Day 8 Tuesday 31st March 2020



It's now been over a week.

Poppy returned home from her dad's house (dressed as a mermaid) with bags of toys (because she obviously doesn't have enough here) and a Wendy house-castle thing, because there isn't enough shit in the dining room already.

She has also now claimed the space under the stairs in the downstairs hallway and it resembles a crèche for dolls-a highchair, bouncer, pushchair, pram and car seat for her (many) babies. She, and her toys, are slowly taking over the house. (Contemplate if now is a good time to make-over the shed and turn it into a playhouse for her and her ever growing collection of baby paraphernalia. *Must tell her dad to stop sending her home with more things*)

Cohabiting has sadly come to an end as the boyfriend needs to go be with his family and the reality of the virus has become very close to home. In order to keep the children safe, we won't be seeing each other for a while now.

Day 9 Wednesday 1st April 2020

My son's Playstation broke last week. You could be forgiven for thinking he had lost a limb with the way he reacted. Unable to cope with a miserable 18 year old for the next 6 months, I dipped into the rainy day fund and bought him a new one. It arrived today and he is now quite happy to be quarantined in his room for the next few months (only resurfacing for food). Poppy asked to do some work this morning so home learning commenced again, having fallen off the bandwagon for a while now. I was then treated to a fashion show in the garden, where I was forced to appalled and whoop as she strutted her way down the path in a variety of princess dressing-up costumes. Her finale was Wonder Woman and she has remained in it all day. I'm not opposed to it though as the washing basket seems to be forever full at the moment. We are at home all day, how are we managing to get through so many outfits?! Spent half an hour on the trampoline with Poppy...still aching from it now. ...

Day 7 Monday 30th March 2020

Work day AKA the first day I have put make up on in over a week and worn actual clothes rather than pyjamas. Home by 4pm (a complete novelty for a Monday) and normality, as I now know it, is restored with PJs promptly put back on. Covid Cohabiting is going well. Not wanting to sound smug but I have found a good one. Nightly foot rubs whilst I fall asleep on the sofa, help with keeping Poppy entertained and he is very good at making sure my wine glass/tea cup/coffee mug is well topped up. Hopefully seeing me today with some make up on and my hair brushed will remind him that I can look presentable and he hasn't coupled up with a Yeti.
