Schools are open & children are in full time!

If you had to describe the first few weeks in 3 words what would they be?

Mine: zero social distancing!

Feeling of foreboding

Bluewavescrashing · 10/09/2020 21:02

Handwashing all day

ZenZebra · 10/09/2020 21:06

Every muscle aches. (KS1)

Square arse cheeks.

I'm slowly readjusting to sitting on small plastic chairs again but am feeling decidedly saddle sore at the moment - even with my ample padding.

LadyMonicaBaddingham · 10/09/2020 21:06

For fuck's sake...

practicallyperfectwithprosecco · 10/09/2020 21:08

I'm fucking knackered

Or

Give me gin

Or

Stop licking him - a phrase I've actually had to use today!

donnadenise · 10/09/2020 21:08

Five pupils I'll

harper30 · 10/09/2020 21:10

"Not too bad."

duckme · 10/09/2020 21:11

I'm not a teacher, I work in the office so am among a fab team of newly unqualified GP receptionists trying to triage the masses of phone calls asking for advice or to let us know that their child won't be in because their cousins, neighbours, sister in law had a cough the other day.
My three words are
Back. To. Normal.

I'm so glad to be back, it's like nothing has changed. It is a little oasis of chaos/normality and I didn't realise how much I needed it until we went back.

hippohector · 10/09/2020 21:13

Social distancing impossible

Matter of time

Before I’m ill

Transmit to parents

They could die

It’s very scary
