Both of us have been working all the time, Anita is working from home, but I've still been going to school as "normal" keeping the systems working for the Key-workers kiddies and those teaching from home.

I’m retired but Mr M has been flat out from week 3 there is plenty going on whilst the nation has been in isolation.
We will shop local to help to get the smaller retailer and our local tradesfolk back on their feet. |

I’m so looking forward to getting back to work ( no date as yet due to the 2 meter guideline still ). I didn’t agree with lock down at all and have lost complete care for it now and really feel the negative impacts on the economy and the whole population of this country very much out way the benifits. |

Why are people queuing to get into Primark?
Even worse Currys PC world??
Do they not know about the internet and the 99.9% lower risk of "buying online"
The 0.1% was to take into account that the previous user of the PC / Laptop ot tablet may have Covid 
That said online pubs, never going to catch on.
Roll on Independance day. |

You can't buy from Primark on line so it seems.
I don't see anything wrong with people wanting to get out and to a shop if that's what they enjoy, we also have to get the economy moving somehow |

I've been hard at it as I was one of the few not furloughed.
Been quite last week as people are starting to come back of furlough.
There have been some positives to lockdown, more animals and birds about and it's a lot quieter. |

Mr J went back today after not being at work properly since 23rd March and furloughed since 1st April. He was climbing the walls! I’ve been working more hours than normal so I’ve not been much company for him and there’s only so much DIY and housework he could do!!! I must admit he looked much happier when he got back in this evening |

Working in the water industry ive worked every day throughout to keep the water coming out your taps and to stop the crap from spilling out.... easier said than done when there we no toilet rolls and people using all sorts of things to "w_pe" with.
And i dont just mean wet w_pes.... we had to unblock pumps from everything from wet w_pes to jumpers! |

Ah, that’s why people were queuing to go to Primark.
They need to get more jumpers in case there’s another peak and toilet rolls go out of stock  |

I’ve been going to work throughout the lockdown.
It’s amazing how many members of the general public who seem to think because you’re still working in an office, the pandemic can’t have had an effect on your staffing level or how you do things now compared to normal.

I never stopped, I got sent home with my desktop PC and phone mid March and have been working from here ever since, I can't see me being back in the office anytime soon and I don't want to be either to be honest, apart from the office banter I'm not missing the awful commute or our tired looking office one bit  |

We have been doing our bit to help.
Had contractors on site doing work on the gardens, paving etc easy to social distance and used local again.
Now car shopping but that is a real eye opener when you book a test drive. |

I'm back tomorrow. I work at the hospital but due to nursery choosing not to open for key workers I've been off since lock down.
Looking forward seeing other humans and not having a 3 year old attached to me. But not looking forward to 5am wake up alarm!
Relaxing evening and early night is planned! |

I am working from home since early March,
so I am lucky that I still have a job and that I went into isolation early.
It is an IT job so I can nearly work from any place where I have a reliable and fast Internet connection. Office had been closed for the less important people and we are expected to wfh at least until September. But we still have a 9-5 day in front of the computer screen, it is boring and I miss my colleagues and their presence  |

Not that I am looking for a car but how does it work? Do they go with you riding behind on a skateboard? |

I've worked right through, more hours than ever it seems. I'm grateful to be able to work from home but I really miss the social side of the office and the isolation of so many weeks of solitude has been a kicker.
I've had two days holiday so far this year and badly need to book some time off before I end up completely burned out. |

Lol, they take the keys to your car, give you the keys to the one you want to test drive (after cleaning the interior of it first) then its yours for the next half hour.
Mind you, don't expect a bargain as they don't seem to want to budge on prices.
Strangely as they weren't willing to deal, we didn't buy it........yet. |

I have been working from home since March and expect to remain at home until the end of this year.
Mr works from home as he is self employed and I have been sharing his desk and office. Its been really lovely to be together so much and I will really miss him when I return to my office.

I've been working from home since March, and I will admit it hasn't been easy!
I've had my ups and downs I will admit, and my Stepmum wrote me an actually letter at the weekend, to say that I was the one they were worried about most, as I am their only child, working and living alone.
To my complete surprise, I received a lovely bouquet of flowers today just to cheer me up, a mixture of yellow, white and purple that just brightens up the room, just need to keep my cat away from them |

As I've told them to stick it, I guess I will soon be getting a few weeks at home while I job hunt again.
