do.

You are truly an inspiration. I think when we're through all this, there's going to be a reckoning of what really matters and we'll see some significant changes. Keep on posting WF, you are a beacon of light to us all. Love Humdinger x8 -

They are definitely just babysitting the children. Forest schooling seems to be on the agenda everyday at our school. The have to keep the allotted distance from each other too....
My guess is they’ll reassess everyone after this time - children have been upset - their whole worlds turned upside down. Nobody is expecting them to remember what they did previously. Our school are sending some work out - but to be honest - the teachers weren’t expecting this so they are on a learning curve too....things aren’t as they are in school, the advice is to look after each other - physically and mentally- do what you can and get some life skills thrown in the mix. Nobody will be judging......January spends - £587.588
