Only if you combine households for the rest of lockdown.
It's 'and' not 'n'.

Are you asking him to move in or visit? Move in, yes. Visit, no. If you've been tested I assume your still going out to work so there is no 'self isolating' happening either.

And not n.

Is it really necessary to correct OP’s spelling/grammar? Aside from anything, people in glass houses should not throw stones, @majesticallyawkward.

You're not your

If you’re going to correct grammar, make sure yours is perfect or you just look silly

I've resisted the urge so many time recently to ask why there is a noticable increase in posters who use letters instead of words, what's that all about?

Jesus, there's a special topic on MN for that sort of shite. And hasn't coronavirus taught people that actually, there's more important things to worry about in the world than petty shite like how people asking for help or advice on MN write their post. Pipe down.

OP - I think that you can, but it has to be for the rest of lockdown so be ready for it being a long term thing. It could be that your relationship was going that way anyway, so go for it.

Well that auto correct fail was awkward... 🤦‍♀️

But there is still no need to shorten words to single letters or numbers. Honestly it takes away from the whole post.

Point stop stands though, questions remain for the OP. If the boyfriend wants to isolate and OP is still going out to work then does he understand and accept that he won't be isolating?

I’m waiting for next week before I decide what to do, OP. I’m hoping they might signal some kind of plan which will involve combining two households as a closed loop. Doing this is going to be logistically tough for lots of people, but it would mean I could form an extended household with my partner and his housemates. I live on my own, so it would be nice to have a small group I could see in person...

If they don’t signal some kind of exit plan (even if it includes an extension) next week I might go slightly crazy...

But neither of you need to self isolate, or should be. You tested negative. He isn’t affected at all.

I think it's because so many people use mobile phones and it's easier to shorten words especially with tiny soft keyboard.

Nice that you thought twice before commenting, as said upthread there's so much more for people to worry about than perfect SPAG!

I don’t know what this means

@dollface19 you may find on Thurs the Government will announce the next phase of lockdown as well as some indication of what a relaxation of the lockdown might include. They'll probably go with the idea of selecting a small number of close family/ loved ones that people can resume contact with, so that could include you and your boy friend being able to share a household. It may or may not include him going back and forth to his family's house if they have extended contact with others as that starts to increase the risk of cross infection. If they're really careful it could be fine.

A lot of common sense will be needed the more the lock down relaxes!

I think the problem is it's a new relationship.
No way should you be moving in together if you have a child!

That explanation doesn't really old water though daisy why when posters can clearly type out long sentences with all the letters in the long words would the letters in the short words be a problem?

I suspect I'm quite a bit older than you but I'm typing this on a phone and genuinely don't get the issue with the short words. I'm not expecting you to be a spokesperson for everyone who types n and ur and r etc but as I've come across this thread it reminded me of something I've wondered about recently.

It’s far too soon to be moving your boyfriend into your child’s home.

"They'll probably go with the idea of selecting a small number of close family/ loved ones that people can resume contact with"

How do you know the government's probable plans?
