Hello everyone, 

During this Coronavirus pandemic, many of us have been advised to "social distance" ourselves or even to stay at home, limiting contact with strangers, friends and even in some cases, family. No more outings to the cinema, the shops, the theatre and all those things we love to do.

We may be "stuck" at home, but let's not let it get us down!

Here are a few little ideas to help you keep busy while staying at home!

Take advantage of this time to:

  1. Call and check up on your loved ones.
  2. Get back into sport (indoors, obviously emoticon wink)! The internet is full of all kinds of tutorials and guides, there is something for everyone!
  3. Read or reread the "classics" or any other of your favourite books.
  4. Spend some time in the kitchen, recreating old recipes or testing new ones. emoticon pizza
  5. Do some spring cleaning or reorganisation. 
  6. And above all, do things that make you happy! emoticon dance

What will you be doing whilst staying at home? Do you have any tips or ideas for activities? Share you thoughts or ideas below!

Take care,

Courtney

I have been screening since march and am wary about going out but have gone to corner shop. Am keeping myself busy doing diamond painting it's very therapeutic and everyone has said that my finished pics are great, am keeping some for Xmas presents maybe some of your members could try it. Only get it on the internet at the moment .😄

No its little stones fitted into a picture or maybe scene. They all fit in by tweezers. Look stunning on the wall in a frame. I've got two tigers and lions whatever your preference. It looks impossible at the beginning. Comes to life quite addictive. Good luck hope you have fun cheers xx
