Hi everyone!
Have NC but just after some advice
Just before lockdown I moved back in with my parents, along with DH and DD, as we'd purchased a house that needed renovating and was uninhabitable, and we'd given notice on our old house. I work in non-essential retail and so have been furloughed and DH has been successfully WFH. Usually my DP take care of DD when we are working, which is 4-5 days per week.
My DM is currently shielding as she has numerous health issues, and we're all doing the best we can around that. We've had some food shop deliveries and I've had to go out shopping if we've been unable to get a slot, but for the most part we've stayed in the house.
Now non-essential shops are looking likely to open on 15th June and I'm expecting my employers to contact me soon regarding this, but I feel so much anxiety around going back to work while we're still living with my parents. I know we can't all stay off forever and things have to start getting back to normality, but I'm really nervous.
I just wondered if anyone else is in a similar situation and what you're planning to do? Are you just going back to work and then clothes straight in the wash/get a shower when you get home? Are you requesting to still be furloughed until shielding is lifted?
Please don't anyone jump on me! This isn't me saying don't think I should work, just that I'm nervous about potentially bringing the virus home with me and putting my DM at risk (our area is quite a high risk part of the company).
Thanks
