To be surprised they are doing this?

Or am I missing something?
As with me, my friend lives away from her new DP. They spent the first lockdown together but she travelled home when the new lockdown came into force. She lives about an hour away.
Today, she is posting on FB with her partner, a photo of them both in the kitchen making Christmas cake.
None of them are single households and it was definitely taken today.

It’s very obvious why we’re having > 20k cases and 500 deaths a day. And why some of us can’t go out at all. Arseholes.

I saw Goody Proctor mixing a bowl of currants.

Perfect response!

where is this op?

Is lockdown geting to you

What a sin! Report as soon as possible...hopefully you can make their lives a misery!

helpful link here to Bullshire Police....in case you want to report?...😀

Against the rules, yes. However I can’t imagine being in this situation, it must be really hard. Unable to see your partner for you don’t know how long. Forced separation. I can’t judge them really

To get through the next stage of this shit show I am firmly ignoring what others are doing.

Most of us are being sensible.

I mix with loads of households, its called work.

None of your biz!

You know what they say about curiosity....

I met with my mum today. I'm going to ring the police myself

I live an hour from my DP. I work on the frontline, he works from home. He’s going mad with the isolation, I need to relax and get away from everything at the weekends, so we continue to see each other then, have done all the way through this. We don’t see anyone else , both single households.

For the love of god hoist your fucking judgemental knickers as far as they can go and bore off.

Stupid rule keeping people in relationships apart. I'm always surprised how many people stuck to it for so long

I buy ALDI christmas cake, ice it and pass it off as my own.- Maybe that would work?

Loosely off topic.... do I still have time to make a Christmas cake or is it too late now? Always wanted to have a go!

OP, I would just let it be if I were you! It's a relatively minimal risk and it's something they have decided its worth it. You're correct in that it's not allowed but people are doing much worse

@draughtycatflap

I’d report them just for making Christmas cake. So passé.

Brilliant!

If you are that curious why not ask them directly rather than asking strangers on mumsnet who have no idea of your friend and her boyfriend's situations? 🤷‍♀️

I've always wanted to make Christmas cake and always always remembered "too late". You mean I can make it tomorrow??

Anyone have a recipe link or should I be less lazy and Google Stir up Sunday?

I think it's too late for christmas cake, but it's stir-up sunday tomorrow when christmas puddings are traditionally made :)

YABVVVVVVVU to post this outside the Coronavirus topic: tittle-tattle threads carrying out Saint Boris's snooping agenda should be quarantined there.

I surprised they left it this late to make a Christmas cake tbh.

Just wind your neck in, OP. That’s all you need to do.
