    So obviously the lockdown has it's negatives but what positives have you found whilst being stuck at home?

    My bank balance is a hell of a lot healthier.

    Still going into work full time. No traffic is great.

    Having the time to cook decent food every night.

    Cycling is a joy at the moment with the roads being so much quieter.

    I’m not really missing sport at the minute either, surprisingly.

    Just about completed the wifes DIY list for me! Can get hold of a class A drug very easily but a 20KG bag of concrete mix? As rare as hens teeth.

    Definitely the bank balance. Feel bad saying it with some in an unfortunate position but still able to work full time with no reduction and not going out to spend anything

    Tbh i don't know. I haven't looked at the bill yet, just got the DD notification. But they deliberately seem to obscure what you are paying for individual items in the "package"

    Positives? Finding time to play my saxophone; something I haven't done for over 12 months.

    My other half definitely doesn't regard that as a positive for her :)
