"What are you doing with your time off?"

What time off? Been working from home for 3 years, so really no difference, always more to do than available time.

No time off! March was my best month for 3 years. It will still be a poor corporate year, however due to brexit and election uncertainty last calendar year.

I am mainly playing video games and I am actually loving my time off even though I am a little scared with the situation in the country due to coronavirus and I really hope and pray that things get back to normal soon.

Now I should get back to the actual thread :)

In the last 10 days or so I have been playing the game mode by CALL OF DUTY which is Call of Duty: Warzone. So far, I am loving playing every minute of it as it has made my time off a real treat. It is surely one of the most realistic battle royale games I have ever played. Beautiful graphics, amazing weapons, decent vehicles and it is also FREE. This is surely a great game for every battle royale games fan in these testing time when we are better to spend time in our home doing activities like playing video games. Interested to play the game but not sure where to start? Checkout this great guide on everything you need to know before you download/play this game.

Just been back from a 2km walk around the village, the first time out in 3 weeks from self isolation, Think my muscles have forgotten what walking is as they seem to be complaining quite a bit. I thought I was still young but my driving licence requires renewing every 2 years so bit of a old git

I hope you took the opportunity to enjoy the local points of interest, even if it did add 30 seconds to your journey?

I actually saw six lads playing football on the pitch !
I wish I stopped and watched now as it would be the only football I will see for a while

Rightly so it should be banned for years to come, they call it a team sport yet the filthy rich players cannot even join together the pay the non playing staff there lost wages. 22 playing millionaires yet to tight to help with paying the rest of the supporting team of non playing staff

Nope. Check the law. One form a day, no time limit.

What comes out of Matt Hancock’s mouth isn’t the law!

I think the original guidance and common sense is enough for most people? If you want to stick to the letter of the law, that's up to you.

I believe the comment about you doing 101mph was 'tongue in cheek' though.

You’re free to think whatever you like, I personally prefer the facts :)

I just spent 2 days making a roll over leather wallet and screwed up on the hand stitching that makes it look terrible and threw it into the garbage pile, expensive leather as well

I’ve filled in and submitted my self assessment for 2019/20 and submitted it.
It’s some kind of record for me as it’s usually last minute but as I’ve just retired I want to get it all paid and that’s me done.

I'm deliberately NOT doing any future accounts or tax stuff. Wouldn't it be a waste if I died of the plague?
