Bunnings has some advice for the huge number of Aussies expected to use the long weekend to attack jobs around the house.
Two in three Aussies have at least one unfinished DIY project to complete, according to a survey commissioned by Bunnings, while a similar number tackle a project around the house once a month.
“Whether it’s for urgent home repairs and maintenance, supplies for tradies to keep their businesses running or items for home projects to keep people active.” The chain has also had to limit the number of consumers visiting at once, which can create headaches and long queues at busy times such as Easter.“Shopping solo wherever possible, planning ahead to shop more efficiently, observing social distancing and product restrictions and making cashless payments.
“I love how setting aside time to be creative can help us to be more mindful and stay in the present. Undertaking a DIY project is a great way to feel a sense of accomplishment, and it takes your mind off those racing thoughts we can sometimes no doubt feel.”With gyms now closed, bootcamps banned and the likelihood of even tougher social distancing measures in the future, it's no surprise that many of us have been getting our hands on gym equipment.
