- The kids wouldn't get up, ready and out on time each morning for school
- They'd have to walk the 5 miles to school along the main road with no paths
- No homework would get done
- There would to no holidays organised or enjoyed
- Planned family day trips would be sparse
- Christmas and birthdays would pass by unnoticed
- No-one would receive a thank you, how are you or greeting card
- Family members would never get visited
- The bills wouldn't get paid
- All the insurances would lapse
- The mail, household paperwork and forms from school would create an impressive stack
- The car would cease to a halt or cause an accident through lack of maintenance
- The family wouldn't have home-cooked meals all together at the table
- In fact, there might not be any food in the house, as the order might get forgotten
- School lunch bookings and payments would be forgotten
- The house would be in disarray, things wouldn't get tided away until weeks later and the dust would build
- Everyone would have to dress from the laundry pile
- The kids would look quite humorous in clothes and shoes a couple of sizes too small, as nothing new has been bought
- The items to go to the charity shop or dump would build up and up
- All the regular dentist, doctors and eye checks would be forgotten
- Everyone would look like a shaggy dog without any haircuts
- Various charities would be one volunteer down
- My blogs would fester, unloved
