A tiny house by the sea, but on a hill, with a vast array of mountains and hills and trees behind me. Basically - in NZ. Or, a campervan. One can dream!

Only since I was four years old. One day I will, too.

India. Or Colombia.

How did it work out for you?

Wuff Wuff

Only got as far as England haha

was good to have a fresh start though and sort myself out for a bit.. would definitely reccommend moving abroad

are you restriting your travel for Covid19?

Widdershins

I hope I don't have to. My 1st two trips in abroad in years, apart from England, are booked for May and June.

Have you changed your daily routine and habits due to the virus risk?

My hands are sore from washing them so much. Also doing a full disinfectant wipe down of surfaces multiple times a day which I didn't do before.

Are you worried?

I can be a bit detached but I am vaguely uneasy. I think its more the uncertainty over how much its going to impede normal day to day things like travel and deliveries and appointments. I guess if it really interferes, it could affect my wedding

And I'm concerned for vulnerable people, but I think there's enough awareness now to protect them.

Ever heard of four thieves vineagar?

It is but won’t affect me!

Have you stocked up on toilet paper?

jimbobaloobob

No I didn't buy any more than my weekly shop so there is maybe 5-6 in the box.

Will you stay inside over the next few days?

The Princess Bride

No, I have to work, and working from home isn't an option.

Have you had to cancel any get togethers or holidays?

No, but my niece's play with the musical society was cancelled..I'm kinda pissed about that..

Have you washed your hands today?

Purple Mountain

About 15 times.

Did you see any handbag scrapping over toilet paper yet?

The Princess Bride

No, but I told a random man in Aldi yesterday he didn't have enough toilet rolls in his trolley and he went and got more. I was joking.

Have you sneezed yet today?

RMAOK

No

Has your work pattern changed on accounts of corona virus?

Trigger Happy

Yes, absolutely. Normal work was dropped and spent the last two weeks preparing for the moment one of our offices has to shut.

If you were offered a free cruise right now...would you go on it?

Wuff Wuff

Not yet,

might have to work from home,

I have 9 days off now as i was meant to go on holidays, should i keep these (4 days AL, 1 bank hol and 2 weekends) or go back to work wednesday and save 3 days AL?

I would work and save for a holiday later in the year when it's cheap And you might go mad now being off for 9 days and perhaps having to work from home/forced unpaid leave soon, depending on your work!
We were hinted at earlier today that it might be wise to take annual leave now while there is less work (but I'm an expat so have nowhere to go at the moment). Might not have a job later in the year
Anyway in normal circumstances, I'd save the hol for another time.


What did people talk about on this thread before the virus?

Did my regular food shop and as there was toilet paper and rice available and I was out of both, I bought some and felt like an idiot for doing so.

RMAOK

No. Just done the same as normal tbh.

How often do you clean your house?

Usually a good clean once a month but every week to a quick overhaul of stuff gone out of place. Spent the morning in forests hiking. Not a dinner about.
How long do you reckon this closure continue.

Ruby Ring

Think it will last till Summer at the least
