We have had a thread like this before, I think, but I'll never be able to find the previous one, so let's have another.

There was "I've finished washing the shopping", which came into our lives earlier this year. This week I've had another one - "I've got an appointment at the library to take my books back." Any more?

Never expected to hear my husband yell, "Don't touch it until I have disinfected it!"

Sadly, just in reference to a parcel...

I wonder if little ones are quite relieved that they can't be kissed by some older relatives.
I used to hate it when a great uncle with a moustache said.
"Have you a kiss for your old nunky.?"
I would love to have said "no"

And use the soap......Let me smell your hands now.

I'll phone you back later. I have a click and collect slot at the supermarket.

Could you please take a photo of the abscess on my behind so I can send it to the doctor?

The upside was I had antibiotics within the hour of them receiving it. The downside - I hope it isn't on the office noticeboard!

I overheard a panicked shriek the other day. Stop, stop right now! I thought someone was being mugged till it continued with How many times do I have to tell you not to go near grandad?

sad

Changing my hairdresser as the extra added on for PPE makes them too expensive for a simple dry cut that takes no more than half an hour.

Never thought I wouldn't fancy browsing around the shops, it used to be my favourite pastime in town!

To my grandsons “Sorry boys I can’t give you a cuddle. “ ☹️

Pre-recycling/dumpit site visit - 'Do you think this is essential rubbish or just rubbish? If it's just rubbish they won't accept it.'

AC to DGC - 'You actually have to wash your hands, not just sing the song."

'I can get a delivery in 3 weeks. I'll ask ( our bubblebuddy ) if there's anything she'll need by then.'

No don’t blow the candles out on your cake - here waft them with card.

Hello, are we doing the elbow thing?

I’ve scrubbed the cloakroom down - there’s hand wipes and surface wipes in there and hand gel, obviously. The blue towel is for one of you and the pink for the other one.

Trying to have a conversation with a loved one through a care home window for the past 6 months when what he really needs is a big hug.

I must remember to wear my mask when I go to meet the bank manager

Frankie51 Sun 20-Sept-20 11:31:03

No I don't want to go to the pub ?

Maggiemaybe Sun 20-Sept-20 11:26:56

Which do you think will be safest - the train, a taxi or a bus?

When does your furlough end?

Can the post come out of the isolation zone* yet?

No we won’t be coming over for the takeaway you planned for us all as the kids have got a cold!

TillyWhiz Sun 20-Sept-20 11:22:55

I'll go and have a browse round the shops.

kittypaws49 Sun 20-Sept-20 11:15:59

May be unpopular but mine is i would welcome a two week lockdown! I reaslised during the last one how much the child minding and voluntary work was tiring me when i was not able to do it. ?

“Shall we bubble?”

Aepgirl Sun 20-Sept-20 10:59:13

Following chat to Dr about a dry, itchy patch on my chin, he sent me a text message ‘please send me a photo of your chinny-chin-chin’

lemongrove Sun 20-Sept-20 10:57:09

‘Hurrah! The Ocado delivery is here’ ( said very excitedly as am waiting hungrily for the fruitloaf for breakfast.)

Justanotherwannabe Sun 20-Sept-20 10:55:13

If you went into a shop with a mask on 6 months ago you'd be arrested

RosesAreRed21 Sun 20-Sept-20 10:54:55

So I can’t get an appt to see the doctor?
