Drop my children with my parents for a couple of days

BiteyShark · 10/05/2020 17:22

Dog groomers and walkers to go back to work. My dog looks like a woolly mammoth and he is missing his other doggy pals.

Surbitonsam · 10/05/2020 17:22

Just the dentists please 🙏🙏

Concerned7777 · 10/05/2020 17:23

@SomeoneElseEntirelyNow not lighthearted but still lovely x

To be able to train face to face (socially distanced) with my trainer. We always train outdoors no matter the weather, and being autistic I never had a lot of social contact anyway, but she was one of the few people I spoke to. (We do train online, buy it's not the same and i cant very bitch about my partner or neighbour while I'm in the garden)

I live 50 miles away from my mum and dad and it's never seemed very far before.

Now I feel guilty that I'm not close enough to be able to help with their shopping and have a quick chat and a wave like my siblings can.

So, being able to travel to see them, even if it was just to sit in the garden.

littlealexhorne · 10/05/2020 17:26

Dentists, GPs & vets back as normal personally, as me and DDog need them, but I can see it being a good while until the first especially is business as usual sadly.

On a more lighthearted note, I'd love for my local burger king to reopen its drivethrough

timeforawine · 10/05/2020 17:26

Nurseries open please :-)
If feeling generous then hairdressers too

HarrietOh · 10/05/2020 17:26

People who have spent the past 7 weeks completely alone being allowed to see another human!

FizzyPink · 10/05/2020 17:29

I’d like to go to the beach with my family and eat proper fish and chips. Although that maybe more than one wish Blush

Angel2702 · 10/05/2020 17:29

Seeing family definitely number one.

Failing that I’d settle to be able for my son to do some proper football training in the park.

HowFurloughCanYouGo · 10/05/2020 17:31

Routine appointments so I can finish this bloody nursing degree!

QuixoticQuokka · 10/05/2020 17:32

I'd like to be able to meet people from other households, maybe with groups limited to 10, at each other's homes or public spaces. So effectively people can make their own decisions who to see, just with restrictions on large gatherings. I'd also like it to be announced tonight that schools will reopen at least part time from after half term.

ABucketOfShells · 10/05/2020 17:32

Tips to reopen! Desperately needed.

Ifailed · 10/05/2020 17:32

Dentists didn't have to close, they are exempt in the legislation, likewise opticians, chiropody, chiropractors, osteopaths etc.

Bubblysqueak · 10/05/2020 17:32

I need my eyebrows fixing before I can go back to real life! I tried to sort them myself (usually get them treaded) and they really don't look good. Think they'll need a lot of work.

TheGirlWithAPrince · 10/05/2020 17:35

Housing and councils to start work again so i can move house and also beauty places... I need my caterpillars waxed and my ears pierced.

TheGirlWithAPrince · 10/05/2020 17:35

Also tips because i have so many boxed that need recycling

Gremlinpoop · 10/05/2020 17:36

Open the schools. I am happy to follow all rules and don't care if I ever see friends again. But I feel the children are going to suffer so much and it's not even them that are getting seriously ill. Maybe outside school with an influx of young healthy students to do some of the teaching. But please let them go back.

MyMagicStars · 10/05/2020 17:37

Dentists and more exercise restrictions lifted.

Justajot · 10/05/2020 17:38

Whilst I'd love to see my parents, I think that DD2, who is 5, being able to see her best friend would be my choice. Everyone else in our house can communicate with friends but she finds it hard and it is therefore much lonelier for her.

Iamclearlyamug · 10/05/2020 17:38

International flights sorted so I can be back with my fiance

Peaseblossom22 · 10/05/2020 17:39

Dentists are not shut because if restrictions they are shut because they are at very high risk ( looking in mouths) and have therefore decided as a profession that it is not safe to practice

cinammonbuns · 10/05/2020 17:39

I need a bloody eye test

Bigfishylittlefishy · 10/05/2020 17:40

Primary schools to reopen, failing that playgrounds.
Children’s mental health needs to be considered.
