Aww that's so cute, bless them Bet you've had a lovley day.We had our first socially distant visitors today (scotland) I was worried how my toddler would cope but it was great. We set up our old playpen to block off part of the garden near our side gate and set a table and chairs up that I then sprayed with detol Also this bit has the outside tap so we put some handsoap out beside it.
My mum and dad came and brought their own drinks and snacks and sat for a few hours in their VIP area watching the kids play in their paddling pool and running about. They also kept bringing things from the house to show them. At one point the middle one tried to bring out a shoe rack to show them Toddler accepted he couldn't cross the fence and was happy chatting and playing. The kids were so excited when they arrived
I think strictly speaking you shouldn't be giving anyone food and definitely not setting out drinks that more than one person can touch ? In Scotland we have been told to bring our own food and drinks of visiting people. If you are going to I would go for something in wrappers or boxes ? And leave hand gel for them ??
Yes good idea a small pack each. Hope she has fun partyAww that's so cute, bless them Bet you've had a lovley day.
I thought iced buckets with pop and change them when new people come. They will need changing anyway due to the ice melting. Probally get smaller packs of cupcakes so each house hold could have their own instead of a dipping into one. Not like a massive drinks and cupcake buffet x
Using an old playpen opened up is a great idea... I wish we had one. Scared to have family over in garden as I know our 2yo will want cuddles and not understand.... Play own would mean she couldn't get over it! XWe had our first socially distant visitors today (scotland) I was worried how my toddler would cope but it was great.

This is exactly what I was worried about then last night we had the idea and it worked so well. He went up to the fence a few times but they were sitting far enough back from it that it was ok. He did look at bit unsure when they left though as I said to blow kisses and I could tell he wanted to go to my mum for a hug and I think he was a bit confused as she would never leave without giving him a hug normally.Using an old playpen opened up is a great idea...

I don't think so... May need to get husband to help me get creative hahaThis is exactly what I was worried about then last night we had the idea and it worked so well.

Is there anything else you could use to make a barricade a garden table on its side or something
I agree it is important but it's crazy to see those images and I have a bad feeling this is going to end really badly in terms of CovidI fear posting this because I fear it can be seen as me saying the movement isn’t important or the protests aren’t important
and what I’m really saying is the first six months of 2020 will be a ducking history degree in itself.
I’m seeing protests being arranged in Leeds and London,
I’m watching everything as it plays out in the USA.
And I’m wondering how all of these protests, and a pandemic will work together,
please, please nobody take this as judgement on the protesters, although I do judge the looting and violence.
but wtf is happening to the world.
the book will be calledI agree it is important but it's crazy to see those images and I have a bad feeling this is going to end really badly in terms of Covid
Like you say I keep thinking about when I studied history and how things are remembered and certain events marked as catalysts or turning points etc and trying to guess what will be the information that sticks around !
Does anyone else find the way this has been announced really random? Why not wait until tomorrow's briefing?For all us shielding on this group.Coronavirus: Some people shielding allowed outdoors from Monday
Some restrictions on vulnerable people shielding from coronavirus are to be eased after 10 weeks.www.bbc.co.uk
Again, that wasn't aimed at that child.
But 100% parents need to mind their mouths around their children as they are projecting their own fears onto their children and that's not healthy.
One of our children isn't coming back and I'm worried for her staying at home. This is the same child who throws up at nursery and shakes and cries if her hands get dirty because "Mommy says I will die if I come home dirty" she has cream where the skin is literally cracked all over hands from washing them and this was last year. Mom carries her from car to nursery covered with a blanket and doesn't want her outside.
When Mom picks her up, she takes her to the bathroom, washes her hands, face, removed her clothes, puts new clothes on and antic bac gels her hands, arms and legs.
There's things now on place.
Intentionally or not it is abusive. Abusive includes damage to mental health and well being.
I certainly couldn't ignore a situation where a child is terrified because of what's been said by a parent. We shouldn't be scaring our children this way, it's bloody awful.
I do feel that this announcement is going to be followed by a shielding extension. Either that or they know there's going to be a second peak so letting us out for a bit before we get locked down again. Something about it just doesn't sit right with meDoes anyone else find the way this has been announced really random? Why not wait until tomorrow's briefing?
Think if it's true, shielding will be extended
I'm so glad you're on the same wavelength as me regarding this.I do feel that this announcement is going to be followed by a shielding extension.

It all feels rushed especially after they said during Thursdays announcement that those of us shielding will need to carry on as we are. In some respects I'm excited to have some freedom and my kids certainly need it but the other part of me is terrified.I'm so glad you're on the same wavelength as me regarding this.
Totally agree but seeing news coverage of USA totally valid if peaceful protest and social distancing.I fear posting this because I fear it can be seen as me saying the movement isn’t important or the protests aren’t important

A convoy of men arrived next to us at the beach yesterday, 2 or 3 cars, drinking beer at 8:45am. I have no idea how far they travelled but they didn't know where the carpark machine was, didn't know where to enter the beach and were asking one of the rangers where they could BBQ. I was at a National Trust beach which typically is all local NT members. Not large groups of tourists drinking and blasting music. Just not that type of beach.Then icing on the cake least 10 other eastern European freinds turn up they all 1 big convoy to the beach.
Spoke to another freind different area city says lots her neighbours packing up picnics and beach stuff for day out.
I think I'm gonna need a social media break (apart from tattle of course!) as I'm getting far too cross seeing how many people don't give a tit and are just doing what they wantFamily just posted pictures on social media. 10 of them in one back garden last night. Kids sat on grandparents knees and no social distancing at all. Is this just one big joke to some people?
I left our family WhatsApp group for the same reason. Couldn't cope with the don't give a tit attitude from everyoneI think I'm gonna need a social media break (apart from tattle of course!) as I'm getting far too cross seeing how many people don't give a tit and are just doing what they want
