Go and have a beer (or 10).

You know she needs support but instead are posting here about drinking during the day, which I presume to mean late morning or early afternoon?

Use your network of family and friends for support and stick to other self improvements. Try jogging with your partner and having that close communication and connection that you surely once had.

If you want an easy rule to follow: don't drink at all, it isn't an essential in life. A step down from this is don't drink when it's daylight. There are plenty of things to be getting on with now and becoming a cliched boozing stereotype isn't a valid route that ever ends well.

To Psychocandy: you choose to roll out of bed and are unhappy with the work. Perhaps let your imagination wander: get up early, exercise, go out, try new things with your family. If your imagination is limited then rely on your kids to choose new stuff to try outdoors. You are allowed out for exercise as much as you wish every day: use it. Go and walk around the countryside or areas you aren't familiar with, try running.

Plenty of people are risking their health and lives to keep the country going now and anybody working from home now on 100% pay is in a fantastic position. Making a conscious decision to ignore these options and have a moan is fine, but take of those around you and they'll take care of you. Now is the time to open up more and rekindle any lost connections.

Thankfully this forum has quietened down a lot, so I hope that is a sign people are indeed spending time enjoying other things.

WFH is fine as been doing it for 2 years already, but what is hard is not being able to take the wife out and for her to have no visitors. She's been stuck in now since Feb but I'm planning to take her out, if only for a spin in the car, over the weekend. We're now in talks with the palliative care team as her illness gets worse, so not great for her that with limited time left she is forced to sit at home with me!

tulipe man. Didn't know. Feel for you....

There's nowt better than cracking one off just before a meeting. (the 09:27 3 minute challenge, I have to look in the mirror, its the only way to meet that deadline).

That month of Sunday's that my grandmother was always talking about is actually longer than a month.

Feck I'm even missing going to the local tip...

I did this tonight - first time i have driven in 8 weeks - It almost felt normal - I felt happy - then I arrived...

Massive queue of cars - 1 hour wait - 3 cars at a time....

**** this new normal - its tulip!

The difference of WFH this year is I have no choice.

Last year I could work in the client's office if I chose to and could go to the gym, cafe, shops, tip, etc on the days I WFH.

Agree with that 100%

[NotAllThere]

I'd kind of like to go into the office. But don't care too much.

Hey Whorty, a spin in the car will do her the world of good. I am one of the sheltering types and just seeing open scenery and new things was electrifying yesterday.

I am sorry to hear your wife is so unwell. I can imagine what a toll it takes on you. Remember to look after yourself as well.

Cheers mate. She's looking forward to a little drive. Shame I can't take her down to the coast for an ice cream LOL

Been WFH for at least the last 7 years - it's the rule rather than the exception for me and that even included 4 years of permiedom.

Swings and roundabouts innit?
