I spent my time during lockdown to read a lot.

Great tips – but when you really look at them, they boil down to ‘common sense’. Hopefully this latter product will start coming to the fore before long.

Trying to get some jobs done around the house that I never have time for and trying to stop the kids from getting cabin fever

i’m taking it easy. not too stressed about my son’s learning at the moment. kind of going iwththe flow. if he wants to read and write, we read and write – if he wants to play, we play!

Not getting too worked up about minor things. Take distancing, sanitising etc seriously, but don’t tie yourself in a knot over something minor.

I’ve found prioritising is the most important and has helped me stay sane too

Yep doing most of these as well

Probably doing most of these. I was shocked to do my grocery shop in Coles the other day! It was a month between my visits, following the stay home orders. Only differences I noticed was a girl wiping trolleys and baskets for shoppers coming in, the shelves were a lot emptier then usual and I had to pack my own groceries. Other then that, it all appeared to be business as usual, without a care in the world. Happy to see the big shops are now implementing limits on how many shoppers allowed in store at any one time, although I thinks it’s a bit late coming

Great tips

Some great tips……I have disinfectant wipes and a bag in my car so once I’ve done my shopping I can wipe my hands, dispose it in the bag and I’m not carrying germs into my car.

These are great tips.
I’ll add – remember to be extra kind to yourself

All fantastic tips and we’re using/adhering to many of them. Just be kind and calm. We’re all in the same boat, so it’s no use being angry at anyone. It’s an opportunity to go back to living simply and being mindful of others and unselfish. Maybe there’s some big lessons in all of this.

Some great tips here !

Checking in on others via technology and following physical distancing guidelines is essential at this time.
Sharing products with family and friends that are in need and still continuing to support the community.
Following health and government guidelines on tackling the virus and acting as a member of a community.

  Also; listen to and read reputable reports and information on the virus. Unfortunately there is misinformation out there too and we need to stay safe.

Good advice! I bought the old fashioned cloth nappies when pregnant with my first to be use for everything but as nappies! 6 years later I still use them for everything. Pour boiling water over them and they will clean most anything! As for the toilet paper, my kids have always been limited to 5 squares. They don’t always follow the guidelines (and sometimes you do need more) but mostly do well.

Being considerate to other people. We are all in this together.

Some great tips! My tips are to stock up on extras each week, not to go overboard but to slowly stock up so their is enough for others. I’ve done this for a month and now have a good amount of supplies for my family.

I have a lot of sympathy for the sick and health care workers. What I’m going through is a breeze compared to them. Keeping things in perspective helps.

My tip would be just one day at the time and enjoy what life offers in that one day

Great tips. And always remember, we are ALL in this together.
