Moving forward - how do you see your summer?

[ifonly4]

A. You'll fully embrace the restrictions and do everything we're allowed, kids back to school, shopping trip soon, holiday, seeing as many friends as possible, people visisting your home (assuming we can do all of these)

B. A bit more cautious, carry on food shopping as you have been but avoid other shops unless essential, go out on walking trips with your family rather than join the crowds on a beach/a local beauty spot, would prefer to see friends outside for now, not sure what to think about kids going back to school/going on holiday

C. You're nervous and will only go out for essential trips and work, and won't see many friends/family for now

Just wondering how others see their summer:

I'm B

A

B here - I'm not vulnerable/shielding but have had pneumonia a few times in the past - it's been awful so don't want to risk getting Covid in case. Having said that I have to live my life. Luckily my DH and 18 year DD are on the same wavelength, in fact, I've been nagging DD to meet up for a distance chat with a friend (she has been working throughout so at least she's getting out).

A as there is no one in my household who is high risk. It would be different if I was living with someone vulnerable.

Between B and C.

A

AAAAAAAAAA

C I m asthmatic and pregnant so don't feel anywhere near ready to go near shops if they end up crowded with people, I m lucky that I ve be doing okay wfh and going for a quick walk every couple of days.

A mixed with a bit of B

Between A and B. Son is going back to specialist school on Monday and I work everyday. We live in a seaside area so will be at the beach a lot but I know where the quiet areas are, won't go to the tourists beaches. Will see family if able but won't be going shopping (online only). We have a fairly outdoorsy summer with walking, beach and picnics anyway so don't see that be too different.

A apart from going away on holiday, the thought of sleeping in a strange bed just does not appeal .

Well, I would desperately love my DC to go back to school ASAP. Will visit any family we are allowed to, hate shopping and always have so wont be doing that (always order online anyway) would go to cinema/pub/restaurant etc as soon as allowed. Already doing trips out for picnics etc as now allowed, we are choosing quieter places but again that is what we would always do cause I hate busy places!

None of those , will still be shielding

B other than the DC will be going back to school as soon as they can. We'll be cautious in other areas so they can.

B I think. I don’t really go out a huge amount anyway, and I loathe crowded places, so I’m not going to be flocking to towns and beaches anytime soon.

A - I'll do whatever I'm allowed to do, but I'm not going to rush to crowded places any time soon. I can't wait for all the shops to be open again though, for my hairdresser to be open, beauty salon, etc. I'll probably wear a mask when I visit (as much for them as for me tbh), but I will definitely visit. We are low risk, but I don't really want us to get Covid and test whether we're in the 80% or not!

A 100%. I'm going to go and visit my mum in July anyway even if it's not allowed because it will have been 15 weeks by then. I can't put my life on hold for something that poses so little risk to all of us and she won't either.

We are supposed to be going on holiday in Autumn but I'll be rearranging so that things can get a bit more normal. Intending to go for a bit longer as well because we have more time to save.

I can't imagine I'll be rushing out to the non essential shops anytime soon, I do most of my clothes shopping online anyway because it's easier than dragging a toddler with me or waiting until the weekend.

The day they announce gyms can open I'll be down there like a shot and I can't wait.

A

Bit of A but mostly B.

B

A. None of us are vulnerable. I’m not hugely keen on the kids going back before September (as I have some concerns regarding protecting the vulnerable in society) but I know that they will want to see their friends so if it’s offered they will go.
Don’t fancy getting on crowded public transport/ going to any large scale events for a while but I would love the following : Grandparents to babysit , DH and I out to dinner, a UK holiday / or just a weekend!/ meeting up with family and friends at each other’s houses...

B

Probably A. I won't, and haven't, broken any restrictions and there is a lot I can't do very easily as almost always have two toddlers with me but I'm not scared personally of getting the virus and am happy to do whatever the easing of restrictions allows me to do.

C - DP is shielding and I'm pregnant

May do a bit of socially distanced meeting up outside but that's it

A

A quiet A, I'll do things but only if it's not crowded. I don't do crowds at the best of times and I'm quite attached to social distancing now.
