I think hairdressers and those sort of non-essential businesses may be forced to close next and even if they aren't they won't be getting much business. I personally wouldn't want to go to the hairdresser right now as you can hardly keep two metres away 🤔.

I wonder if DS will want a routine or whether he'll be ruled by serendipity from now on 🤣.

Have a good day TF2 .

Hi HHD Hope you're feeling better today. I think the writing is on the wall for a lot of business isn't it. I won't be going to the hairdressers either. It's not just the hairdresser but the other people in there. Mine's only small and can feel cramped under normal circumstances. 

I doubt DS wants any sort of routine but he's getting one  I keep telling him the Easter holidays will be here soon lol.  Just been reading there's an online PE lesson every day for primary school children so might tell him that's included in the daily routine as well! Hope your school is coping and people aren't trying to abuse the help that's been set up. Have a good day. xx

Thanks TF2 . I haven't coughed since the early hours of Sunday morning, but I do feel tired and lethargic.

I wonder what DS will think about your new routine for him 🤣.

I think you are very wise to isolate yourself more as you are in a high risk group and hopefully it will be time limited.

Oh blimey Beanie, it was the stuff of nightmares. Lots of eye rolling and face pulling behind each other's backs, mutterings under breath and bending of my ear when the other one wasn't listening. I can see both sides. Hubby is a bit of a task master and like a lot of teens DS is pretty useless lol. Hubby is now sat in garden enjoying the fruits of his labour and DS is on his Xbox - peace reigns once more and all is well in my little world lol. xx

Morning Everybody
Day 24/31, Lock down Day 1  , Spends £32

Well, what a turn of events although not totally unexpected I don't suppose. Not sure how different today will be post lock down as opposed to pre lock down considering the world and his wife still seem to be able to go to work, take a trip to the park, order a take-away or pick one up themselves and go shopping for quite a few things on top of the necessary food stuffs - which is where we'll all probably pick the virus up as panic buying and ridiculous queues still seem to be alive and kicking.

From a money point of view I can't see me spending anything for a while so should have a nice sum saved up for a big blow out of some sort when all this crazy is over. 

With no trip to the hairdresser on the horizon I cut my fringe last night and as long as I walk around with my head at a jaunty angle it looks fine  Kidding, I did a pretty good job even if I do say so myself. DS looks like he's got a loo brush on top of his head so I'm pinning him down today and having a go at his  I'll butter him up by giving him extra mid morning play time lol. 

Hope you all have a good day and manage to keep yourselves occupied. xx

Haha, luckily I crack DS up too especially when it comes to cutting hair. I don't know whether to enrol him in a bit part for Peaky Blinders or send him to the local monastery. And this time I'm not kidding  Half hoping lock down lasts a bit longer than 3 weeks so it's not too obvious what I've done when he goes to the barbers. xx

I think we'll all be in the same boat. Plus we'll all know what natural colour people are in a few weeks too

Yes, this is true lol. Although I have seen some photos of empty hair dye shelves so people are obviously not willing to let themselves go. I'm quite happy I can officially not go to the hairdressers, but while I was cutting his hair, DS who usually pulls his face when he has to go to the barbers asked me if they were really shut for 3 weeks and would I be able to book an appointment for him as soon as they opened  xx
