My mum, as she has had a transplant. I discussed the three steps thing with her, I joked they didn’t say how big the steps had to be, so she could use tiny inch ones to be able to hug her partner!
Love how you’ve ‘watermarked’ it so no munch stealies!

Yep that’s a MITH Special that watermark 🤦🏼♀️

Also give your mum my love and tell her we will get through this ♥️

She’s climbing the walls and it’s day 1! She’s a typically busy mum type, and isn’t used to doing nothing, or staying inside for huge periods of time. Her partner works 12 hour shifts as an engineer and she feels so guilty that he’ll then have to do all the shopping etc as well. I tried to persuade her to get a Nintendo Switch, but she’s gonna load her laptop with games and YouTube exercise videos instead 😆

I think I’m probably lucky in this respect, that I’m used to being housebound and it’s not really going to affect my life too much. Tell her it’s an ideal time to declutter and redecorate.

There’s nowt left to do! She was like, “day 1 and I’ve cleaned the bathroom, kitchen and en suite, hoovered and washed and ironed all laundry”. The woman puts me to shame, she cannot pace herself!

I’m gonna mith you.

Wonder if Zoe has hers? She’ll manage to blame her university, or cis people, or the nhs if not.

Oh it will 💯 be discrimination, and not because there’s nothing wrong with her.
15
She’ll be live posting from gulliver (or whatever the fuck she calls her chair), wearing nothing but that nasty overpriced rainbow underwear she’s so proud of.
”Once again us sPOoniEs have been let down by the government...Anyways here’s a code to buy some overpriced underwear, that’ll make me feel better, so forget paying your rent this month and buy some” 💰💰💰💰

There's a Coronation Street joke somewhere in this

Meeeee! I'll MITH with you!
(was a bit miffed to get this! Please, please stay safe everyone!)

Me toooo! Not looking forward to 12 weeks on my lonesome, any munchies wanna swap places? But In seriousness. Stay safe 🤞🏼

My hubby got one too. He's gonna drive me fecking nuts lol

Oh no! Hope you all stay safe!

Same here, a Salamander's natural habitat is outdoors, and the sun looks so inviting! </3
You too. All the best <3

Not in the UK, but same. All appointments have been canceled & doctors have advised to stay the hell home.
The scariest part about this whole thing is having to rely on others to not be selfish assholes.

Yeah I’m in FL - you know the state all the NY’ers flew to, when they put out the “stay at home” order?
Anyway, we are in the midst of deciding how long mom can go without chemo. She’s over 80 and has COPD too so we are extra concerned about COVID19. These are real issues, the munchies can suck my left big toe.
6
That's scary. I am lucky that I have things that, for the most part, could be prescribed for & treated remotely if necessary. I can't imagine how terrified people are who rely on chemo, or dialysis.
I wish your mom the best!! It's so sad that people are not taking this seriously & putting many people at risk of dying.

Thank you. We are planning to talk with her oncologist tomorrow and come up with a tentative plan. Unfortunately she had already tried the pill form of chemo for her type of cancer and had a really bad reaction. But I am glad she and I both went into isolation last week (the real kind of isolation, not the kind where you go to the grocery store every other day).

In the UK and genuinely scared of the way some people are behaving here, it’s awful to see how little regard some people have for others!
3
Yep! People here are not social distancing. They are lining up for liquor, pot, and toilet paper.. and not taking this seriously. It's sad & eye opening.

I'm seeing the same thing in the Texas city I'm in. All the counties around ours have shelter in place orders, but people here are acting like our city is in some magic bubble where nothing is happening. Despite 2 universities being here, the people acting afool are the 50+ crowd. It's ridiculous & horrifying.

Thanks for sharing! I wasn't sure if I was technically at higher risk or not, but haven't received one of these. Hope all of y'all on stricter protocols are staying sane, big love and let's finish all these craft projects! 💪

The true Badge of Honor for any munchies

I know, fattard would be livid 😂

I'd invite you to my pred-dependent people party, except that you're on the other side of the ocean, and no one is allowed in my house except for the people that live here.
But if you find yourself in the US, I can leave a pina colada on the porch with some clorox wipes to disinfect the glass.

😂 why thank you 🍹

We didnt get special badges or messages...but if you still have a medical appointment kept you know you're supposed to isolate. I dont leave my house anyway. But for some reason I'm getting more shit done. I kinda wish they did this in my state though. Theres a lot of people who should isolate, who are on chemo or a recent transplant, that dont want to even do the special shopping hours because they dont want to take someone else's place. They, of all people, need the social distance hours.

https://youtu.be/WimbyL_25Nw You're welcome. We got this friends!

My other half got one. Definitely not impressed to be "special."
1
Yeah no. ‘Special’ sucks tbh. And it’s a beautiful day here and I can’t even open a damn window.
2
Yes,but not recieved my text yet. Gp told me in my appointment on Friday afternoon to expect it but to shield immediately and not wait for it as they're coming through in batches so they don't crash the mobile phone networks. Some may not arrive until the 29th, apparently.

I’m in the US, so obviously, no lol. I’m quarantined at my mon’s in another state...Connecticut is a bit of a mess right now. Stay safe y’all and may your Internet connections be stable.

As A Chosen One, please go forth with your crown of epic specialness in this time of world upheaval and while you’re at it, can you mock all the UK munchies who didn’t get a message?😜🤣 (Seriously though, u/_MITH, stay safe; IFGW needs your mad flair skills and sense of humor!)
Heavy mocking countdown in progress.
