Just that I'm wondering ? X

No one has any idea, honestly. It's just pure conjecture.

BeetrootRocks · 31/03/2020 15:10

I really really really hope they will say people can go to the pub for a bit if they restrict numbers etc

Can't see it happening though

LouQoo · 31/03/2020 15:12

I’m hoping we can drive out to the hills for a walk.

Although I intend to boycott Derbyshire, due to the behaviour of the police force.

Hormonecrazyhell · 31/03/2020 15:13

Hopefully a massive McDonald’s, a proper hair cut, a pint of coke & a game of pool, that’s my teenagers todo list as soon as safe

hopeishere · 31/03/2020 15:15

Go to the hairdressers!!

cologne4711 · 31/03/2020 15:18

Being able to see my mum.

Otherwise going to the hairdressers would probably be top of my list. And small group meetings to run (2/3 people, just so I don't have to run on my own which is really boring).

fartingsparkles · 31/03/2020 15:19

I would just be happy to see 1 friend for a bit. To be in the same room and chat (rather than on a video chat).

cologne4711 · 31/03/2020 15:19

Actually that was what I want to do rather than what I think will be allowed.

NeighbourPooNameChange · 31/03/2020 15:20

Hopefully shag 🤞🏼

Spanneroo · 31/03/2020 15:22

Travel to visit family is top priority for me.

SamSeabornforPresident · 31/03/2020 15:22

I'd really like to go for a coffee, or for brunch.

Poetryinaction · 31/03/2020 15:25

Meet friends. Go to the park. Go swimming. That's my wishlist.

TheEndIsBillNighy · 31/03/2020 15:25

Going for a meal with family and friends.

Can’t wait for the kids to be able to have friends over to play.

doublecheeseburgermediumfries · 31/03/2020 15:26

Move house!!! We completed on Friday (at a distance as per guidelines of course) but we are stuck in our flat for the foreseeable. Have to pay rent and mortgage this month 😩

We've not been back since we completed as it's "not essential", just feels like we haven't even bought a house! But id rather be stuck in the flat than do a house move and unknowingly infected any removal men or our parents!

minipie · 31/03/2020 15:27

I think one of the first things to be reopened will be the schools to allow parents to work properly and to limit the impact on children. Hope so anyway.

GP surgeries hopefully will re open too so that people will be able to get non emergency medical stuff dealt with. Garages to get cars fixed. Home maintenance perhaps.

I think adult social gatherings (parties, pubs, restaurants) will be last to come back. Can’t see beauty salons or gyms reopening soon either, too much physical proximity.

Maybe a lifting of the one outing a day rule but only if people show they can stick to 2m apart.

SingingSands · 31/03/2020 15:27

@LouQoo you intend to boycott an entire county? 😂

daisychain01 · 31/03/2020 15:29

Are you in biting a guessing game OP because that's all it can be. The people will take our unqualified fantasy wishlist and spread it round like fake news

daisychain01 · 31/03/2020 15:30

inviting that should say.

dollface19 · 31/03/2020 15:33

No I didn't mean what people wanted to do I meant what do you think will be allowed to do first ?
Like go visit immediate family or go to work
Or have 2 or more people In a group at a time. China have met some pupils back in schools and some restaurants are opening but only allowed 50% of capacity in at a time

@minipie GP surgeries are not closed - my GP DH is still going to work! (at least he says he is 🤔). They are not letting anyone just walk in, and are doing most appointments over the phone, but they will still see the occasional patient in person if absolutely necessary, and will do prescriptions and obvious advice on the phone if needed. Not ideal, but they are doing the best they can.

I hope that schools will reopen as one of the first things, but I suspect that may not actually be the case. DD is at nursery rather than school - does anyone think nurseries could reopen if the schools didn’t, eg. in the summer holidays?

dollface19 · 31/03/2020 15:33
  • sent some pupils back to school ! Sorry

CaptainWentworth, but that's for essential stuff. I'm currently shattered all the time because I'd let my Vitamin B injection go over due. I'm riding out a chest infection when I know I'd normally have antibiotics.

I desperately need an eye test, as well. That and hairdressers etc could be done with proper masks.

It's what we decide to risk as well as what's allowed. Unless we've had it, then we are all still at risk and the sheilding group will still have to sheild.

GreenWheat · 31/03/2020 15:45

Schools reopen, have friends over to my house, get a haircut, have my cleaning lady back. Not so fussed about using public transport again!

crazybutkind · 31/03/2020 15:48

My baby is due in June I hope she can meet her grandparents and have a cuddle it breaks my heart but I know it's all for the greater good

bloodywhitecat · 31/03/2020 15:58

Move my 3yr old fosterling on to their forever family. I will miss them hugely but it is right for them.
