I don’t see how everyone is so annoyed that you can’t hang out with friends and family yet. Yeah it’s shit but Scotland, NI and Wales have already extended pretty much the same restrictions for 3 more weeks. I don’t see what people expected, England wasn’t likely to be hugely different!

If anyone goes through my camera roll on my phone after tonight I’m going to have some explaining to do

I agree, I think if there is any lift it will be another exercise session and shops that can social distance will be allowed to open. I suspect we will be like this for another 6 weeks.
I do not think that he’ll say right everyone back to work and school.
Someone said about being told to go back to work by their employer, I don’t see any issue with a few days notice. At the end of the day you are currently being paid (Or furlough) and aren’t doing anything per say. Unless you are shielding or have a lack of childcare there should be no reason not to return, provided that you can social distance/be protected at work.
I think we need to be realistic, at some point we will have to get out of the house and back to work/school and social distancing is not possible 100%. We have to accept that we will be getting back to ‘normal’ while this is around. Hospitals need to get people back in for appointments, the economy has to open at some point and people need to get on with life.
As someone posted, this isn’t about this being over it’s about there being an ICU bed for you.

Sorry to hear you're going through a tough time. I don't know the official answer ...but there have been people breaking the rules because they are bored or fancied seeing mates, and you sound like you need a bit of support so if going to stay with your mum for a few days will help then I think you should.
I'm also sure I read something on social media about people being abused can go between their home and a safe place. I know it isn't the same thing but you sound like you could do with the space and help from your mum. Take care
it says pointless on my TV guide.....maybe they’ve just given the briefing a more fitting name

I think no matter what Boris announces later I’ll still be cautious and stay in as much as I can. My work is from home for the rest of this year according to my bosses so aside from school I can keep my distance as best I can. I hope a slight relaxing on visiting my mum and boyfriend though. I can cope with no restaurants, salons, pubs and cinemas for a while. Hoping I can move our holiday in July to next year if possible, it’s only a UK based one but I’d still be nervous to travel by then I think.
Advice has been that if you need to take some time out after an argument you can temporarily move house. I know that’s not what’s going on in your situation, but I’m sure the underlying principles should apply. Take care and sending love
This is my thoughts.
Imagine if he says “in three weeks you can see your family”, but then there’s another spike in infections so he has to backtrack and say no? It would be a disaster.

I'd love it if Boris came out tonight and grounded us all for another 3 weeks.

You’re more likely going to snog the face off your boyfriend than your boss (I hope). The urge to not hug/kiss your loved ones will be harder but social distancing away from your pervy colleague Clive will be easier. (Again I’m reaching here....)
I used to clear my photos and search history every night incase I dropped dead.If anyone goes through my camera roll on my phone after tonight I’m going to have some explaining to do
I have a lot of explaining to do from below when I do kick the bucket and my family come here and ask who ooh the fucking drama is
I really don’t believe Boris is going to announce the lift on lockdown people are expecting. I believe lockdown will continue with a few small changes. Something needs to change soon or we’ll have nothing to come back to after lock down. If people are able to return to work in a safe and protected environment then I don’t see the harm.

I just want to cry. I was banking on knowing when I can see my boyfriend
I don’t know how much longer I can cope with not knowing and the thought of not seeing him until July breaks my heart
Edit - sorry I bang on about my boyfriend so much.. it’s just been the biggest part of all of this for me.

Sorry but the economy is important too; some people have no income coming in now. That has a huge impact on mental health too. I’ve seen families resort to food banks and feeling suicidal that they are at risk of losing their homes and can’t feed their children. Everybody’s situation is different. People really need to realise this.I feel so low right now. If as it seems they expect us to go back to work but won't allow us to visit family I'm gunna crumble a bit. Prioritising money and the fucking economy over our mental health. I miss my Mum.
