I had a lot of work commitments still to see through, here in UK.

My Mum has in the home we decided to have there, I was to follow, so she got set there.
However when this virus was mentioned earlier in the year, and it was clear from Italy etc it would be hitting here.
I brought my Mum to be with me here in England.

Where she's been since before the first lockdown.
Since she has a heart condition.

She's misses it.
However in this crazy and scary year she's been safe with me, that's the important thing for me.

I still have the intention to head there after though, after this virus is hopefully more controlled or near to being better anyway.

That's the sad part isn't, a lot of elderly people will have to spend the Day alone, at least she will get to see you when you drop her dinner in, that's nice :love:

tricky though as if any of us get ill that can't happen so I haven't mentioned it so she gets food delivered as well!

My son came home early so he could isolate so he is in the attic :laugh:

Luckily we're allowed 3 households to mix for Christmas and we're allowed travel between counties from tomorrow so our Christmas Day will go ahead how it would have done anyway (Brother and Sister in Law can travel to us from Dublin/Mother and step dad can come for dinner too).

What about everyone else? Do you have to make changes to plans? Will you ignore the guidelines if your plans would break the rules?

I was determined to ensure she was safe, being her youngest, my Mum seems to listen to me more for some reason :joker:

My Brother's are all old enough to be my Dad as I came a long time after them.

They have their families, So it was the ideal thing to bring my Mum to me in this rotten pandemic.

Thank you Niamh for your kind words.
We try to do our best.

I'm of the schooling we need to look after our Parents.
So doing my very best to do so.

I suppose with the big age gap you were probably like an only child with her



Yeah of course, hope you're doing OK or as well as you can be :hug:

Yes I think I was Niamh.

Mum was in her 40s when she had me.
Thought I was bad indigestion at first.
:joker:

Then had to start all the baby stuff again with me up to and after I was born.
Which she did happily just as as I do now in my care, support and protection of Mum.

Nope. My Brother and I (one household) will be going to my Dad's for Christmas and nothing will change that :)

Is that still within your guidelines or does it break them where you are?
