So how many of you are back at work?

I’m self employed and work from home anyway but only able to work 50-60% of my normal hours due to a, home schooling and b, not able to do my usual work as it involves having customers in my house which I can obviously no longer do.

What do you do?! How do you feel about going back? x
Cleaning, erm tbh not that great lol I knew id have to go back at some point but they've given no specific guidance to me personally as I'm the only the cleaner and no mention of ppe. Theyve only given the general stay 2m away from others and wash your hands. I'm also now clinically vulnerable so will have to see what they say to me tomorrow. Quite anxious tbh as I thought we'd be furloughed til end of the month

Aw I’m sorry to hear that about no mention of PPE. I also understand your anxiety, especially if you’re clinically vulnerable..... I am shielding and I’m so anxious at the thought of going outside properly and into other buildings etc. I’ve only been to the drs twice in 12 weeks for routine bloods and was so nervous both times!
Can you broach the subject of PPE with them or manage to get some yourself?! x

If it makes you feel any better, kids in loads of other countries don’t even start school until the age of 7, and they most commonly have better academic outcomes at the age of 16 so . At your daughters age she is absolutely fine to just play, get a bit of fresh air each day, lots of love and cuddles etc. If she is fed, generally happy, and kept busy, you’re doing just fine!!!

I've just been given 2.5 days notice to return to work
Boris is that you? Twat.

I've been furloughed since lockdown started. I work in the hospitality industry and we have just been told today that we are looking at redundancies and should find out by Friday. Feel sick.
Husband has worked throughout as he is a key worker.

Sorry if this has already been discussed but does anyone think the shielding in England will be extended now that Scotland and Wales have extended theirs?

Never stopped, first few weeks did half in half at home and slowly built up to being in every day. Husband got furloughed Friday just because of the cut off date of the 10th!

I think we’ll have to be pretty much covid free (like NZ now) before the shielded are allowed to live their normal lives again.

it kinda feels like the virus is gone, everywhere seems back to normal, it’s so odd to say but it feels like lockdown never even happened.

i mean apart from the kids having a ten month summer and the 2M markers everywhere.
masks never seemed to take off here, and social distancing was an urban myth.

I think everyone is so fed up of staying in for so long they want to get back to normal ( as much as they can) but it doesn't mean we should.
