It’s fair to say we’ve all experienced a range of emotions as we’ve been on lockdown.
At times, we’ve been frustrated, delirious, argumentative, bored, a bit saucy and (most of the time) in need of a drink – much like Kim Woodburn during her infamous stint in the Celebrity Big Brother house back in 2017.
Here’s how we’ve all been channelling our inner Kim (intentionally, or not)....
1. When you hear that friends are thinking about flouting the rules
2. When you justify a lunchtime drink by claiming “it’s 5pm somewhere”
3. When you lock eyes with a hotty on your government-mandated exercise
4. When your home internet speed is having a ‘moment’
5. When you attempt PE with Joe Wicks
6. When you spot your housemate’s unfinished jigsaw puzzle
7. When you hear the pubs may not open until Christmas
8. When you’re at the supermarket and someone coughs near you without covering their mouth
9. When you think about your post-corona career options
10. When you contemplate writing your memoirs to pass some time
11. When you think about that first post-corona hook-up
12. When someone doesn’t stick to social distancing rules
13. When someone suggests it’s about time you changed out of those five-day old pyjamas
14. And when you do get dressed and remember how good you normally look
15. And you then jump on a Zoom call really feeling yourself
16. When you leave the room for two minutes and return to find the kids have caused carnage
17. When your upstairs neighbours are driving you absolutely insane
18. When you’re getting ready for the virtual pub quiz
19. When you realise you’ve been slightly unreasonable to the others you’re in lockdown with
20. When you’re officially out of clean clothes because you haven’t done a proper wash in weeks
21. When an ex suddenly starts sniffing around because they haven’t been getting any in lockdown
22. When a colleague you’ve never got on with is suddenly being nice to you in a work conference call
23. When you realise that we’ve already been locked down for over six weeks
24. When you’re actually having a good day, for once
25. When the neighbourhood loudmouth is out in their garden discussing their business for all to hear
26. When you get off a two-hour Zoom call with one of your oldest mates
27. When you’ve finally put a cloth around the bathroom after weeks of putting off cleaning it
