    lucky to have it etc, etc, but work has been and is really busy but i make sure to start and finish on time.

    do some homeschooling in the mornings - more so with younger kids than older ones. I take the view that if they were at school, i wouldn't be looking over their shoulder so why should i do it here. So far they (seem to be!) getting on fine and no reports back from teachers.

    I change clothes after work and go for a walk to have a "break" between work and home life.

    weekends are taken up with time with kids, long walks with dog etc.

    I'd love to have the time to do more diy - there's a list of stuff to get done around the house that is only getting longer.

    The only external activity is visiting the dentist - due to lack of care and attention over the years, I'm going to be spending a lot of time in the care of some very lovely and professional dentists and dental assistants who have a programme of torture treatment for me over the next 15 months.

    My place of work is closed atm, so having some kind of routine is essential for me.

    I exercise. A lot. Running, walking 4-5 mile, intermediate weights etc. Great for body and mind, I feel you need that bit of hard physical activity and it helps with my mood. Try to get decent sleep.

    I eat pretty clean; maybe the odd take away every two weeks or so. Have taken to following recipes on YouTube.

    I write as well, mostly in the last couple of weeks. Usually kick back with a few cans of a weekend while watching a blu ray or listening to some music.

    I'm also an avid collector, so the money I would spend on eating out or the pub goes back into that hobby.

    I live by myself, so all of the above is essential to maintain a healthy mind, it would be very easy to slip into bad habits these days.

    In any event, there is more of this behind us than ahead.

    My husband runs a construction business, I look after the admin end. So you could say I work from home, but that was the case before covid.

    Have a ten and a three year old, so a lot of the day is taken up with refereeing between the two and there's a lot of crying in the corner (me that is).

    Home schooling takes up a good chunk of the day too although the ten year old is quite good at getting himself started on that.

    I make a point every day of showering, dressing and putting on a bit of makeup and going somewhere, even just to the local Spar. Stops me becoming too institutionalized.

    Evening time I cook dinner and begin the winddown towards bed.

    Rinse and repeat.
