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

[Epigram]

The only thing in A I won't do is an overseas holiday. Hoping to go somewhere in the UK though.

[MarcelineMissouri]

A - if we’re allowed to do it I’m doing it.

[KatherineJaneway]

A

[Dancingalong]

A

[Footywife]

A for sure.

I've done everything I should so far, and I'll continue to do what I should.....but I'm not putting life on hold unnecessarily.

[Sallycinnamum]

A definitely.

[camsie]

B

[HairyToity]

B - but only as husband vulnerable, otherwise would be A.

[Tfoot75]

Mostly a, as in school ASAP, UK holiday if allowed, but will obviously stick to social distancing as its going to be an ongoing requirement as I understand it. They aren't mutually exclusive options!!!

[DamnYankee]

Somewhere between A and B.
After half of June has passed, probably B.
Kids go back sometime between 8/24 - 6/8
Not thrilled about the plan they have in place. Too restrictive, but I'll send them. Not requiring them to wear masks, at any rate, but not sure wheat "peer pressure" will be like.
However, it's fluid and depends how the summer goes.

[Rocksandstones]

A

[Beechview]

A/B. I don’t want to go on holiday. Maybe a weekend in the UK somewhere. I’m still a bit concerned about indoor crowds as that’s always been the danger.
So a bit anxious about schools (France closed so many schools within a week of opening) and shopping but I do go. And I will go to other shops as long as social distancing is maintained.

[Lynda07]

C for me.

I'm OK with things as they are at present.

[RoseMartha]

Probably more B

[Em3978]

Pretty much B, but that was mostly the plan for the year anyway. No holidays planned as we're building, i hate people anyway

[CatsAreLikeChocolates]

C - I work in the NHS and know what dying of this disease actually looks like. Besides, nothing has changed since January. There's still no vaccine, no treatments, and no cure.

[ThursdayLastWeek]

B.

I live in an area that hasn’t had the virus much yet but would normally have a lot of visitors.

I’ll be waiting to see how tourism effects where I live before I go totally happy go lucky.

[VictoriaBun]

C and if you had a D between those .
Not planning to visit non essential shops , and don't want a bubble of people either in my life.

[lljkk]

A. I will fully do everything we're allowed... but with the caveat that I don't want to do anything that feels completely abnormal. Like if the only way I can go to the shops is in a one way system wearing a face covering -- I'd rather not go at all. I'll end up avoiding as much shopping as possible until I shop that in a normal feeling way. Unless maybe I could get used to it by 2023 or so. Similarly, I can't imagine going on holiday because who wants to pay buckets of money to go somewhere feeling tense all the time about the socdistancing rules. I'd rather save my money for a much more relaxed trip in future.

I was never anxious about the virus, only distressed about my kids & society having a very damaged economic future.

Apparently we're now allowed to do anything we like as long as our "common sense" and "parenting instincts" tell us it's ok. So that's nice.

[rookiemere]

A although we're in Scotland so could be a slow road to being able to do things. Also our family thunk we have had it, which rightly or wrongly makes us a bit more cavalier in our approach.

[Ohffs66]

Sort of B/C. We can't afford to holiday abroad this year, and don't fancy a UK holiday / day trips as I think anywhere nice will be rammed and unpleasantly crowded given lots of people will stay here rather than go abroad! We will continue to shop once a weekish and buy whatever we can online. Our families are all 3+ hours away and we only see them once or twice a year anyway so no rush there to meet up. We are going to concentrate on just making our garden as nice as possible to spend time in and hope for nice weather. May see a small handful of friends at their / our home observing social distancing, will not be rushing out to pubs and restaurants even if allowed. Not nervous about the virus specifically but it's no great hardship to us to continue a kind of semi-lockdown for as long as we can so it seems to make sense for us personally. At some point one of us will physically have to return to work outside home but until that happens we will mostly stay put! The only thing we will make the most of is being able to drive a bit further to remote areas for dog walks, fed up with staying local (as is the dog!).

[PilatesPeach]

A and am hoping to get back to work - teaching fitness classes at various gyms & clubs. Am looking forward to getting back and getting some money coming in.

[Chrisinthemorning]

B with a bit of A.
Will continue to shop online and avoid busy places. We don’t need to shop except food and I like doing that online now.
Will send DS back to school if it opens for his year.
We have a couple of holidays booked that may or may not go ahead. Would probably rather rearrange if we can.
We’ll hopefully see friends for outdoor meet ups and go to the odd NT place.
So staying cautious and quiet but doing some fun things to keep us sane.

[Hanamuslim]

It's a toss between b and c.


I'd love to go out for walks and wander round empty fields etc. But tbh I am extremely cautious especially as am pregnant (1st trimester) Just trying to stay positive and optimistic and hoping for the best outcome for when this little one is due.

I am not seeing any friends or family either. But wish I could. I miss my older friend who I see more of like an aunt. I am in my early 30s and she being in her early 60s


I also have 4 other children ranging from the ages of 2 and 12. So obviously am putting them first also and staying home. Not going out at all unless it is for essential food shopping and post office.



Mu best wishes to everyone during the hard time ....hope you all manage to have a good summer holidays regardless

[lazylinguist]

Between A&B. I'm pretty sure I've had the virus and that dh and dc were either immune or had no symptoms. We're all fit and well with no underlying conditions. We'll do mostly A, but avoid the really busy places.
