Wake me up when September ends :dance:

[Cal.]

I know its a necessity but I have hated it......

Same :(

[Marsh.]

I've not minded it. Managed to do a few things I've not had time for in a while. But I think I'm reaching my limit now. :(

[michael21]

I know its a necessity but I have hated it......

Think OK the good your doing :cheer2:

[Kazanne]

I know its a necessity but I have hated it......

Tbh Annie I have quite enjoyed it,lol, it will be weird when it ends and everyone is racing round again, I like the peace and stillness of the outdoors and have enjoyed being with the rugrats for a long time,:wavey: but its not for everyone I know,shopping can be a bit of a ballache.

[Beso]

I'm missing my family now, I just wish it was all over.

[Kazanne]

Do you face time them or anything Parmy ? I know its not the same but better than nothing.

[Beso]

I didn't think I could because my phone camera is broken, but found out I can last night on messenger so saw my old mum...it just upset more to be honest..so I've jyst booked a ticket to scotland for Tuesday. ..Im going this time as I have a full face and eye mask now.

[reece(:]

I know its a necessity but I have hated it......

Me too, this is really affecting my mental health.. although I know it's for the greater good.

[michael21]

At least 3 more weeks of lockdown I think it be a lot more :cheer2:

[Jigs]

I'm 50:50 on this. Some days I wake up feeling so carefree and blessed, other days I feel so hopeless and like a caged bird. I'd much rather stay indoors for 3 more weeks than have this spread even further and wipe us all out.

[Jason.]

I've become accustomed to lockdown life so I'm kinda enjoying lazing around and not having to worry about work for a few weeks but I'm hoping this is the only extension and lockdown is lifted in May.

discover any new hobby's i'd say

if you got lots of stairs where you live, you can do some exercise there by walking up and down a few times

but yeah try seeing it as a vacation only then without leaving your home :laugh:

It better to get it all done now or we just have to do this all over again and think of the life's we're saving

[Josy]

I'm not enjoying it at all. I need my routine and these past few weeks it's been all messed up and I just dont deal with it well so that added to the worry about the virus is making me ill.

I'm missing my family and friends especially my dad :/

I'm back at work now so that's helping.

Not to be a complete miserable cow on the plus side it's looking that the lockdown is possibly working and I've been spending some good quality time with my husband.

[Scarlett.]

I've generally taken the time to recharge myself, before lockdown it felt like I was on a non-stop treadmill

I know its pants, but we do need to focus on the positives, yesterday one of my extended family lost their Dad who was in a care home in Ireland, they had to say goodbye watching him through a window, so bad and all as it gets, as long as everyone in your family stays healthy that is all that really matters

We love a looming economic catastrophe.

don't worry you'll get support from the EU

oh wait brexit made sure you won't :laugh:

[Cherie]

don't worry you'll get support from the EU

oh wait brexit made sure you won't :laugh:

Tbh I think in a strange twist of fate the exit might have been inadvertently well timed :omgno:

[Toy Soldier]

oh wait brexit made sure you won't [emoji23]Oh Nicky... Nicky Nicky Nicky... The EU is ****ed sideways.

[Toy Soldier]

Tbh I think in a strange twist of fate the exit might have been inadvertently well timed :omgno:Cherie it seems so well timed that the little conspiracy theorist on my shoulder is whispering "lol they KNEW didn't they."

The worst hit EU nations are going to have to be taken under the wing of those whose economies are still functional, absolutely massive bailouts will be required to keep the EU from imploding and to keep the Euro afloat. Which means those larger economies will have far less to spend on a domestic rebound.

[Toy Soldier]

Just to add of course any major EU slump will have a drastic effect on the UK as well, regardless of membership.

The economic time-bomb is a global one, its not a matter of "who gets hit", only how hard. Which will range from "Very hard in the gut" to "Donkey punch to the back of the skull". No one's just getting a light spanking.

[GoldHeart]

I think this will last till September for when it's "safe" to go out and carry on as semi normal .

Next year we'll still be hearing about coronavirus i bet

no, it will last for a whole lot longer

[GoldHeart]

no, it will last for a whole lot longer

I'm talking about when people will feel safer and when places will open again, of course it will last longer. But by September this year most things will be back on as normal .

We hope by September but could be longer

[smudgie]

I can understand how hard the lockdown can be, especially for anxious people, those that can’t see family and all those that have lost jobs or taken a massive drop in wages.
For me it is not actually being able to hug my loved ones.
But I have friends that knock on my window and wave, leave little gifts in the porch etc.
One of my best friends baked scones, popped into Tesco for clotted cream and a beautiful bunch of carnations and left them in the porch.
Hubby has had to learn to relax, he likes to be on the go all of the time but I think he is secretly enjoying it.

[Crimson Dynamo]

still 100,000 people arrive into the UK each week and can go into any community they please via our airports. so 1 million in last 10 weeks and all in a supermarket near you, weekly.

[Crimson Dynamo]

oh and The Range is still open

what with it being "essential"

:skull:

You do realise that the only people allowed in the UK at the moment are British people stuck abroad

[Denver]

Oh and Romanian farmers but they have limited them and asking brits to do the farm work

[Crimson Dynamo]

You do realise that the only people allowed in the UK at the moment are British people stuck abroad

untrue, farmers are scheduling flights to bring in eastern european workers and its not just ex-pats


and being "brittish" abroad is not a vaccine against infection

In sure that I saw those coming back have to go into a 14 day isolation period

[Crimson Dynamo]

In sure that I saw those coming back have to go into a 14 day isolation period

that was back in march in the Wirral and it lasted about 1 week
