I know this is pure speculation, but any predictions about changes from next Monday?

Yes Paws, a heads up about schools would help many people’s sanity!

IncrediblySadToo · 06/05/2020 20:09

@pawsforawhile.

I've seen the government plan

Of course you have

imsooverthisdrama · 06/05/2020 20:10

@pawsforawhile tell us more ....

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:12

ok incrediblysad

you will find out soon enough. there are 5 phases and these are to be announced soon.

bye!

HouseTornado · 06/05/2020 20:13

@pawsforawhile I believe you!

I'd love a hint about schools if you're able to share.

Discobar · 06/05/2020 20:17

The minister said tonight on the briefing schools will be phased back, the schools will need notice to prepare the necessary protocols. Even if they reopen in June timetables will be anything but normal. A mix of class and home based learning for sure

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:21

its not june. schools are the last phase.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:23

yes schools phased back. but from phase 5. the last phase of relaxation of lock down.
the phases cover from may until august - so august is school hols anyway.

key workers children are the exception as they are now.

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 06/05/2020 20:23

What about hairdressers paws? I can’t go back to work with this mullet!

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:26

announcements imminent anyway . I think the government is being very sensible.

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:27

hairdressers late june.

frasersmummy · 06/05/2020 20:28

@pawsforawhile.

Either you are winding a lot of people up or you are stupidly putting your job at risk

Daffodil101 · 06/05/2020 20:29

But how can they open other things if schools are closed and therefore workers can’t return?

Mascotte · 06/05/2020 20:30

@Daffodil exactly! Schools need to go first

HavenDilemma · 06/05/2020 20:31

@Imrubbishatuserables I went to a garden centre today??

Discobar · 06/05/2020 20:32

Irish and French schools opening last iirc. Thanks@pawsforawhile - much appreciated

headachehair · 06/05/2020 20:34

@pawsforawhile are you sure you aren't reading the 5 step plan for Ireland.....? Coz it sounds exactly the same!

nellodee · 06/05/2020 20:35

My prediction is parks and playgrounds.

Themostwonderfultimeoftheyear · 06/05/2020 20:35

Am actual garden centre Haven or somewhere like B&Q with a garden bit attached?

Daffodil101 · 06/05/2020 20:35

I thought you worked in the police, paws?

You must be very high up if you’ve seen the government plan?

Senior NHS staff have t seen it.

Bluntness100 · 06/05/2020 20:36

But how can they open other things if schools are closed and therefore workers can’t return?

Exactly so clearly schools are going back, primary at least.

Anyone else want to bet that paws name changes on Sunday night when she’s proven wrong.

I’ll open a book..🤣

pawsforawhile · 06/05/2020 20:36

im sure.
but as someone pointed out I need to shut up now so I will be namechanging and wont be back on this thread.

lyralalala · 06/05/2020 20:36

There are a lot of people spouting off that they “know” because of a leak from Network Rail. Except the leak is Ireland’s plan. Even down to the mentions of “cocooning” rather than shielding

FedHimtoTigers1990 · 06/05/2020 20:37

I can’t wait to be able to go to our holiday lodge

This sort of thing fills me with dread!! I live in a tourist area with so many holiday homes, we have no cases here from what i know so far. People coming here right now could have a devastating effect. There are already people here in their holiday homes. Absolutely no consideration for others.

HavenDilemma · 06/05/2020 20:38

@Gatorgator I’m finding the social bubble idea stressful.
How would we choose?!

It must be so nice to have to worry about that! As some of us don't have that problem! I have zero friends and one family member besides my daughter....
