That's how I feel. We're short staffed due to some staff being on furlough. I'm still playing dodge the customer, some are great, some are idiots! But I'm still here, still breathing, just knackered.
Things are changing so quickly now. I think so many are after the family bubble.It looks like we will be able to form a 'bubble‘with our son, after today’s announcement. We saw him for a socially distanced picnic and gardening session in his back garden last weekend, but I was itching to get the pruning shears on to his hair! I managed to restrain myself, but am looking forward to meeting up and being able to give him a haircut before it turns into a complete mullet!
I so need a haircut. My hair hasn't been this long in ages!Things are changing so quickly now. I think so many are after the family bubble.
I am very much looking forward to a haircut soon.
How have you decided between your children? Does your daughter not live on her own? My mother in law, who lives on her own, has four sons, four daughter in laws and seven adult granddaughters living in the area. Two daughter in laws have parents who live on their own too. We can’t make a bubble because of our vulnerablity so we’re out, my sister in laws will of course want to make a bubble with their parents and their hubbies will want to want to make a bubble with their mother. The granddaughters have to choose between two grandparents. My eldest daughter has a recently widowed mother in law ( April) who is incredibly lonely, so she can’t see her grandmother as her hubby will want to visit his mother and take the children. It’s very complicated if you have a large family like ours.It looks like we will be able to form a 'bubble‘with our son, after today’s announcement.

Ah, it was an easy decision, because my daughter lives 6 miles away, and my son is an hour away, so it’s easy to pop up for a quick socially distanced walk with daughter between the showers, and I will see her every week at riding, now that group hacks and lessons are allowed. (Although it seems strange arriving at the stables in separate cars).How have you decided between your children? Does your daughter not live on her own?

That’s good thinking. I really don’t know what’s going to happen with MIL. Would it be cruel if we didn’t tell her about Boris’ new “ rule”, she doesn’t watch the news, “ it’s too depressing”? 😉Ah, it was an easy decision, because my daughter lives 6 miles away, and my son is an hour away, so it’s easy to pop up for a quick socially distanced walk with daughter between the showers, and I will see her every week at riding, now that group hacks and lessons are allowed.

Im glad we don’t have any difficult decisions, with having to choose to see one relative, to the exclusion of another, that must be so hard. But hopefully in another couple of weeks, it might be relaxed a little bit more.
Getting bored but no rush to go back to work I’ve nearly decorated the whole house lol I’m running out of things to do I’m trying to get into some exercise but I’m failing at thatJust checking in folks.
Hope everyone is coping, and has managed to find the level of separation/isolation that they are happy offers them reduced risk, while also allowing life to continue.
Anyone found any particular difficulties or (even better) any unforeseen benefits and opportunities from this peculiar stage in all our lives?
Any top tips to share?
Any long-forgotten hobbies being resurrected?
Is ‘working from home’ working out (if you’ve been able to arrange that?)
Any book or box set recommendations?
Hang in there folks. It will all be over by Christmas (as they used to say in the war!)
I did my patio last year that was a good work out lolI could do with some slabs laying if you're anywhere near N Warwickshire and want summat to do that involves physical effort and intelligence! LOL (only little ones, just great thick Stonemarket 'sandstone' 3ft x 2ft ones....)
