I'm in Newcastle.
The rules are not to mix with anyone outside your household/bubble.
Now I live alone but have another friend who I've been bubbling up with.
Now this other friend (who lives alone with 2 kids) has asked me to go to the pub tonight.
Aibu to go?
As she lives alone but has been seeing other people who aren't in her household.
Is anyone even sticking to these rules ?
I'm safe ,I keep 2 metres
Wear a mask
Anti bac after ever shop/touch anything
Have Milton spray which I spray toilets/bus seats/toilet seats before I sit on them.
Aibu ?

I am genuinely sorry for your devastating loss, it is heartbreaking and I completely understand your need for support.

However, by breaking the rules you are directly contributing to the likelihood of other people losing loved ones in a similar way of Covid gets into care homes, hospitals, etc through people ignoring the rules and doing whatever they like. Please try and do the right thing to reduce the spread. Flouting the rules will lead to support bubbles being removed and more vulnerable people losing loved ones. It’s not the solution,

Decided against meeting.
We are having a face time later and a glass of wine.
Till things return to normal it's the best we can do.

YABU. It's difficult for everyone, but you're not the exception.

Flowers OP, I hope the chat and wine helps, I know it’s not the same as face to face though.
