Bubbles donāt have to be your partner, or a lot of us without significant others would be v lonely. She has found ways to stretch a lot of the rules but really sheās not actually breaking them. I agree that she should be minimising the risks for her parents.On Jack's chart, she was bubbling with Louisa, also bubbling with her parents, had someone else coming in (Caroline) to provide childcare. Also her son was moving between her's and his father's. I understand that her son should be able to move between households to live with both parents, but I have no idea why Louisa is allowed to bubble, she is not her partner.
I agree we all say Jack needs real life friends, but during lockdown those friendships can and should be maintained by the phone/zoom/WhatsApp.
Jack, and her Mum, are in the vulnerable group and in my opinion she is leaving far too many avenues open for possible infection.
Your situation is completely different, you are not in the vulnerable group, are only bubbling with one other and not various groups, and the other person is your partner.
Louisa is living in London midweek, and travelling to Southend for weekends. As far as I read the rules, that is not allowed. Especially as Jack is already bubbling with her parents.
It's not up to us to police Jack's actions, I just think she is treating this as a big game. We should all be doing what we can to reduce the spread of this virus. I really hope that if she is visiting her very ill mother, that all precautions are being taken.
As I said, it is not that she is breaking the rules (though she is by having multiple bubbles) it's the fact that she thinks it is all a game and has tried to stretch the rules to the limit (and beyond)Sorry to keep picking on your posts dear @MancBee, I don't mean anything by it, it was just the handiest one to quote!! BIB are what's confusing me. First point, I don't believe it has to be with a partner, just at least one household has to be single adult household. Second point, I think what Louisa is doing is entirely within the rules. I live somewhere during the week, then somewhere else at weekends (or vice versa for my partner) and now it happens we aren't going out to work, but if we were I don't think we would be breaking the rules.
I agree if she has more than one bubble (apart from a childcare bubble, which I believe is allowed, though I can't *quite* see why she needs one, but that's another conversation), then sure, she's breaking the rules. But the specifics of her set up with Louisa (or whoever) aren't, on their own, anything wrong. That was my point.
I'm just a stickler for being precise in our bitching, because I think not being allows for 'I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT FOR DOING WRONG' type responses.
ETA: As an aside, this also demonstrates how easy it is to have different interpretations of the rules as laid out. Top work from the government there. #politicalflumps
I was just thinking the same thing. Whyyyy does she have to ruin everything for us?I love a good ironic singular kiss at the end of a message. But if Jack is doing it then I guess it's in the same court as doggos, om nom nom and other 'bokeworthy' tidbits
Wouldnāt you make sure the Hootsuite content tallied up with the present? āThe weather is hotting upā itās the middle of November people want soups and hot chocolates not milkshakes, unless sheās gone Australian again in which case good luck Aus.Jack's very own Onion Chopping Song!
Oh Hootsuite has posted... god those nails

GOV.UK specifically says that you should avoid bubbling with someone outside your local area - to avoid people travelling from high risk areas to lower risk areas. Exactly their situation. Iām really surprised Louisa is prepared to bend (but not break) the rules. When youāre in a position of holding people to account itās really best to try and be as squeaky clean as possible yourself...As I said, it is not that she is breaking the rules (though she is by having multiple bubbles) it's the fact that she thinks it is all a game and has tried to stretch the rules to the limit (and beyond)
I am in the vulnerable group and am truly scared of catching this virus as I do not want to find out if I would survive or not. Jack and her mum are also in the vulnerable group, but she does not seem to be treating the situation seriously. She should be trying to reduce contact not seeing what is the maximum number of people she is allowed to meet with, and ensuring that she sees that maximum. It should all be about minimising contact, not maximising it.
Perhaps I am being overly sensitive, on my block of flats (of only 150) we have had 3 cases and the death of one woman who was only 60. In Salford and Manchester there are so many cases it really is frightening.
If she is in the vulnerable group, why is she leaving herself open to possible infection when there's absolutely no need?
This is always my thing too, we know so much fact that it dilutes the message if we then start hypothesising and you just know she would turn it on itās head and start a trolls narrative.I'm just a stickler for being precise in our bitching, because I think not being allows for 'I CAN'T DO ANYTHING RIGHT FOR DOING WRONG' type responses.
She will be the first to moan if any of them Get sick! She's knows the risk and despite the way she acts she is a fully grown adult. So the risk she is taking are all on her.Bubbles donāt have to be your partner, or a lot of us without significant others would be v lonely.

Yes thatās what responsible adults are having to accept but that list she wrote was ridiculous interpreting the rules in such a way as she could see about 5 different groups of people without thinking how that could affect the most vulnerable person amongst them, rather than herselfShe will be the first to moan if any of them Get sick! She's knows the risk and despite the way she acts she is a fully grown adult. So the risk she is taking are all on her.
We think Buddle made a break for itTalking of bubbles...from her giddiness when she first bubbled up, she's not mention #buddle for a while, has she? Do we think the cooking 'lessons' are still happening?
I agree. I take her household bubble explanations/rules with a generous handful of saltBubbles donāt have to be your partner, or a lot of us without significant others would be v lonely.

are the lights battery operated?Go on then, clean cupboards View attachment 309048View attachment 309050
Yes, I use rechargeable ones. The lights are from IKEA, Molgan. They come on when you open the doors and go off after a couple of minutes. They are a fiver each so I got a couple at a time.are the lights battery operated?
