How is it week 9 already? I can’t believe it has already been a week since my last Life In A Lockdown post! Let’s talk about how my week has been and let me know how yours has been too!
Don’t forget to link up and please do link back to me and Sarah in the post. We don’t ask for much but a link back would be nice so that people know where the questions and tag originated. Thank you.

1) How are you feeling/coping?
I have had a much more positive week! Some lovely things happened such as picking up our puppy, Buddy!
2) What are you doing to keep yourself occupied?
Doing stuff around the home, reading, writing, doing a ton of blog admin and also getting to know Buddy better – he’s so sweet and affectionate!

3) How are you dealing with everything at the moment – are you self-isolated, going out for essentials etc? Has this changed?
I am doing ok – I’ve only popped out to get Buddy the other day and one trip to the shop up the road.
4) What advice do you have for others?
Stay at home and keep safe. Same as I say every week. My advice won’t be changing until we are out of lockdown!
5) What have you bought this week that others might like? Especially if from a small business.
Just a few books on the Kindle – I love me a book!
6) How has your routine been this week? (Question by Don’t Cramp My Style)
It has been a bit hit and miss – I’ve been struggling to sleep!
7) Have you planned anything for once lockdown is over in the past 7 days?? (Question by Don’t Cramp My Style)
Just seeing my family and friends, much like previous weeks!

I’m glad you’ve had a better week this week! Aww Buddy seems to have settled in quite well and he looks like a lovely bundle if fun to help keep spirits up throughout the day, bless him.
I love Buddy and can not wait for updates on how he is getting on, sounds like you had a good week x
9 weeks has gone so quickly hasn’t it? Though I’ve worked all the way through so I guess that’s why.
I am so glad you are feeling more positive and I totally want Buddy hugs he is such a cutie.
Stay at home and keep safe is still the best advice. Although I am looking forward to meeting with friends and getting out by myself, too, I won’t be on the starting line to do so in mid June. There are still about 8,000 people becoming infected with the virus each week so I can wait.
I’m so not feeling it at the moment as a grandparent of only one my heart and my arms are aching for my 6 year old grandson . Loving your Buddy he’s adorable could hug him too x
I don’t have much online work to do right now, so I make use of my free time by doing more baking. Hopefully before this lock down is over, I will be a guru in the baking arena. Haha.
Buddy looks super cute, love his spots. I am sure he is keeping you and the kids busy and entertained at the same time.
What a cute pup, I bet he is keeping you all busy during this lockdown.
I’m glad you’ve had a better week. Buddy looks gorgeous hope he settles in well. Thank you so much for hosting the link up – I need to do mine for this week.
Oh my goodness Buddy is beyond cute. I adore dalmations, they have a lovely temperament normally. You are very lucky. Mich x
Oh m Buddy! Adorable! We’ve been keeping an eye out for our first pup, but haven’t been able to find the right fit yet! x
Aww Buddy is so cute!! I have been doing a lot of blog work this week, when I can get a go on the laptop, as most of the kids school work is online
