Lockdown questions with... Glenda Gilson

What’s the one thing you miss most?
Not being able to see my family and friends is killing me.

How are you keeping active at home?
500 walks a day and running around the playroom picking up after my little fella Bobby.

Which show/s have you binge watched?
Tiger king. Gangs of London. Save me & Save me too. Grand Designs.

Pyjamas or tracksuits… discuss
Only pjs for when we are going to bed and tracksuit all day, everyday at the moment.

Have you been wearing make-up/doing your hair?
I always try and put something on my face to brighten me up a bit and make me look more human. All I can do is wash my hair and let my natural curl do its thing. Thank god for my Great Lengths Hair extensions as they curl lovely too. I just blast dry the roots and let my hair dry naturally.

Are you craving particular foods?
Yes! The minute I heard McDonald’s was closing down, that’s all I craved and i don’t actually eat it that often. I’m also craving a take away coffee.

What’s the best bit about being in lockdown?
I suppose being around the family, watching Netflix & not having to get dolled up all the time... but I am getting sick of all of the above too.

The songs I’ve been singing are…
Row, row, row your boat!

Who are you in lockdown with?
My husband Rob and my son Bobby and dog Yazz.

Tell us a lockdown secret
Getting out into the fresh air and making a plan for the evening like cooking dinner or choosing a movie to watch.

How clean is your home since you’ve been in lockdown?
Everyday the house gets scrubbed within an inch of its life. A few clear outs of presses and wardrobes have taken place too.

What will be the first thing you do once lockdown is lifted?
I will go see my family and friends and hopefully (fingers crossed) dine in a restaurant on the way home.

Have you had any Zoom parties?
Zoom with work and house party with friends.

Who do you miss most?
Oh, I couldn’t answer that.

Have you taken up a new hobby or refound love for an old one?
No but my husband has. He’s on a keep fit buzz. He even bought a bike online. He’s driving me mad telling me how many calories he’s burned every day.
