On a personal level there have been a few positives for my family.
1/ Twins starting ‘big’ school has been a lot less traumatic than it could of been. They stay in their classes and socialise in their year groups. Seems a lot less stressful and worrying for them both (Twin 1 has ASD and Twin 2 is anxiety prone.
2/ Gym visits are a lot better than I thought. You get 50 mins, that is enough for me to do by weight training, people actually clean the machines after use and the cap wearing twats don’t sit on a machine for 20 mins txting on their phones or updating Facebook.
3/Got me free cake, biscuits, chocolate and bread for a few months...though sadly that’s dying off a little bit now (except for the bread from the local bakers).
4/ You all clapped for me on a Thursday night for a few months.
Glass half full and all that, eh ?
