Caz, from South East London, shows us her mini lockdown bar…
What did you do?
For those without the ability, time or inclination to build a proper garden pallet bar!
We created a crate bar which can be used outdoors or indoors. Ensure the crate can hold lots of bottles, decorate it with lots of lights – we used flower lights and LED bottle lights – then add a large LED bar sign – hey presto! Your own mini-lockdown-bar with minimal fuss and absolutely no carpentry required!
It was a simple vision and all worked perfectly!
Do you have any other projects planned?
We plan to have a garden festival – with camping, music and of course our mini-bar!
Tell the Housebound With Kids community a bit about yourself…

How are you finding being housebound so far?
It’s been tough, especially early on when trying to work full-time and home-school! We’ve learnt not to be hard on ourselves and to accept what we can and cannot achieve during this time. I work in mental health social care and work is becoming busier than ever, so the children are now attending the key worker provision at school – it’s been amazing for them to have a routine back.
Do you have any tips for other parents?
Be kind to yourselves, don’t let the guilt creep in and enjoy a drink from your mini-lockdown bar at the end of the day!
