    Im assuming this ban wont be lifted too quickly,

    so unless you work in the allowed business, what will you be doing??? or what can you do?

    Netflix? Exercise? Drinking?? Making babies? Camping?

    Focussing on exercise and fitness, no excuse not to do it now. Also starting an online course. Basically doing all the things I used to complain about not having enough time to do. I'm too old to make babies thank goodness :p

    On a more serious note what happens if:

    electrical/plumbing faults in the home occur;
    building work such as reno's are underway?

    Also it is possible there could be some fine Mandolin players who emerge. Unicyclists not so much as the wheel fell off.

    well, I just that this thought, if you have a tradie come over to paint your house,

    its not an essential service, so technically illegal,
    but if you ask your friend to come and help you paint a house, as long as you maintain 1.5m, then its technically ok isnt it>?

    edit: maybe ive got too much time on my hands but am I overreacting in absolutely Crapping myself? i suspect there is a huge rush at the supermarket immediately, as we speak

    Sounds like we'll be doing our taxes. No excuses now.

    I'll have to mow a few lawns or one lawn several times.

    Might be some self-isolation on the cards too.

    Supermarkets are staying open ... although think I might get my bread and milk at the petrol station with less crowds

    Hopefully everyone will have hoarded all they can afford soon as I've run out of bananas and would like some more ... but ain't going anywhere near that chaos

    according to general consensus, stock levels were ever so slightly increasing overall, however due to this announcement, I think VIC/NSW, everyone is going to go into another hoarding panic

    Red tip bananas were only 10 cents more expensive than ordinary bananas.

    '$7 for lettuce is ridiculous': Fruit and veg prices skyrocket amid COVID-19 panic buying

    Ok so I laughed at my mrs when she said she will start growing vegies when this whole sorry saga started - dammit she'll be the one saying "I told you so" yet again.... :oops::oops::oops::oops:
