  • Note from MNHQ: We've edited the title to make it clear the OP's posting about the Isle of Man only. The original title said: Out of Lockdown! Ends today (and was getting a few people's hopes up)

Makes me hopeful we're one step closer to it ourselves

Same Smile

Great news OP!

Hopeitsallok · 01/02/2021 16:09

Absolutely brilliant news, I’m really happy for you 😀 What are you going to do first?

Updatemate · 01/02/2021 16:09

Yay!!!!!

PricklesAndSpikes · 01/02/2021 16:09

Interesting first post, are you the same person from the other day who had already picked her outfit out and was planning on going on an all day drinking session...? That thread went well. I suspect this one will go the same way! Grin

Good news OP, enjoy, this does give me a boost and hope so thank you.
Hopefully this time next year we will all be free :)

You jammy things! Have fun, and raise a glass to the rest of us when you get to the pub.

GoodbyeH · 01/02/2021 16:14

🥳

DumplingsAndStew · 01/02/2021 16:14

That's brilliant news.

Ignore all the jealous and bitter responses.

VinylDetective · 01/02/2021 16:17

Really good news. It makes the future look a bit brighter for us all.

Goodbye2020Hello2021 · 01/02/2021 16:17

Thread title should read 'ISLE OF MAN out of lockdown today'...
I thought wtf for a split second there.

Enjoy normality OP!

PeanutButtaCups · 01/02/2021 16:18

Brilliant news!!

Iknowwhatudidlastsummer · 01/02/2021 16:18

As long as you go to the hairdresser, meet friends and make the most of it, gloat away!

If you end up staying home doing nothing, shame on you

Ch3rish · 01/02/2021 16:19

@organisedmother

So not looking for a congrats r u... ur looking for people to be jealous as most are still suffering in lockdown, this is kinda sick! u should of sent this to your Isle of Man pals for a celebration
Goodness, chippy or what?

Can a person not be happy that the place they live is now out of lockdown? Unless the OP is in charge of the IOM covid strategy she's not gloating or taking any credit or looking for plaudits.

Will you still keep your hairshirt on @organisedmother if the UK is out of lockdown before other countries? What an odd reaction.

CountessFrog · 01/02/2021 16:20

It’s brilliant news isn’t it? I’m happy for them!

Brunt0n · 01/02/2021 16:22

The only time the Isle Of Man has something to be jealous of 😁

frozendaisy · 01/02/2021 16:22

Does it mean no masks? Grin

LizFlowers · 01/02/2021 16:23

Excellent!

4pence · 01/02/2021 16:24

More happy if Isle of Woman out of lockdown

Bloodybridget · 01/02/2021 16:25

Humble apologies @sticksandbones! I did know IoM has its own government, just being lazy!

Aimee1987 · 01/02/2021 16:26

Yay must be amazing OP.
Hope you enjoy a nice pub lunch and a hug with someone you love

ResIpsaLoquiturInterAlia · 01/02/2021 16:26

Congratulations Isle of Man!

Well done and much respect!

Mainland Britain won’t be there for much much longer especially because of the daily new variants like the American Los Angeles one reported today. We evidently have too many Covidiots as testament to all daily reported police civic Covid criminality including a recent large multi household boat party in London despite the local widespread South African variants etc etc. Too many illegal parties through the UK these days as possibly due to public minority Covid fatigue and selfish entitlement freedom being more important than any civic duty of care to protect others especially the less health privilege.

LadyCatStark · 01/02/2021 16:26

Enjoy!

Chicchicchicchiclana · 01/02/2021 16:27

I'm sure the op didn't mean to do a click baity title and it just slipped her mind to put Isle of Man in the thread title.

Fwiw I thought they were out of lock down all along! That guy who went over on his jet ski got sent packing, I thought, because they were free of the virus. And I seem to remember some builders from the mainland being arrested for buying sandwiches in Tesco.
