Despicable Anti Dementors

New thread

Great new word.

Glad to see you lot are all still on the case.

I saw a man angling today. I was delighted.

😂

I'm in labour, as opposed to going to the hospital I'm opting to save the NHS by giving birth under my sofa like a cat would, while clapping non stop for the NHS. Then I will name the baby NHS nightingale. 👏 👏 👏

Hello again fellow despicables (does that make some of us minions I wonder?!)

Just saw on another thread mention of 2 pandemics - c19 and fear. So true, sadly.

God I can barely keep up

In Scotland there is also an election next year and factional fighting within the SNP. This will all no doubt factor in to the approach.

As will the Calvinist desire to accept misery.

Oh and not only are we paying cash for everything but ds3 has started collecting the special 50ps so we have been asking for them in our change. Everyone we have asked has tipped out their 50p box and sifted through them to find some bless them. Lots of sensible non hysterical people where I live thank goodness.

Can a newbie pop in. We just hit letters emailed about our school going back and the parental FB forums have some stellar fearmongering going on. I'm really pissed off. I think I'm the only one so far in one year group who's said they'll want their child in.

Let me and my kids out Nicola.

Am fucking tired being in a flat with 3 kid# Nicola

You fucking try i5 Nicola

Hi from Australia my fellow homicidal maniacs. Schools have opened partially in most states and all the kids should be back full time by next month. Two households can visit each other. Gatherings of 10 unrelated people are allowed outdoors. Restaurants and cafes can seat 10 people now. My FYOS DD went back full time this week and is skipping on air. The dementors are waiting with bated breath for the death spike as they have invested a lot of energy into their outlandish claims on Twitter and social media. Pleasingly, the General population is ignoring them and are sending their kids to school, going to the shops for curly wurlys and having picnics.

Absolutely nothing in the welsh media about deaths yesterday, no numbers, found the result buried in a national paper. 9 deaths, and the dementors, want a harder lock down. fgs.

Bought some lobelias in Wilko today. They had some nice plants.

Just checking in.
I am one of those free range kids too. How did we survive? Working at 13 on the berries every year. Piling into the back of a transit van to get there😀 tatties in October. Out on bikes all summer, swimming at beach or local small river. Bliss. My kids were pretty much the same except no damm work for them mores the pity.

I am bloody mad with NS and her sudden concern for everyones 'health' get one over on Boris plan At the expense of the whole bloody country. Kids need to go.back to school. Ds2 is supposed to be starting s4 and has a pile of exams to prepare for plus a college course. No word from our local high school on opening anytime soon. Although they are getting work through school he can't do it all online.

Kids are not superspreaders no more than adults. Nobody seems to consider a teacher could be asymptomatic and pass it on to colleagues or the kids! Nope its all keep the kids away they are plague carriers. By the same token no supermarkets should be open. Hundreds of people not just 15 through a day, no sd of any use for staff its a just a joke. Yet I havent seen staff dropping down like dominoes.
And kiss goodbye anything being left of the economy without tourism.

I guess the Tartan Army will be 'going over the wall' to england for fun and frolicks in the summer. 😉

needanewusernameplz good luck and breathe

@thecrackening now I want a curly surly!

@TheKrakening3 my mother is sadly in this group of crazed covid obsessives. Everytime we talk she adds a year to when International travel will be allowed.

Last week - no travel until next year
This week - not til 2022
Today - 2023

DIL found an old video of GS today at the same age his younger brother is now. He was reciting in welsh his numbers, his little brother should know them by now. I doubt the eldest one will recall his welsh after 6 months off school. So much for that then.

@TheKrakening3 we're aussie as well but I live in London. Mum is in oz. wish we lived there still tbh

Everytime we talk she adds a year to when International travel will be allowed.

Ooh, you could have some fun with that. "2023? REALLY Mum? That's very optimistic of you, I'm thinking 2030 at the absolute earliest..." See who's the first to get to 100 years.

Could not believe my eyes tonight someone filmed a local coming home after six weeks in hospital. A heroes welcome He had been home to visit family in China. Glad he is ok but the fuss over it. Nuts.

I've hit a wall again today, once again not seeing an end in sight. Had a generic newsletter from the school which basically gave the vibe that they didn't want to open. I feel like we are being lied to, it's completely messing with my head and all the conspiracy theories that are crazy are beginning to seem sane.

I'm eating and drinking more because I'm fed up and have nothing to look forward to. My life pre lockdown was fairly dull, school run, gym, school run, work or school run, play date, school run and no work.

On the plus side I have to "socially distanced" walks planned for next week and people round here don't seem to be totally mental. The kids park was open yesterday as we went for our walk so we played in it, kids were so happy. It was shut again today which made my 2 very disappointed.

My 4 year old is unlikely to see the inside of his school this side of September with the tone of the newsletter and the fact 2 cases have been round in school in the nearest city. My 2 year old should have been going to nursery one day a week for a change of scenery, that's now not likely which isn't the end of the world but he's missing out on socialising with kids his own age.

I've given up now with the rules and willing to take our minescule chances. Anybody who wants to stay away then that's fine, I don't intend on making them break the rules. We aren't stupid, we stay away from anyone in the street, wash our hands after and wouldn't visit if anybody was feeling a bit iffy. It's stupid because all we are doing is going for a walk and not stressing about the 2m rule but not coughing on, sneezing on or licking each other. My friends need it just as much as I do.

I have family in Spain and they are now allowed to mingle, 10 people at a time, no "bubbles" Sounds good to me.

Greetings all.

I see I'm late to the party again

I managed to murder several people while out running tonight, at least 10 I'd say.

No other news though.

I'm in Wales
I'm so depressed
DD will
In all likelihood not be back in school till September
DS can pretty much wave any hope of support and getting his GCSE's goodbye
I want to cry tonight

My eldest has had to apply for student finance today - he is hopefully going to university starting September. £15,000 per year it's looking like and he may only be getting virtual classes for that. Plus the rate of interest has pretty much doubled because of coronavirus.

@Hobnobswantshernameback I never cry but this has made me cry. My child is being failed and I'm utterly powerless and he's great.

Mind if I join? This thread is so soothing, makes such a nice change for people to discuss risk sensibly. There was an article in my local newspaper today as there have been no deaths reported today. Alot of hysterical comments - what about my auntie's , friend's cousin who died last week ? Very sad but missing the point totally.
