Getting fed up but trying to be positive!
We’re good. We work from home anyway. I’m just getting to the stage of needing some peace and quiet as we have 7 in the family
Has its ups and downs but we are coping ok and home schooling is ok we have got a routine that works for us .
I have a long-term illness that has kept me mostly house-bound for years, so the only part of lockdown that I’ve found really frustrating is not being able to go and visit my granddaughter.
I have chronic fatigue which stops me from working so it’s not much different but I do miss seeing all my family.
It has been a real struggle to be honest. But, I start a new job next week which I never thought I would get after being made redundant and because I will be classed as a keyworker, I can send the children to school so I feel super lucky.
Taking each day as it comes, not watching or listening to the news but reading a brief update daily so I still know what’s happening but it’s not bringing me down
Not made a lot of difference to be honest. Am missing seeing family and friends though.
i miss seeing people
Homeschooling is like having a job, I look forward to the weekends even though we are at home. The days seem to go quick. Missing days out with the children and giving them experiences to remember.
How are you coping with lockdown?
not too badly, bored rigid though
I was diagnosed with a chronic illness last summer so it’s done me good as I feel as I’m not missing out on going out as I can’t anyway.
We are doing our best to keep occupied but it is getting a bit of a strain not having seen close family or nearly a year
Not as well as last time – but getting by! Home school & working from home keep me busy but, with my partner at sea for 4 months, I’ve barely spoken to another adult in 2021!
I’m coping ok because I’m still going to work but I’m really missing my daughter’s and my granddaughter they live far from me so haven’t seen them since august
We have good and bad days. But we’re getting there… Just trying to keep busy x
I am a key worker so am lucky to still be getting out of the house most days.
Video calls have been a great coping mechanism when I’m missing friends and family.
It is not too bad but it is getting a bit long and boring and I would love to meet up with family and friends who haven’t seen for a year
Its definitely much harder this lockdown, so depressing and the kids really need to go back to school
This lockdown is harder as its winter and we can’t be outside as much but we are more fortunate then most so I remind myself to be grateful that I am getting this extra time with my children ❤
I ain’t coping with lockdown. Time means nothing and the worry about the future is growing daily
Really stressed, as we are supposed to be getting married in June
After hearing tonight’s news about how we will be easing out of lockdown I’m starting to feel hopeful. It has been very difficult at times.
Been okay but starting to find it more difficult now…..
Not been too bad had ours ups and downs but getting on with it
WORK PART TIME SO DO THAT PLUS HAVE MY GRANDKIDS FOR MY DAUGHTER 2 DAYS A WEEK AS SHES A KEY WORKER
Im so grateful that I still get to work (parmamedic) yes I know my job is hard but I see it as helping people and I still get to see my friends everyday.
im coping well apart from not being able to see my family
I’m really missing family now but there’s a light at the end of the tunnel ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve been able to binge watch lots of tv, read, do crafts and I’ve loved it but I have to admit I’m getting a bit bored now.
I’m coping really well. The only real change is not being able to see extended family. Besides that it’s only a minor inconvenience
we have ups and downs – missing family and friends and its hard to work at home as well as deal with home schooling
its getting a bit tedious now lol
Not a lot of difference to me, as can’t get out very much anyway
As best we can!
Was doing fine it starting to get to me a little now kids are fed up but we’re all in this together ?
Not coping so well, but my boyfriend is back at work so we won’t be under each others feet anymore! Looking forward to going back to work in April, fingers crossed!
I am doing so much better now that there is an end in sight!
We’re up and down, like a lot of people. It was a lovely day today and we went for a walk in the sin which helped to lift our spirits. It’s great to see spring is on it’s way.
I find lockdown really up and down. I’ve never really been a very social person, but I am missing seeing family as I always made time for that. There have been some nice moments with my daughter and hard moments with us being together so much of the time.
Taking one day at a time x
It’s been a rough year.
I got through 2020 thinking an end would be soon. When 2021 was more of the same and lockdown 3 dragged on and on and on, it was disheartening.
It’s tough not seeing loved ones during lockdown, but I know that better times are ahead!
Trying to be positive and do some things like reading books that there’s not always enough time for but really missing everyone.
I think overall me and my family have been coping ok. It’s been very hard knowing that friends and family are struggling but we can’t go see them and give them a hug when they are having hard times.
I am ok but I feel very axious about the separation from my family which is horrible!
Not too bad, I have found that my work and kids have kept me busy. Last lockdown was a lot worse.
Missing seeing family & friends but otherwise coping OK.
It’s been rough, but we’ve found a new routine and it finally looks like an end is in sight.
I’ve had to cope , 2 young children at times its been stressful but my son has now returned to school and my daughter goes back in 2 weeks so its getting better
Not a lot has changed for me as I’m chronically ill and don’t work. I miss all of my family lots and my children have suffered with bad mental health though
I think having a nice garden that needed work doing got us through lockdown
Also grandchildren 5 minutes walk down the rd has been amazing
It is hard I live in a flat and it has been very isolating, but we have all managed. Facetime, zoom and walks outside have all helped.
Its not much different for me as i have a chronic illness so spend most of my time at home x
Hasn’t made much difference to me as I’m disabled so can’t get out much anyway, do miss seeing family though
I’m coping by booking things to look forward to later in the year, several music festivals, holidays, camping
Miissing family and mynew grandson born in november
