    Tired of hearing people moan and whine about being stuck with their families. At least you are with them. Some of us can't be.
    I'm 200 miles away from mine. I'd do anything just to see them once. 
    At least you are with yours, spending time with them, they may get on your nerves but you are with people who love you.

    It's really getting me down seeing people whine about being with family. 

    Just a rant.

    I've had a stressful day and all I wanted to do was play on the swings while there's no kids about 😭😭


    😧. I'm sorry but I'm glad that is closed. Don't go on any swings even if they're open. Could be infecting it or be already infected and make others want to go on it to. Social distancing means no parks. Hope you feel less stressed now though
    Well obviously I would sanitise it before I go on it 😂 the point I was trying to make is when we're not allowed to do something it makes us want to do it even more 😂

    I feel really sad about all the people in abusive controlling relationships that have to be stuck there :(

    Correct. 7 days from the first symptom and then it's 14 days for the rest of the household!

    Brought myself a weighted blanket in the hope it’s going to help me stop being so anxious about this all of the time 🥺 - was a good bargain though £35 off groupon

    I've missed my partner quite a bit. I miss just being silly with him. I miss the hugs. I miss the intimacy. I miss his smile and his signature scent, Ted baker. It always made me laugh when he deliberately called it "bed taker".

    I've had a lot of time to think about our relationship, he truly is a wonderful human being.

    Im going to have to go to local shops cause I'm so bored. Whether that makes me a bad person idk

    My mum was rushed to hospital in an ambulance early hours of this morning. She has only just gone into cancer remission after a long 2 year battle and now she has been struck with covid 19. I am worried sick i cant even think straight. 

    She has had the symptoms for 5 days and they gradually got worse and worse. I haven't seen her since lock down started. I really want to be with her and comfort her. She's a trooper but she has already been through such a lot.

    Thank you @Past User trying to keep my cool but still no news.  :s No news is better than bed news though. 

    I wasn't expecting it to get so close to home. It is so important for people to stay inside, to protect themselves and others. This virus has no mercy. My poor mum has been through so much already.

    And what is wrong with that?! Absolutely nothing. I was so bored earlier that I started jamming out to Five Finger Death Punch. It swears a lot so I shouldn't really listen to it. My favourite song from that band is Salvation. It doesn't swear and it is something good to jam out to.
