    I see that the results will have to be adjusted for all you newbies that started out on this after us.

    (May 6).
  • 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.

    23rd May. Like RoseofSharon, many answers didn't apply, but I think I made a fair approximation.

    Another May 14th. Or was it 13th, I’ve forgotten already.
  • Another one for whom several of the answers didn't apply, but again, approx. (is wine closer to gin or to beer?? )
    May 11th.

  • 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.

    First question doesn't have a suitable option.

    But with nearest options, I've got until May 15th.

    I feel there is a major omission on the "what are you drinking" question. To quote the Bard,
    Have we no wine here?

    (Yes this is a genuine line of Shakespeare, from Coriolanus. I know this because it is on a magnet on my fridge.)

    May 17th. Temprementally being stuck inside isn't a big thing for me. I'm lucky.
  • 9th May. That far away?? Sooner if we run out of raspberry ice-cream.
  • EutychusEutychus Shipmate
    I'm coming to the conclusion that the (alleged) lack of alcohol in this house must be the reason for my predicted early downfall.

    Very true!

    I have given up alcohol for the duration - being so much an ‘all or none’ person I had to go for ‘none’.

    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
  • 13th May.
  • MooMoo Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Many of the questions did not apply. My date is May 12.

    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.

  • DooneDoone Shipmate
    May 16 for me.
  • LydaLyda Shipmate
    If your roomie is your "cook" does that count?

    May 11

    I get 21st May - had to busk some of the answers
  • May 10 -- good God, that's a full month from now!

    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.
  • LuciaLucia Shipmate
    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.
  • CaissaCaissa Shipmate
    Mother's Day, May 10th. I probably will not see my mother that day since she is in a nursing home.
  • MMMMMM Shipmate
    19 May for me, although there had to be a certain amount of interpretation of some of the questions to make them relevant, as others have suggested.

    MMM

    Deleted double post. Obviously, I am cracking quicker than predicted.
  • May 12.
  • TrudyTrudy Shipmate, Host Emeritus
    Hope someone is ready to take over Heaven hosting duties on May 7, cause that's when I'm cracking.
  • TwilightTwilight Shipmate
    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.
  • 17th May
  • 12th of May.
  • Why is there no option for "you've already cracked?"
  • I cracked yesterday, though it is giving 8 May. Julian of Norwich's day - perhaps I will be sustained by the prayers and example of an anchorite......

  • So many of these I wanted to answer "none of the above."

    That's true of so many of these silly things. I had a turkey sandwich for lunch. From my back window I see trees.
  • May 13, probably because two if the four of us are good cooks - but I still think my counsellor will be surprised if I last that long!
  • My daughter got May 7 - but reckons part of that was she put me down as a cook - the rest of her answers were pretty much the same as mine.

    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.

    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!
  • BoogieBoogie Heaven Host
    It’s a bit of fun. I made up most of the answers.

    May 21st. :mrgreen:
  • OhherOhher Shipmate
    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.

    Well, my cracking up day is May 10. Think we should send a message to the Adminisphere?

    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...

    Note we'll already be one down up there by then...

    Rot Ro!!

    Maybe we'll try to not crack too much!
  • GarasuGarasu Shipmate
    I've done it twice now and am apparently due to lose it on either 1st or 2nd May...

    I can actually believe this...
  • May 17th ... unlikely, I reckon we're good till at least the end of June.
  • I think maybe not cracking isn't all it's cracked up to be.
  • PDRPDR Shipmate
    Who says I wasn't 'cracked' to start with?
