How many people have you had in your house since we can?

We haven't had anyone into our house yet but have had family in our garden. My neighbour on the other hand has a steady stream of people every day. Different people usually with little children in tow. I know it’s not against the rules, but to me if this usual behaviour for most I’m not sure why masks or school bubbles will make a difference?

My DD had a friend in the garden. No one in the house yet but my DM is visiting us tomorrow and will come inside to use the loo and wash her hands etc. I think we will mostly sit in the garden though.

1 man to do my annual gas check

Mil , single person bubble. Daughter has come home to stay for a couple of weeks when Wales allowed travel. Her boyfriend (part of her household in Wales) has visited- no longer sure if that is strictly allowed or not as he is staying at his parents. But figure that as I don't go anywhere anyhow we will be ok.

Floralnomad · 15/07/2020 18:51

Actually through the door we’ve had 2 my adult ds and my sister ( ds lived with her during lockdown )

GoatsDoRome · 15/07/2020 18:55

Hmm.. 15? Of varying configurations. We’ve had friends and family stay, and have been to stay with family since the rules relaxed because working from home has meant they/we can be more flexible about where we are working. It’s been lovely to see my mum and dad as they live 4 hours away and I hadn’t seen them since Christmas! And god a bottle of wine and a curry with my best friend was just the best feeling of normalcy ever!

Kazzyhoward · 15/07/2020 19:08

None and we won't be any time soon.

Dontrainonmyparade · 15/07/2020 19:12

Only a plasterer. And he stayed in the room he’s working in. I stayed out of it. I’ve been in 1 other house, my sister in laws. Several times now, with kids. We are going to be sharing childcare between ourselves over summer but I’m not really mixing elsewhere except some outdoor catch ups.

TheFluffiestCat · 15/07/2020 19:17

DH's brother, who lives alone and is in a bubble with us, and two friends who came for a drink in the garden and needed a wee.

wendz86 · 15/07/2020 19:23

Only my mum and dad and my childrens dad. I am in a bubble with my parents.

Purpleartichoke · 15/07/2020 19:24

Just the housekeeper.

AltheaVestr1t · 15/07/2020 19:28

My house is on the market so I've lost count!

ginsparkles · 15/07/2020 19:29

My mum as she's in our bubble now. No one from outside our bubble.

Imissmoominmama · 15/07/2020 19:31

My dad and my uncle. I’ve had lots of people (at separate times) in the garden though.

SickOfNorthernExile · 15/07/2020 19:34

Grandmother
Mother
Sister and niece

I’m a single parent to a 3yo. Mental health was starting to slide after 12 weeks, so ....

Don’t SD with any of them. Impossible with a young child anyway.

jay55 · 15/07/2020 19:34

None but I've been to my dad's house.

Jenasaurus · 15/07/2020 19:36

My son and his dog come over every day as he is having his house rewired and he needs a place to work from home, so he is working in my lounge and I am working in my room, this will be for another 2 weeks while the work is finished. My eldest son has popped inside once too.

My DD lived here through lockdown but has moved in with her BF for a few weeks as he is going through a bereavement but she pops in on her way to work as her work is opposite my home. We are all socially distancing except the dog, he bounces around all of us bless him

BlusteryLake · 15/07/2020 19:38

Lots. One household at a time, though. My children have had playdates, one child at a time, most days since that has been allowed.

DominaShantotto · 15/07/2020 19:44

Builder and their son - who live next door anyway.

Friend's kids came for a playdate and mine have slept over at their house.

We're allowed - I refuse to make my kids and myself suffer any longer in hope of getting myself some MN staying the fuck at home badge.

theriverrunsdeep · 15/07/2020 19:49

None, but we don’t have any family so have a pretty quiet life at the best of times.

SengaStrawberry · 15/07/2020 19:52

Exactly.

Lindy2 · 15/07/2020 19:55

None at my house.

DH has been and seen his mum in her garden and I have seen my mum and brother in her garden.

I too have a neighbour who seems to now have a more active social life and house full of people than even before Coronavirus. She also clearly doesn't understand that social distancing should be 2 metres not 2cm.

MrsJonesAndMe · 15/07/2020 20:51

One for business reasons
