I typed out a quick poll and category kept changing to carrot I DON’T KNOW WHY 🤣😂

My daughter had her birthday this weekend, she was 18. My mum came to see her, I told her specifically if she did visit she had to stand behind our front wall and my daughter would stand at the door so it would be 3-4 metres. She said it was ok and she would do so. She turned up, slowly kept creeping further forward and at one point stood less than a metre away, then took my daughters phone off her to see photos of her cake etc. Then she announced she had a lift to ours with my brother and my sisters son was in the car also. So from 2 different households,

I have health conditions and my husband has asthma so I didn’t go to the door, I stayed back Inside and saw from the window. My husband went outside and said please stand back, she said ‘we don’t have the virus nor do they in the car’ My husband said ‘people can carry it and not know, I don’t need the risk and we’ve not left our home in 10 weeks to protect ourselves’.

I’ve been so anxious and angry but I’ve not contacted her as it won’t solve anything, my family just would lash out as they’re confrontational and I’m not at all. When my daughter and husband got inside they scrubbed their hands and phone. Im now terrified we‘re at risk. My anxiety has gone wild and on my daughters birthday I felt anxious all day but had to hide it, It reminded me why I have very little to do with my family. I asked my mum to respect my health conditions and not put us at risk, then she does this. She’s putting herself at risk and my stepfather who is diabetic.

Sorry I just needed to vent this. I’m so cross still.

I'm not sure if I can quote replies from the previous thread but Sky News reported they've extended the review to 28 days now so I'm assuming the next one will come in to affect on the 29th June.
 
What are people’s thoughts on holidays abroad? A few weeks ago I thought there was 0 chance but I’m seeing Ibiza clubs etc stating that they are opening and people on social media seem convinced they are going!

Despite how quickly our government are relaxing the rules, I can’t see other countries welcoming UK residents when we have the highest death rates in Europe ??

I'm in none of those categories. I'm not shielding and my kids are no longer at school. I like doing the vote and I can't on this one 🙁🙁🤣🤣🤣. You could have added another box (none of the above) to allow me to vote🙁🤣🤣

Hope your daughter had a fab birthday!

You stayed inside and everyone scrubbed themselves coming in so I wouldn't worry too much about it. You've done what YOU personally can. Also are there many cases in your area? If it's a relatively small number then the risk reduces.

If they want to mingle and put themselves at risk then that's on them but you've done what is best for your family so sod them!

I wouldn't be going abroad but if I did, I'd be nowhere near a club in Ibiza! However I did my best clubbing 20 years ago! Younger people seem to have taken their own risk assessments though and decided they arent at risk. Why has the government made it illegal for people from different households to have sex? It was prohibited in the first place, so there must have been enough of an issue with people maybe living alone but in relationships popping round to their boyfriend/ girlfriend/fwb house for a bit of slap and tickle. I bet poor Matt Hancock was too embarrassed to tell people not to do it so they had to make it illegal 😄

If we could go quarantine free I’d be first on a flight to be honest. Haven’t been clubbing in 14 weeks! Which might actually be the longest in my adult life? o_O

i don't really know tbh. A lot of me wants to go cause I want a holiday but I don't want to risk spreading it. There aren't many cases in my area so that is ok but i'm more concerned about travelling to an airport and then on the plane. I'm not too concerned about me getting it. More spreading.

Although the friend I'm going with is a paramedic in london and she doesn't seem concerned and is happy to go so idk if that is any help cause it was to me lmao

All Tui holidays now cancelled upto the 1st July. We are due to go 24th July. You can still book Tui holidays from 2nd July onwards.

Spain are apparently moving into phase 2 this week.

I don't understand how Boris has said we will be leaving 2 weeks between each phase and we've gone from 4 and getting ready to start phase 1 in 3 weeks.

Life is pretty normal here. Work is hard and emotionally and physically draining. Cried when I got home tonight 😞

Thank you so much lovely. You can imagine why it infuriated me, still total disregard for my family and my health. Just their usual selfish, irresponsible ways.

I think here it’s not too bad now but it was bad a few weeks ago, we peaked later than other areas. I’m struggling to find out how many cases in my actual county.

Thank you xx

Absolutely. I've been dealing with a similar situation here and whenever I explain it just falls on deaf ears! It's just so frustration when it's always what they want with no concern for your needs.

I wouldn't worry too much cause you'll make yourself ill with it! You've all done what you can, that's all you can do ❤

I read cases are still quite bad around here so I am more worried. I just feel like all our hard work for nothing and taking so much care of ourselves, washing groceries, wiping parcels, staying home etc and then we’re put at risk by people we have little to do with. It did tarnish my daughters day for me, as you’ll understand with my family history.

I guess all I can do is sit and wait now but I feel sick with worry. Xxx
