Fully prepared to get flamed for this so I shall gird myself accordingly! But all the same I am uncertain of what I should do and am after some outside perspective.
I am working the 25th and then off work until the 30th. My original vague plan (pre announcement of rules etc.) was to drive home to my mother on Boxing day and then drive home again on the 29th. Obviously now that the rules have been announced this is not allowed.
Apart from the fact that it's a four hour drive and I don't particularly want to do an 8 hour round trip for one night etc. My mother has already had covid in October, I am getting twice weekly testing through work, I am not seeing anyone else over the festive period and neither is she. In my head - surely once I'm there in her house it's fairly irrelevant if I stay for 1 night or 3?
She is keen for me to stay until the 29th as we haven't seen each other since last christmas, I am little scared of breaking the rules but can't see why I shouldn't in this instance?
