I feel like I'm in a parallel universe, a nightmare you can't wake from

[Iwonder777]

How are we here ... again?

Its awful. I feel nothing but dread

I'm still waiting for Jeremy Beadle to jump out. Or Cilla Black.

Oh yes, Jeremy Beadle!

Your thread title is a very good way of putting it.

It's like that dream where you almost reach the pub at the top of the hill but then inexplicably keep sliding back down to the bottom, no matter how tight you try to cling on to the handrail.

The pub at the top of the hill I love that

Last March I found out I was pregnant so had to wfh all the way through as pregnancy is on the at risk list. I've been on maternity leave since a October and will be until June and I feel the same but I feel awful for feeling so bad if that makes sense, because I would be at home anyway. I think it's just the uncertainty. I miss little things like popping round my friends for a cuppa, my little girl going to nursery, having the option to take my baby to baby classes... it's just awful.

I'm waiting for test results back myself too. Such a bad throat and head today. I always get tonsillitis around this time of year and I suffer badly with my sinuses, so I know it could be that, both my girls are full of sicks and colds at the minute too, but I worried myself into getting a test.

We're all going through this together

We are back to square one.

And saint Boris says “the vaccine, oh the vaccine...” but he’s likely to mess it up completely, along with everything else he touches.
