A witty, heart-warming and humorous account of family life during lockdown.
In March 2020 the Prime Minister told Mrs V to shield for 12 weeks. Then for a bit longer. And just a little bit longer. No cuddles, no snogging, no tasting other people’s cocktails to see if they were nicer than hers; pick a spot and stay put. This was bad news for everyone, except possibly the ice cream industry. Mrs V immediately laid claim to the dining room and created her little slice of self-isolation. From her perch in Covid Corner, she blogged about the daily ups and downs of family life in lockdown, keeping her readers laughing as the world got weirder. This book is a compilation of those posts, along with lots of extra bits and commentary. Like Mrs V, it’s slightly unconventional, quirky, full of warmth (both the loving and the menopausal kind) and has a filthy sense of humour.©2020 Yvonne Vincent (P)2022 W. F.

oh my goodness, I have choked laughing so often I can't listen to it while driving in fear of causing an accident. Seriously funny and annoyed my hubby to tell him it could have been us but without the cherubs. I really need more like this xxxxxx

Proper LOL stuff. Tears of laughter often wetted my cheeks. Who know the nightmare we lived through could be so funny

Yes - I’m crying listening to this but I also think I could have written this as it is just so me !!! Brilliant

Hilarious

The narration was dry and by virtue of it being a diary was repetitive. First couple of chapters struck a chord but I quickly lost interest and deleted from library.

Not “of it’s time” probably funny during Covid lockdowns

I can't remember the last time I didn't finish listening to an audio book. Unfortunately, I'm finding the narration a bit too robotic. Being Scottish myself, I was so excited when this title popped up. I might go back to it and try again one day.

Struggling with the narration
