Move in together? That was advice given when we went back into lockdown by a local councilor! We can't meet up inside houses or gardens so he said if you don't live with a partner, now may be the time to make the commitment!
Move in together? That was advice given when we went back into lockdown by a local councilor! We can't meet up inside houses or gardens so he said if you don't live with a partner, now may be the time to make the commitment!Gahhhh it’s so selfish but the idea of no inside household mixing makes me want to cry, I’ll go without seeing anyone but it means once again not being able to see my boyfriend for a potential unknown amount of time and this time heading into a winter where we won’t even want to see each other outside
Im sure you’re trying to be helpful but as discussed way back when this simply isn’t an option for a lot of people including us. We are recent graduates on very low salaries living in very expensive areas, and financially it is not viable for us to even consider this. Nothing to do with lack of commitment we haven’t got the means to do such a thing nor do we want to stretch ourselves beyond our financial means causing other issues ..Move in together?

Really? No option here sadly.Are there options to do school online instead? Here people can either send kids to school or do online classes.
I wish I had a boyfriend, last time I dated someone was 2017, I was starting to talk to a guy, but over the weekend I found out he went to the Trafalgar Square protest and is interested/following QAnon so my view of him has completely changedMe too!! I think us dating people are forgotten and people assume you can move in together which isn’t the case! My boyfriend and I are both working from home still so very minimal risk to each other. I’d struggle going through months not seeing him again. Might just drive to his house to test my eye sight
Regarding schools, we need to accept that they are telling us that community contact and household contact is how C19 is mostly being spread. Community contact is schools. We don’t want them to close so we need to be open to a new way of learning for the next six months.As much as my son says he hates school,
If they close again I don’t know how he’d cope. Back 2 weeks and he’s almost back to his old self. His mental health really suffered in lockdown.
I’m also pregnant so my anxieties about giving birth are through the roof at the moment. I’m not due until January but I’m still stressing already
I think you’ve had a lucky escape thereStudents locked down after illegal parties at UK universities

how long have unis been open? Just from when I went it used to be around the 20th of sept

Thank you, I ended up ordering a jacket as I was feeling meh about it all. I’m 40 so feel like I’m losing time, also did not expect to be 40, living at home caring for my dad with dementia. The whole QAnon thing is bonkers, so it’s a massive red flag for meI think you’ve had a lucky escape there
You’ll find someone when you least expect it!! The pandemic has been hard for single people looking to date and meet people so I feel you! But you’ll find someone, as cliche as it sounds!
There seems to be lot of people for home schooling why not offer them the chance to do that if it suits them and their family, that would cut down numbers in the classroom .Not all kids want to do work at home it can be very stressful for both kids and parents ,they don't see home as a learning environment.Regarding schools, we need to accept that they are telling us that community contact and household contact is how C19 is mostly being spread.

I will not be in a pub after 10. But I will be in school all day. Teachers have begged for the opportunity of blended learning in order to stay open. But we cannot ignore that numbers have gone up once the schools opened. I honestly don’t believe introducing curfews to pubs will make a huge difference. But sorting out the social distancing in schools may,
I know many will disagree but I believe many on this thread will agree that waiting until half term October will not be the solution. To all horrified by the thought of blended learning - we just need to get through the winter months.
I absolutely think that is an option but would need organising carefully - it would be a safeguarding nightmare unless parents opted in or out and stuck to it.There seems to be lot of people for home schooling why not offer them the chance to do that if it suits them and their family, that would cut down numbers in the classroom .Not all kids want to do work at home it can be very stressful for both kids and parents ,they don't see home as a learning environment.
I think I'd prefer mixed home and school so schools could distance better but the children would also still get the social interactionThere seems to be lot of people for home schooling why not offer them the chance to do that if it suits them and their family, that would cut down numbers in the classroom .Not all kids want to do work at home it can be very stressful for both kids and parents ,they don't see home as a learning environment.
Like I say if it suited people ,I know most I spoke to said they thought homeschooling was a nightmare ,especially if you've got more than 2 kids .That would cause more of a safeguarding issue with parents trying to keep a level head when the kids refuse to listenI think I'd prefer mixed home and school so schools could distance better but the children would also still get the social interaction
How would employers feel about that thoughI would rather blended learning, than a full on closure with no definite end date.
So a week in school and then a week home school (primary kids) I hope they float that as an idea before they go for full closures and prehaps it needs to be looked at sooner rather than later as it surely gets to the stage where there is no other option than a full closure.
Things seemed to work fine with keyworker and vulnerable kids in small bubbles. Our school did 10-15 to a group which is what you would have in each class if you split them, half in half out.
Hope she's Ok and you're not kept waiting too longWent to the testing place. My daughter was sick in a bag after I swabbed her throat And she wouldn’t let me swab her nostril properly. Absolutely awful, but I remained calm which helped her stay calm and she was so brave. I hope I never have to put her through that again. Gonna be a long 24-48 hours. Gut feeling is that it’ll be negative but we are all isolating until we know.
As for parents only wanting kids back in school for “sanity”, that’s just being inflammatory. I don’t give a monkeys what they do in Finland, their culture is totally different to ours.
This is false, under 18s have the lowest rate of infection by any age group and by a significant amount so the rise in infections cannot be blamed on schools alone or even in large part.Regarding schools, we need to accept that they are telling us that community contact and household contact is how C19 is mostly being spread.
