Tell me a little bit about your lockdown world.
Who are you locked down with in your household?
Husband who is going to work as normal, 2 teenagers 15 and 13, who work in their rooms from 8.40am-4pm every day.
How is this lockdown going compared to the last one’s?
Bit better in that my eldest son is actually doing his work this time. Last time it took til early August to work through the backlog of tasks. Also support bubble rules changed in December allowing my daughter and her children(new baby) to visit.
Bit worse in that the virus seems stronger this time, and it feels like it’s getting closer to my world.
Describe your lockdown experience in three words
Bloody Exhausting. Vodka
If you are doing either or both how are you finding home schooling/ working from home this time round?
I am on it. I have to go to work 2 and a half days per week so I have to leave them to it. They ring me up and tell me they’re fighting and I have to go sort them out at lunch time.
What are your top tips to get through the not so good days?
Exercise and vodka. Not at the same time.
Make sure you do your stretches after jumping lunges. Or just stay in bed for 48 hours afterwards.

Dog walks, running, sleeping. Bouncing on trampoline!

The Live with Laura challenges!
