Sadly though today, ive just been looking at it wondering where anyone is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly though today, ive just been looking at it wondering where anyone is. That's a good start. Try not to fall into the trap of allowing your mind to ruminate on where everyone is as this will lead to negative and unhelpful thoughts. Have you got anyone you can call for a quick chat? Exercise also helps the mind and a quick stroll and a change of scenery could be very beneficial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skype allows you to video calls from a mobile phone, laptop or tablet. If you google it you should be able to find it. You then need to install it, register and then you can use it. Hope it helps.

ramsbottom Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 I've been up & down. But on the whole I'm handling it a little better now. I think I've come to accept the situation and the fact that it's gonna be a long haul. Hopefully not the 6 months the father-in-law ranted about earlier, but with news that this is having a positive affect on the spread, I think it's gonna be another month at least. One of the biggest things to worry me was being able to feed the family, but shopping on Sunday was quiet and orderly, so the message about not stockpiling appears to be getting through to folk. So I've felt relieved. Most important thing I can say is, try not to watch the news frequently, and choose your sources carefully. And make sure you get out for the walk/jog/run your allowed each day, even if it's for 20 minutes or so.

Comrade 86 Posted March 31, 2020 Share Posted March 31, 2020 For anyone who doesn't have it, Skype for desktop and mobile can be downloaded at the following link. In truth, it's not a brilliant app but it's free, easy to install and set up and straightforward to use. It won't steal your banking data either! https://www.skype.com/en/get-skype/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King Kevin Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 No issues ,painted my fence ,painted my shed ,painted my house ,put new fascias and sofits round the back will do the front next week, Painted my front door and put new furniture on it ,painted my garage ,repaired my gazebo ,redecorated my office. Cut all my hedges ,re seeded my lawn ,painted my front gate ,rust proofed my Jeep [ACF 50[ and probably other stuff I've forgotten about . I also work from home and have been relatively busy ,just had all the wood delivered to replace my decking. To be fair I wouldn't have done half that under normal circumstances as I would have been out and about . Still need it all over though and get back to normal.

therams69 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 Coping as best as I can, I always think there are worse off people than me though and that is what keeps me focused... Personally I am home schooling 3 kids with number 4 due in June (planned outside the normal footballing window!) Work wise is where its been hard. Those that dont know, I run my own travel business so self employed. Been a really tough couple of months with all the immediate issues and changes, think there were 220 updates around the world. Kind of managed to sort them out but from a mental health point of view its never easy to deal with considering I am working for free now, have to pay back a fair bit of money I had already earnt and been paid for holidays that were imminent departures and then see all my hard work over the last 9 months pretty much all dwindle down to nothing. Hard gig running a travel business and being self employed but alive and well so.............. Hope everyone is well..... Oh and I have no idea where the big flag is! Last seen on the team coach heading to Millwall ... Sure it will be somewhere with Ellisons! angieram, Dean (hick) Saunders, DarkFruitsRam7 and 2 others 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted April 24, 2020 Share Posted April 24, 2020 On thread, after a rocky week while my GF was in hospital, I'm coping OK. Trying to pretend that the whole thing is just a bit of a crap 'staycation' really, with beers in the sun, a bit of exercise and much reading and box-set bingeing keeping me sane. Hope everyone else is doing as well as can be expected ? I know nothing, ariotofmyown, King Kevin and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
