At last! 6 people can meet in a garden!

[BruceAndNosh]

WE can meet family

Dubious about the easing of the lockdown... we are heading for a second wave...

You know there will be families of 15plus mixing from Monday when the kids are back at school?

So I don't think 6 in a back garden is going to blow us up

All these people saying that 6 is a rubbish number....that there are 5 in their family or 6 or 4...so that’s rubbish that they can’t see anybody...
Question....are you all glued together?

If you WANTED to see family AND you want to stay safe, then there are ways you can do it! If you want to see DM & DF, and there are 5 in your family....perhaps your other half doesn’t go...to allow YOU and DC’s to see YOUR parents. Or if you have older children who can be left alone, then maybe just adults meet up for an hour.
Or with friends, take turns which of the kids come.
If you haven’t got a garden, meet in a public space.
And if it doesn’t work out just yet for your particular family/situation, then it doesn’t! Just look at it as it’s not safe for you & yours yet...and STAY SAFE. Stop moaning about it!

skyblu couldn’t agree more.

I’ve spent more than enough time with the people in my household and can’t wait to see up to 5 other people!

My friend died of Covid yesterday. She caught it in a London hospital as she had gone in for for treatment for underlying conditions. Don’t believe everything you read that there are zero cases in London etc. It is still dangerous especially for those with underlying conditions. Stay safe.

I'm sorry for you@Coffeeandbeans

Sadly this is where people ARE catching it. In medical settings.

If it wasn't for this we'd be a R 0.5

I am so terribly sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself f

Exactly this.

If there are 2 adults and 3 children you could, you know, not all be in the garden at the same time, or sit in two seperate groups in the park.

Nobody has said that things will go back to normal, so stop bloody whining about not being able to do exactly what suits your particular family.

Breaking news - life isn't always fair.

Thank you. It is very sad.

Our welsh rules are different, no limit to numbers but 2 families can meet outdoors but only with in a 5 mile radius. That’s fine for me as we all live close but 5 miles isn’t far, we still can’t drive to exercise thats my biggest bug bare, I love walking the dogs anywhere remotely flat, It’s very hilly where I live 🙈

Agree skyblu, I'm not sure if people genuinely can't imagine taking the kids to the grandparents and letting their OH stay at home, if thry just like to complain or if it's just a compulsive need to assume everything the Govt does is wrong and designed to personally upset them.

Were 5- DH, me, Ds5y and DT5m
If I wanted to see my sister I coukd just take the big one to meet up with her Ds3 (socially distanced) and then I could see her with DT. I'm sure neither of our partners have a massive need to see each other but if so they could meet up too, or they could bring their DS over once mine were in bed. Itss not perfect but it's a start

As it is I'm shielding DS5 so no change for us really

I live alone and have not left my house since the beginning of March. I am over 70 and have several medical conditions, so I have to self isolate. I have forgotten what it is like to speak to another person! It is very, very hard to keep positive. I would love to meet up with family in my garden!

Does Dominic Cummings have 6 people in his extended family!

Reply - Probably but would you admit to being related to that self centered Pratt?

Great news but I will find it hard to socially distance from my 18month granddaughter when she cry’s first me to pick her up 😢

YES can use toilet, BUT have to wash everything touched during toilet visit. So wash toilet seat flush ect, im assuming for ease use anti bac wipes using foot pedal bin NOT toilet to dispose. then use hand sanitiser and paper hand towels like had at school rather than using taps and towels, use paper towel to open door then dispose of paper towel in dustbin. this is only way I can see it working, or would be forever cleaning and washing!
