Do you have any agricultural supply places near you? Our local one (Mole Valley Farmers) have compost. It was buy 2 get one free when I went this week.
Also, here is a youtube about stretching / subbing compost, if that helps?

A couple was allegedly sg in a car park - is it only me who thought hmmm... shitting or shagging? Could be either based on recent media, or both I guess.

So long as it wasn't both at the same time, Wales.

thenightsky · 11/06/2020 15:05

I immediately thought 'shitting' when I read your post.

Orangeblossom78 · 11/06/2020 15:06

Just had email from one of our schools mentioning the R rate also (SW)

They did emphasise the consent, but still! Although my current response to most things is, well, there's feck all else to do is there?

The family that shits together, stays together.
TBH I don't think I have ever, not once, gone for a communal dump with my DH.

trappedsincesundaymorn · 11/06/2020 15:07

There has been inappropriate behaviour between consenting adults. A couple was allegedly s**g in a car park

Driving and then exercising is within the guidelines Grin

I'm so fed up with this lockdown now and lack of schooling I've got 3 under 5 who I love dearly. But fuck me I don't know how much longer I can cope I've got one back at school Monday. However my son is now out of school until September and even then that's a maybe as I had a call yesterday to say they are not sure if they are re starting nursery now in September and will update me in due course. I'm ready to cry and scream.

The shitting couple the parks.

Well all the toilets were shut! What were they meant to do?

Anti-Dementors sh*ing in a carpark?

Cattermole · 11/06/2020 15:15

Oh gingerbreadslice it`s a load of bollocks isn't it?
I'm starting to hate the words "in due course" - they're a bit like "when it's safe to do so".

Cattermole · 11/06/2020 15:17

@Nihiloxica SOCIALLY DISTANCED shitting in a car park, I trust!

Oh god, remember the socially distanced shagging guide?

Our village primary went back Monday Orangeblossom
Next door's youngest is year 6 so he's back and loving it. There didn't seem to be rigidly enforced social distancing in the aying field from what I can see. His mother is desperately trying to get the older one back too in the vulnerable group and is trying to bully his doctor into writing the letter saying he needs to be in (mother is a secondary teacher).
However, another friend is refusing to send her Y6back because if "everything that"s happening in Weston".
When I pointed out that, unless they were planning a field trip to the hospital, they weren't going to be exposed to anything, it became"I don't think it's worth it just for a couple of weeks ".
Then she didn't want to go for a walk with child's friend and friend" s mother as "the husband is still working, so there is a risk".
I asked if he worked in the morgue or ICU.
No, he's an AA man.
So, his job involves exposure to members of the public who sit inside a box of sheet metal and glass and pop their bonnet then?
The child is already one of those scared of everything, clinging to his mother's skirts, needs baying all the time types. And that is just the way she wants to keep it...

Weedsnseeds1 · 11/06/2020 15:25

Babying not baying!

Blobby10 · 11/06/2020 15:25

Does anyone know what the purpose of the lockdown actually is now? It started out as 'controlling the spread' so the NHS wasn't overwhelmed which succeeded. Now it seems to have morphed into 'eradicate the virus' where schools can't open due to ridiculous rules imposed to 'protect' staff. Surely its impossible to eradicate the virus completely which would mean that, following the above 'logic', we will never be free from SD or Roolz and that schools, clubs, team sports etc can never reopen?

Now those of us on this thread are sensible logical and level headed people and know that this cannot happen - humans in a democracy won't stand for it! So what will happen? Will tape on the floors and perspex screens stay as surely staff need protecting from ALL viruses? What will happen when norovirus sweeps through a school/hospital? Or a flu bug? Or a common cold? Will SD be implemented again ? Surely the vulnerable will be just as vulnerable to these viruses? or will the powers that be ever admit that this lockdown was an overreaction? Am I alone in thinking like this? I will admit to not knowing anyone who has suffered with CV 19 although have knowledge of people dying from it who could be called tenuous connections ie daughters boyfriends cousin!

ISaySteadyOn · 11/06/2020 15:28

@gingerbreadslice, Flowers. That sounds rough. No one can or should be expected to live life like this.

Weedsnseeds1 · 11/06/2020 15:30

Blobby10 I know of one household where mother, father and adult daughter had very md symptoms, daughter works for NHS so they were tested and positive.
All fine. Other than that, nothing.
I did know someone who died from CJD (mad cow disease) several years ago, though. I think COVID-19 has to be an improvement on that, as a way to die.

gingerbreadslice · 11/06/2020 15:45

@Cattermole It is. And that's the same as me I'm fed up of hearing it, same as that other phrase was it unprecedented times? Awful saying. It's actually ingrained in my mind!

@ISaySteadyOn It's really hard I mean what can I keep doing with them to occupy them?. I've done homework, I've done little experiments and art stuff with them. I'm bored their bored. I now have nothing left to occupy them with. I don't know how much longer I can deal with it all. And now we're nearly due the 6 week holiday. Sad

Khione · 11/06/2020 15:46

The only thing good about this bad weather is that it has, I think, turned more people into anti-dementors. People that could get out and about and do their gardens etc were a lot happier being locked down in the sun than they (or we) are in this gloom.

Nihiloxica · 11/06/2020 15:55

The purpose of lockdown is to prove that lockdown works.

ISaySteadyOn · 11/06/2020 16:00

@gingerbreadslice, you are doing an amazing job in difficult circumstances and there is no shame in using cbeebies if necessary.

SirSamuelVimesBlackboardMonito · 11/06/2020 16:03

@Nihiloxica you've got the nail on the head there, methinks. Sadly.

Did the zoo reopening thing get the go ahead? There was stuff on the news that it was going to be announced, but was it actually?

(Can't bring myself to watch the briefings, far too much rage and too much sadness.)

TheGreatWave · 11/06/2020 16:06

I'm starting to hate the words "in due course" - they're a bit like "when it's safe to do so".

Oh no I say that all the time at work along with "when conditions allow." Do I need to go and stand in the naughty corner?

I visit people in the community, so it is speak for "I have no blinking idea when I can come to see you, so don't ask."

Zoo's allowed on Monday...at the moment.
