Wow, what a month it’s been… for us, for you, for the entire world! Some days – with the images of deserted towns and empty streets, it feels as if we’re in the midst of an apocalypse movie.
What many of us need right now is a guardian angel to watch over us – helping us through these uncertain times. Well, we have a guardian angel bracelet (worth £49.95) to give to one of our readers courtesy of AngEli Jewellery.
AngEli creates unique Angel jewellery, handmade by Elisabetta Lupano, an Italian Angel Medium. Pieces are created with Swarovski crystals; each item individually charged with powerful angel energies and vibrations.
Elisabetta gains inspiration for the myriad of Angel designs through her dreams, and she loves helping to give people the opportunity to experience the vibration of their chosen Angel through her exquisite jewellery.
To be in with a chance of winning the guardian angel bracelet, share with us how you’re getting through the Covid-19 lock-down. Us, we’ve been spending lots of time doing DIY and gardening in the lovely weather.

I’m doing my best to stick to a routine. I’m also using the time to try to learn new things and make the best of these uncertain times
We’re doing a lot of reading, playing games and craft hours with household stuff like boxes and plastic bottles to occupy ourselves xx
Mindfulness!!! Crafting, knitting, reading baking etc. Trying to do something positive everyday, practising random acts of kindness really helps me get through the days along with facetiming our Children and grandchildren.
With structure! We have teens so timetabled study of the day, I am also doing my work at home as well as binge watching reality shows
Homeschooling in the morning, working in the afternoon – no time for myself…
Baking and reading mostly, walking my dog in the woods, luckily we live in a quiet village x
I’m decorating luckily I’d bought the paint & paper beforehand also catching up with housework, also being very positive & doing some exercises to as I’v got health problems taking it all in my stride xx
I’ve had a cpl of food deliveries so far
I am slowly going insane! I live alone and dont have many people to speak with, so each day feels like a week. There is a list of things I would like to complete in the next three weeks, but I am lacking in motivation!
Keeping fit, walking, keeping in touch with family, cleaning, but then a whole lotta relaxing!!!!!
my main focus has been on keeping my 4 year old busy! We’ve done some gardening, some cooking and lots of arts and craft!
I’m having good days and bad, but I find keeping myself busy with spring cleaning, gardening and cooking helps.
By staying at home and being a mum, teacher, cook, cleaner and wife. Stay safe all
Day 21 now for hubby and I but the time has flown by. Even after 50 years we never tire of each other’s company and are never bored. We both love reading and books are a great stress busters in these troubled times.
Just taking each day as it comes, we are not doing the home schooling, tried it for a few days and it wasn’t working, with me working from home too. But we are making giant lego models, mean brownies and lovely dinners, as well as doing some planting in the garden
Getting through day-by-day. To-do lists and audiobooks very much to the fore.
ive been spending time in the garden, baking, reading, watching tv and teaching my daughter to crochet
Trying new things with my family such as baking 🙂
I have an autoimmune disease, so on full lockdown, which is depressing as hell because i rarely left the house or did anything anyway. Being a nurse though, i do understand. Signed up to be a phone support volunteer. Probably spoken to more people than i normally would, as others who are self isolating or WFH have more of an understanding of how lonely it can be. So life is as normal, plodding along, reading, cooking, and any household or garden maintenance i can manage. Fun times.
Keeping busy by homeschooling, doing some crafts, baking and exercise

I’m spending it with my little 4 month old so it isn’t too bad

I’m lucky enough to have a long grassy area behind my house where no-one else goes because it is just an access to some old garages. So hubby and I have been playing tennis every day.

by gardening, gardening and yet more gardening, everyday
I’m eating a lot of chocolate, attempting to do home work outs to counter the chocolate and making silly care packages for my friends who i cant see
Age 72 hubby and I are now 6 weeks into selfisolation. Apart from not being able to hug our grandchildren the only stress we have had is getting an online delivery slot. You have to go online so many times before a slot is available. We have one for the 29th but that will be over 3 weeks since the last one so we are not able to eat as much fresh fruit etc as we would normally do.

Baking and Cooking. I have started to really enjoy it, and trying new recipes. Spent a fortune in herbs and spices for the many recipes I am planning to try. My baking cupboard is stocked up and ready for the spontaneous ideas I have. I also have a new slow cooker, which I am very excited about.

But I’ve been entertaining an old friend with my sense of humour and we’ve arranged to meet up once lockdown is over as it’s 20 years since we last met up!
