If I missed a thread somewhere about this give me a shout, but is no one else concerned about this next wave that appears to be surging it's way through the country ?
I again, am becoming anxious to go out and more concerned with my daughter getting so close to her due date and having to work in her shop until Christmas Eve.
Testing regularly, but I am finding it quite stressful and just want her to get to Friday safe. She is not returning to work after that, but I do think that there will be a definite short lock down after Boxing Day again.
I think so too. I think the powers that be are just waiting for Christmas and probably New Year to be over and then we’ll be locked down for a long time. Just what we need…not. Probably necessary though.
Sunny, I think that all the signs are there. Rumours( rumours only) about a lock down before Christmas, I really don't think that our PM is brave enough to do that. However necessary. Savid Javed (sp) saying that the country is in a serious situation. Sunny, is there anyone else who can take over the shop for your daughter? Would she ask customers to show a very recent lft? I really understand your concerns. Roll on Friday.

I haven't been watching the news although been aware of things heating up again.
I've continued to be really diligent though, I never stopped wearing my mask, haven't been in crowded places and only continued to see the same people. The only thing we were going to do is go away for a short break in January, which we have paid for in full, but I did take out insurance in case of events and glad I did.
I would rather not have another lockdown and wish that the mask wearing measures had stayed in place previously, never understood why these were lifted. I think covid as moi suggests will always be about. If all the people all over the world had complied to all the measures in the first instance, we would not be where we are now..meanwhile those who can see how things are going in this world, are heading to Mars. So if we thought climate change would get us first, I think not.

She has a young woman who works with her, who has been testing everyday and has stopped going out herself, just to help my daughter. I would prefer it if she stopped now Trisha, but she won't as it is her business. She also has the added stress of her husband being a chef, who predominantly works at a wedding venue! They are aware of the situation and have him working in a kitchen mainly on his own.
Friends who we have shared Christmas Day with us for the past 6 years, one of them has caught Covid, so they are obviously now not coming, which in a way I am happy about, but we are suppose to be having family over on the 27th and more friends on 29th, even though everyone is testing before meeting up, I am still not comfortable to entertain and want to cancel. I was hoping that the government would do it for me with the lockdown...
In truth, I actually don't mind the lock down. It has been way too busy for me lately and I have not enjoyed it. I want a bit of peace and quiet.
You have such a lot going on SunnyD, practically and emotionally...you must already feel tired and shattered without all the prep of food, menus and hosting. Such a major concern with regards to your daughter too, you must be at your wits end.
It is looking like there may be a lockdown around the 28th now, I think that is still good justification for putting off celebrations on the 27th , looks like the one on the 29th may be taken care of by Bojo.
I hope you all get to Friday safe and well, particularly your daughter, and can enjoy a relaxed christmas and a good rest. xx
I agree, think the lockdown maybe what you could do with SD. You have too much going on and things to consider. Friends, as dear as they are, can wait. Family first, which includes yourself too xx
There is a lot to be said for being part of a group, and the support and friendship that is gained from this.
Every time there has been a rumour about Covid lockdowns, it has happened. Is it because the government leak it to get us prepared? Keeping everything crossed Sunny Days. I’d not worry about saying you are cancelling as I’m sure your family and friends will understand the situation. Your daughter takes priority!
Selfishly, I don’t mind another lockdown as long as it’s next week - I just want to see all of my sons over Christmas! Last year I couldn’t see one of my sons for 10 months… I never stopped wearing a mask and have three vaccinations, hubby is more nervous than I am. Stay safe ladies xx
Thankfully, my daughter is home and her husband has saved up enough time for them both to be together before going back to work in February, so they are totally safe with their newborn.
I just want to sit by the fire drinking coffee and knit with no pressure of things to do.
So, weirdly, hubby tested positive a week ago and has had bad cold symptoms. I’ve been testing every day and negative so far (day 7).
He was feeling better and tested negative on day 5, faint positive on day 6 and definite positive today. He says he feels a bit tired now and more blocked nose than the last few days.
Glad to hear that your hubby is better Becky, my OS tested positive three days before Christmas, started with being a bit sniffly, but not a full on cold like symptom, sniffle soon disappeared and he felt no other effects at all.
How was it. I’ve been exposed to it a few days ago. OSs girlfriend has it. He thinks they might have picked it up at a New Years party. I went out for a Chinese hotpot with them on the 2nd. So far though he’s ok and so am I but I feel like it’s only a matter of time.
