If you always do your fringe then you have nothing to worry about! Iām sure itāll turn out fineHilarious thinking about a spirit level being used
I think I will give it a bash,go with your advice and just trim a little to be on the safe side.I have always done my fringe myself and I have hairdresser scissors.

I always cut my own hair, just never found a decent salon i like and i am fussy with my fringe. From when my mum would take me for half term hair cuts and get a budget fringe whereby it was cut very short so it grew nicely throughout the term.....i hated it.Hilarious thinking about a spirit level being used

I do my own trims and just hope for the best.
Well, I have a 6-month-old to entertain... and feed... and clean... 
But when my husband gets a day or two off (heās emergency services), I try and get the outside sorted...bleaching, gardening, painting... makes me feel better mentally!

I donāt have children either and do feel for those of you who do at this time trying to entertain them and keep some semblance of normality whilst juggling god knows what.Ah bless you, I donāt think Iāve really heard anyone (without children/young children) say that, I suppose itās weirdly nice to have it acknowledged. My eldest is usually at nursery every day and misses it massively, sheās old enough to realise she isnāt going out or seeing anyone, but not quite old enough to really understand why - I feel so sorry for her because sheās so used to being out and about.
Having said all that, I donāt think itās easy for anyone at the moment is it? Even without children I imagine you must struggle some days. I suppose what Iām trying to say is.. donāt feel like you canāt feel sorry for yourself! I know I would too even if I didnāt have children. And I totally get why it makes you a bit twitchy! I feel exactly the same about my partner working. God I hope this is all over soon!
Iām single and live alone and while that might sound like heaven to those of you escaping to the loo for some peace, it comes with its own negatives.
Iām done with this now. Can we go back to normal?
Itās definitely a juggling act!!I donāt have children either and do feel for those of you who do at this time trying to entertain them and keep some semblance of normality whilst juggling god knows what.

I can imagine that being on your own is difficult too though, I think itās hard whatever position youāre in really. I love being on my own, but I suppose you must get lonely/bored sometimes! Iām totally done with it too 
hope youāre doing alright! X
Iām slowly being driven mad I think. Husband is still working which is a bonus, but me, a six year old and two dogs at home is getting a bit tiresome. I mean, Iām grateful that weāre all well, and itās nice that thereās no time pressure to do stuff, and weāre very fortunate that whilst weāre not in well paying jobs, weāve not lost any income so far. But JESUS CHRIST my child can talk. 
It is insane being at home with 3 children. I actually need my own space, itās just the way I am and Iām struggling with this as is my daughter who is just like me. My eldest son has adhd and anxiety comes along with that so heās very clingy which Iām struggling with. But that being said Iām so busy I donāt really have time to wallow. I can see if I were on my own my anxiety would be huge as it would be all I have to think about. Also if I werenāt on mat leave, Iām a teacher so Iād be in school which I imagine would cause me more anxiety being around more people. I donāt think many people are living their best life if Iām honest. I think most people are struggling regardless of their situation.I donāt have children either and do feel for those of you who do at this time trying to entertain them and keep some semblance of normality whilst juggling god knows what.

!!!! Weāre the same, weāre being paid thatās all safe etc etc so weāre very lucky. But my kids can talk. For my son itās guitars and heās obsessed and I spend probably 8 hours a day having to listen to and discuss guitars. I actually told him yesterday itās too much can we not talk about guitars for one hour!

I could have written this !!! My daughter doesnāt stop from the minute she opens her eyes and if she does take a breath the dog starts up. I actually envy my husband hiding upstairs in his officeIām slowly being driven mad I think.

āno mummyā āmummyā āIām hungryā on a constant loop from 6:30am until 8pm. Once heās asleep I donāt want to do anything except for sit in silence! I need to try and work from home now too after a weeks leave so that will be fun! So glad I have this site to vent on with like minded people!One of my besties is a single mum to a very active toddler who is hell bent on doing anything potentially destructivehaha me too but Iām a single parent so I canāt hide away
she has a v high powered job and is expected to lead her team via numerous calls each day whilst entertaining him, ... challenging doesnāt begin to cover it.

Itās driving me bleeping mad and it makes me angry everyday. Angry that I canāt just go out angry that I canāt do anything angry that I canāt see anyone. Iām just full of hate. Hate at nothing thatās the frustrating thing. This entire thing is just utterly soul destroying I hate it so much.
I feel the same. Im angry that I am isolated and haven't met up with people since March 3rd I think (apart from seeing one colleague outside of work) , angry that I'll finish my Master's degree (part time) which cost a lot of money online... I didn't sign up for this tit, I wanted real classes and everything. I'm angry that I cant travel in May and September (West Highland Way and windsurfing in Spain), angry that I am not as productive as others and don't bake, cook, learn to play the ukulele or study Mandarin.
Another angry person here 
Iām in a work conference call meeting at the mo and Iām so angry I just donāt care about anything today. Keeping off social media today as I donāt want to see all the people managing to do it all. Need to get outside for some fresh air and to breathe at some point.

Need to get outside for some fresh air and to breathe at some point.Glad itās not just me! Iām also bleeping sick of people saying āyouāre only being asked to stay in and watch tvā like thatās bleeping easy?? Itās hard. Itās not a holiday for everyone. Itās literally killing my mental health and so many others. People donāt seem to understand how ājust staying inā is actually destroying a lot of people.
You might still be able to go away in September x
I agree, I have two small boys and I am never in. We are always out and about doing something. These last few weeks have been really difficult for us as we are just not used to it. I hate day time TV always have, so I dont generally watch it during the day and I have no patience to watch Netflix or similar. My boys are generally good but I have found them being more naughty recently mainly because they are fed up and spending too much time together, as eldest is normally at school and youngest at nursery. It's really difficult and alot to ask of people as we have never in our life's before been told to put our life's on hold with no end in sight.
Mhm I chatted to a friend about it. We live to travel. We work so we can go away and see the world. We have trips booked. Our mental health will start declining rapidly if this continues.
At the moment, I'm keeping myself busy with work, yoga, gardening etc. But the fear of not being able to travel scares me. And no, it's not the same as holidays. I don't want to go to Lanzarote and sit on the beach (nothing wrong with it, but that's not really travelling).
Exactly this! its ok for the GOV to say stay inside and I know its for a good reason BUT its not so easy when....
a, you don't have a big house and you live in a flat with no garden
b, you already suffer from MH problems and are now on your own 24/7
c, disabled people who maybe cant get out for a daily walk. what about those?
its not normal and they cant expect anyone to stay in for months its not going to happen!
