Had to make up quite a few answers, as many didn't apply to me.
It seems that I will crack on May 21. I wonder how that will manifest itself, and if I will notice.
April 27th - Lots of the answers didn't apply - I don't have a garden or outside space, live in a flat and my view is buildings - across the gardens between, but I'm 10 minutes walk away from fields and my exercise yesterday was a 7 mile walk on footpaths, easily socially distancing: for large sections there was no-one else there to walk round and where there were people there was loads of space to avoid them (and we geocached). I've also been in lockdown for longer than the rest of the UK because my daughter had COVID 19 symptoms on 18 March, so our 14 days of self-isolation started nearly a week before the rest of you.
13th of May - but I have to LIVE that long!
Actually this is only a couple of degrees stricter than how I have been living the past 2 years. But with more danger outside
Many of the questions didn’t have suitable options. But May 10 I’m told.
Of course, it didn’t take into account that I had already been fairly housebound for all of February. And wife as my caretaker was in much the same boat.
Actually hubby and I have been counting days in confinement (well, that's what it feels like) since Feb 22, making this day 49. We felt ever so righteous going to a major sale at an antiques mall the dya before, keeping our hands in our pockets all the while (saved us some cash too!). Celebrated by a pub lunch, after which we used hand sanitizer like the dickens so I guess we deserve an extra 30 days sentence..... I mean, 30 days more of retreat.
May 20th! Clearly I'm not that bothered about staying home. Actually it's true, it's the going out to work (NHS hospital so no work from home for me) and the supermarket that make me more stressed! Being at home is fairly chill - for now.....
13th May for me. At least I'll make it to my birthday.
Actually I thought this would be a quiz about how long you could hold out before eating the Easter Eggs you've got stored, no matter if it is Good Friday.
May 10th for me and I'm not the least bit bothered by staying home, being practically agoraphobic in ordinary time, so I'm questioning the scientific accuracy ... oh right.
I love the little avatars, they would be fun to use for the duration.
Tuesday 19th May, apparently. Though some of the answers I had to make up, as what I would answer wasn't there. I am mostly drinking tea, but there was no option for that. And like Ck, I started a week earlier, on 18th March, because then we had the option to work from home if we had health conditions. In reality, I think I've already cracked a couple of times, and then uncracked again - I suppose one could develop a kind of repetitive crack syndrome!
My goose is cooked as of May 7th, but I can't think why -- aside from the cumbersome food shopping and the annoyance of trying to keep students engaged through email and Zoom, this isn't all that different from my regular old-lady life. I miss outside, though, amd having no garden.
Another one for whom several of the answers didn't apply, but again, approx. (is wine closer to gin or to beer?? )
May 11th.
I'm not sure what the factors that are behind this that come to the conclusions of specific dates are, and at one level I'm looking at it as a bit of fun. I suspect that the reality is that I will endure as long as is necessary... Solitude is fine, if it's embraced & chosen. And whilst it was not chosen, I have come to terms with it, embraced it, and that is OK. I have the Golden Ticket of an NHS ID card, which at many levels is a "Get out of Jail Free" card... I can access preferential shopping times, it is considered OK if not necessary that I may be at work; I do need to go in at "odd" hours to catch up whilst maintaining distance etc...
I am aware of the opportunities to misuse this that are available to me. I pray that I may not do so...

(Yes this is a genuine line of Shakespeare, from Coriolanus. I know this because it is on a magnet on my fridge.)
Very true!
I have given up alcohol for the duration - being so much an ‘all or none’ person I had to go for ‘none’.

That's true of so many of these silly things. I had a turkey sandwich for lunch. From my back window I see trees.
There was nothing in the food suggestions comparable to what we're really eating, which is pretty healthy.
The other thing that I suspect marked me down was the lack of alcohol around, but that's choice.
May 21st.
Well, my cracking up day is May 10. Think we should send a message to the Adminisphere?

Note we'll already be one down up there by then...
Maybe we'll try to not crack too much!
I can actually believe this...
