Haven't seen anyone outside my family for a year now

[Frequentflier]

Yes, I know that sounds ridiculous. I moved to the UK in September from a country that was in brutal lockdown. And then just when I was beginning to make friends here, the UK went into lockdown. DH is vulnerable and rates are very high, so I feel uneasy about meeting anyone even though I am allowed to meet one person. The friends I do have here are very far away and I don't want to take public transport to meet them.

But am going steadily nuts living with two very quiet and busy men.:) Am I overdoing this? My thinking is to continue until DH gets the vaccine,hopefully next month.

It’s the same for everyone, OP.

Not sure you’re supposed to travel anyway. It’ll only be a few more weeks. You can’t just not follow restrictions unfortunately.

True. I agree. I used to attend a walking group within walking distance. But then I thought, it would be really stupid to give DH covid just before he gets the vaccine.

I just need to moan a bit. I won't break the rules though. A couple of my friends also have vulnerable people in the house.

Same here, avoiding giving DH Covid has been my existence for a year too. It’s meant not having a bubble. It’s tough isn’t it?

yes my bubble now is just DH and DS as the rest of my family in other countries. V tough as they have Zoom calls all day and understandably want quiet in the evening, while I want someone to chat to. Going to pick myself up off the sofa and try to go out now. Thanks, Agnes.
