Well, it was only a matter of time before someone spotted a marketing opportunity.

Laughed at the suggestion that you merely have to get the used mask out of your child's bag & pop it in the wash. Yes, good luck extracting the mask, which has got mixed up with the other crap in there- yes, I know they're told not to take much with them to school, but if they're anything like my two were, there will be stones, twigs & possibly even insects living inside the used masks, that they collected on the way home.

And when you extract the used mask it won't be theirs, it'll be Billy's, only Billy won't have your child's mask, will he? Your child's mask will be hiding under a lone plimsoll in the cloakroom, or possibly sitting on a railing outside the school grounds, getting wet overnight, until the wind blows it away & it is carried off by a fox...

Or, your child will have 6 additional, un-named masks in their bag, belonging to other children. Your child has no idea how they got in there. You end up washing them on top of all the other bloody jobs you've got to do because the extra masks smell funny & you don't fancy handing them in at school in case the teacher thinks you made them smell funny.

Actually, the teacher isn't too happy either. She now has 6 un-named masks to return to 6 children, & 6 mums to placate who have all bought the same pack of identical masks...

Wash just once a week

I'm having fun on a FB Turkish holiday page. They are mostly AD which is good but there are always the dicks.

A couple of wonderful people who have made the decision to go despite being shielded. Choosing to live, not exist and good for them. Like everyone else, it's their choice. So am enjoying putting their dementors down.

I'm enjoying using some MN phrases to good effect.

'Are you always so rude?' is the favourite (don't think I'll get chance to use LTB but we'll see.

Evening.
Bloody knackered! Have a glass of wine and no bloody tonic thus time😄
Work exhausting slept 4 hours after i got home! At least for a lot of the time i didn't gave to wear a bloody mask 😀 But putting it up to go out from behind the kitchen area kind of defeats the do not touch business!

Avoiding all other threads as cba with the dictators and the 'reporters' and of course the 'merailers'😉
Need to look at emails tomorrow see if any info re school restarting and need to do something for work but cba tonight.
Will catch up with thread eventually!

Hoping and praying there’s no wind tomorrow so my grandsons paddle boarding can go ahead.
My son works so hard. He’s a carer and has barely had a day off all lockdown , or at least one where he hasn’t just lolled around the house
So, it’s super gran to the rescue to give these lovely lads some fun
I hope.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🙏🙏🙏🙏

Oh bugger. Shit and bollox
Bloody bbc weather says strong winds
That’s it then
Gutted.

Are you paddling too, Dowser? Rather you/them than me. Hope it's a nice day for you all.

Oh no, just seen your next post about the wind!

Not sure if I'm murderous or virtuous tonight.
I went to the chippie and around the corner, there was a guy slumped on the pavement, leaning up against the wall. There is a big mamba/ spice zombie problem around our city although it seems to have been chased out of the city centre for now...
When I went back to the car, he was still there unmoved. I managed to pull up outside the chippie and let them know about him. One of the girls came out to check and said he is a regular druggie and had been loitering off his head earlier on. We might have been only a metre apart, but I just didn't want to ignore the state he was in incase there was something amiss.

I hate what that drug does to people. It worries me that it is normal seeing people flopping around in a near comatose state, and that it's a hazard to check up on them and that real conditions could be ignored. There was an article a few years ago around the peak of the problem in the centre of town when someone collapsed from a condition like epilepsy or diabetes and they struggled to get support from passers by.

Paddle boarders got stuck this week were seen clinging to a rock because they had been blown offshore. RNLI were out there quickly. What a nuisance Dowser it is a great sport.

If you live on the coast Big Salty website is great for surfers, we look at it for sailing as well.

Laughing here, all so true.

91 year old (partially sighted) gran got shouted at to pull her mask fully over her nose by Waitrose staff member.

Absolutely disgraceful behaviour.

The fact she feels pressured into wearing one when she can barely see is awful.

Saw an elderly lady struggling with mask outside Tesco, think she was finding it difficult to breathe, they should be given some leeway by the mask gestapo

They would.... if the mask police were in fact doing this to "protect others" as they proudly chant. Even they cannot see their own hypocrisy! Seems they're wearing their masks over their eyes as well

My ejogs have been very active again tonight. 3 babies and a mum

More wind!? Been bad enough, today.

I'm madly jealous of the ejogs iAint. Ours stopped coming one day and we haven't had one since.
The only thing eating the mealworms now is a blackbird chick.
Went to Aldi on a chocolate buying trip yesterday (DD1 is on a baking binge).
Woman in front of us spent ages spraying the trolley, her hands, herself, her child in the seat, the floor and everyone in a three foot radius.
The thing is she wasn't wearing a mask - her call , wonder if she was compensating for it?
On another note, anyone know any good places for visits in the Inverness area ? We're sneaking over the border for a few days soon. We shall be suitably muzzled and compliant of course.

Yay here you all are

@TheOrchidKiller brilliant! Same truths apply to lunchboxes and will be tenfold.

Our primary isnt allowing bags, other than for yr6 girls who have to carry period supplies. These girls I'm sure will love the "I'm currently bleeding" advertising!

[quote Dowser]@nannyphlegm
Agree
I’ve been in three shops so far. Only one was I asked if I’d like a mask and I just breezily replied, no thanks, I’m fine.
All was good
If another customer ( masked) asks me why I’m not wearing one, depending on the mood of the day, my response will be
Are you my doctor?
I have breathing difficulties
or piss off
Cos I’m sick of it all now and the cabinet pissing off has really put me in a mood.[/quote]
I have decided what I will say if someone comments on my lack of mask

Firstly I will look at them quizzically, and surprisedly say "were you talking to me?" as if I can't believe someone's randomly approached me

Then when they say yes I'll look bemused and say "Oh. What did you say to me? I didn't hear?"

Then if they've still got the balls to repeat it I will pause, look them in the eye and say "it's absolutely NONE of your business" and walk away

I am hoping that the delaying tactic will give me the time to calmly respond with the latter and not lose my shit . And that also them seeing my surprise at being interrupted and making them repeat themselves will embarrass them. and maybe make them think twice about doing it again to someone else (who may be less robust than me)

Not even 9am and already I have sworn on a thread. The one about self isolating and no income. Some people have zero comprehension that others don't have the same circumstances as them.

The bag ban has caused so much shit for DD2 when in the bubble provision before July... she has motor and organisation difficulties and only started managing to organise bringing stuff home when we swapped the school book bag for a bigger rucksack with a checklist so she could make sure that everything was in there.

Then Covid and now we're back to her trailing belongings and dropping them everywhere and school needing to provide a million carrier bags a week for these kids (who are doing all their work on paper and bringing it home each night because books are the disease now).

To be fair - that's always been a MN thing - people berrating others for using supermarket uniform, or shopping at cheaper supermarkets or buying cheap food who just couldn't ever understand that other people don't have the budget flexibility to do otherwise.

The arseholes have always been like that and devoid of empathy and the ability to understand circumstances differ.

I think it is the consistent not reading the thread on that one and the umpteenth person commenting that if you can't afford to quarantine then you shouldn't go on holiday when it's already been pointed out a million times that you can get caught by track and trace without a holiday and not everyone can remove that risk.
