I think one thing we are all a little scared of at this current point in time is keeping busy. If you are used to working a 9-5 job and then enjoying yourself at the weekend, sitting at home can be a drastic change.
I thought I would make a list of everything you can do at home to keep yourself busy
- Complete a puzzle
- Watch Netflix
- Go on a massive cleaning spree
- Get your green fingers gardening
- Go round each room and organise the clutter
- Organise your kitchen cupboards
- Go through your wardrobe and make new outfits
- organise your wardrobe
- Declutter your wardrobe
- Read a book - or several
- Write a blog post
- Read blog posts
- Watch YouTube
- Make a YouTube
- Finally do that DIY
- Clear out your garage
- Do some painting
- Reorganise your book shelfs
- Meal prep for dinner
- Batch cook
- Try out new hair styles
- Do a daily workout video on youtube
- Plan a video call with your family and friends
- Drink all the wine in the house...
- Copy makeup looks from Youtube
Obviously you can only do some of these things if you have a puzzle or paint already in the house.
Please leave some more ideas down in the comments for others to read.
When I can finally get my hands on some mince meat and chicken, I am going to batch cook till my heart is content!

What a year it has been so far. So many of us claimed 2020 was going to be our year and to be honest - I wish I could start the year again.
With everything that is going on I wanted to get my feelings out and off load to keep my sanity.
So how am I feeling? Pretty rubbish, I'm not going to lie. I have been positive up to this point to keep life normal but this week has really hit me hard. It is just the uncertainty of what will happen. I don't mind being at home, I have 6 more Poldark books to read so that will keep me going for a while. What I worry about is all the endless talk on social media 'my friend lives here and ...' 'Apparently there is a case in the town'.
I have chosen to mute everything to do with what is going on from my timeline but it still pecks through, making me all together avoid twitter. I am focusing my energy on Instagram where I find people are trying to entertain and distract their followers, rather that scare them.
There are a few things I am doing to keep myself sane and I thought I was just pop them here, in case any of them help you.
- Mute all social media which encourages gossip and false information.
- Only look for information from the NHS website and the PMs daily updates
- Keep my normal routine as much as I can
- Plan my meals so that I don't waste food and I might be able to discover new receipts
- Make a list of things I want to get done in case of lockdown - gardening, blog post ideas, DIY, books to read, new meals
- Make plans for the future - we might not know when this is all going to end but we can make plans, with no future date, to have something to look forward to
- Use the whole of your space - keep your living room for relaxing, bedroom for sleeping and any other room for anything else so you are not stuck in one room for 12 weeks
- Keep in touch - whether that's a text, call or a video chat
- Make use of the garden - hopefully spring has finally arrived so if you have a garden, this is the perfect opportunity to use the space and enjoy it.
- Recreate outfits from Pinterest - Pinterest is full of information, use it!
I might be posting a lot of here for the foreseeable future so that I can keep myself busy.
Please all remember to stay safe and most importantly, we are all in this together (I cant say that now without thinking about the cast dancing...)
