We were at home with 3 of our kids, but we included one of our single, childless friends in our bubble which was great. My husband could go to his house and get a break from family time, or we could have a games night, and that way our friend wasn't on his own. Worked really well. Personally, I really enjoyed lockdown though (it was so peaceful without traffic noise and the pressure to rush around, and I found the quiet very energizing.)
