hahahahahah oh my god
This is me. I was stumped as I was given a paper £20 and couldn’t wash it.
I honestly love her so much, I’m really pleased to see Derek has made improvements and hoping he makes a full recoveryAww Kate Garraway is amazing. I hope her husband gets better.
Great to hear her talking more.
I'm so sorry this is affecting you so badly, you seem very selfless and it's lovely you care so much about not infecting others. The fact is, you are already doing everything within your control and community transmission is currently very low (I'm not sure what part of the country you are in though as some areas are lower than others.)Im not sure if I am posting on the correct thread but just wanted to say that my anxiety and paranoia is literally taking over my life. I work in a (thankfully and touch wood) covid free care home, all thanks to manager intervening sooner by stopping visitors before lockdown and telling all staff to be mindful of this outbreak. I am always very careful. I only go shopping once a fortnight and local corner shop once a week. I use handsoap and hand sanitiser constantly and I avoid touching my face at all unless my hands have been washed about 5 times! Any stuff that comes into the house I wipe down. I'm very much OTT. The rest of the time it's work and home and back again. My worry is that I'm going to get this virus and I'm not worried about myself but I'm worried about my family, both who are BAME and the residents and staff with health problems at work. We are being tested for covid every week and so far, negative but one positive and that's it. Its game over. I'm not sure what it is but I'm always coming down with hay-fever symptoms which I suffer with any way, today is terrible I'm sneezing, blocked up nose and sore throat. The only place I've been to is corner shop. This is really taking over my life guys. I used to have health anxiety and was very fearful of dying but now, I think I wouldn't care if I did because I hate living my life like this. It's depressing and the thought of contracting covid and passing it on, potentially killing people I just can't live with that.
Thank you. I honestly care about everyone else who can get extremely poorly from this. I haven't spoken to a GP as I'm sure there's thousands of other people in the same boat as me, but my manager is aware and all she said was to just keep on top of hygeine, social distancing etc and of course any symptoms then self isolate immediately. We wear PPE at work so thay helps as we can't social distance at work. It's very small and no proper air flow. I am lucky the home I work in is fantastic but of course the worry is there constantly. I just can't wait till this is all over. Wish I could hibernate!I'm so sorry this is affecting you so badly, you seem very selfless and it's lovely you care so much about not infecting others.

Have you spoken to anyone about this? Like a dr etc. If this is having such an impact on your day to day life it might be time to. Also raise your concerns with your manager at work.
Just because they may be receiving a lot of people with the same anxieties as you doesn't make yours any less valid - I would really recommend asking your gp for advice over the phone as they can offer you some support.Thank you.

Same here. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time hanging around the edges of the playground, trying not to get in the way/be spotted between time slotsMy kids school are doing staggered start and finish times from Sept too.
I have 3 kids in 3 different year groups
My daughters school have taken the same approach. They have all year groups back in limited numbers (160 out 420) now for those that wanted to go back.My son’s (primary) school have issued guidance today about how they’re planning on running from September.
Staggered start/finish/lunch times, parents not allowed on site for the older years, one way system, desks facing forwards. Bubbles will mainly be by class but full years if required.
No singing in classrooms, no assemblies, windows kept open throughout winter so wrap up warm!
I think they’ve done a great job keeping parents updated, it must be a real headache! Part of it makes me feel sad and anxious. We’ve become used to our new routine at home and branching out slowly but this is a whole new ball game.
As long as kids feel happy at school that’s the most important thing to me right now. Theyve said first and foremost they’ll make that priority and then once kids are settled, focus on maths and English above other things.
Ours let’s you drop off all children at the earliest time slot, so you clear off!!!Same here. I think I'm going to be spending a lot of time hanging around the edges of the playground, trying not to get in the way/be spotted between time slots
JohnLewis said:Prior to COVID-19 some of our shops were already financially challenged, despite the drive and determination of our Partners. The pandemic has accelerated the shift from shopping in-store to online, and in order to navigate these changes, we are having to make some difficult decisions. As a result, we are not planning to reopen the following shops: Birmingham, Croydon, Heathrow, Newbury, St Pancras, Swindon, Tamworth and Watford.
Such a shame for the employees, but sadly I’m not surprised. Long gone are the days of shopping at John Lewis because the customer service is so much better, since the centralised call centre was introduced the service (not in store) has been dire in my experience. We have a large John Lewis in the city I live in, they need to up their game to survive. So many other shops now offer a better experience.Wow John Lewis has just announced:
