What date will household mixing likely be - England?

Just that really.
I expect it will be mixing outdoors first?
I have a birthday at beginning of April and I'm wondering if I can have people round.

After Easter maybe would be my guess.

God knows. They always seem to forget this when mentioning lockdown easing and focus on when cafes and pubs can open.

I don’t give a damn about the pubs, but I want to be able to have a cuppa with my mum in her house.

I would say July

So many other things will happen before this and I suspect they'll all be spaced our

I don’t think there’s much point looking ahead that far yet. Even if lockdown is relaxed soon, we’ve all experienced how quickly things are pulled back. Take each day, at the moment.

Schools
Non essential shops and outdoor exercise. Self catered holidays.

Cafes and restaurants outside only. Meeting others outside in public places (group of 6 max). Maybe socially distanced gyms

Meeting others outside in your garden (6max)

Cafes and restaurants inside (6 max). Places like centre parcs.

Pubs

Meeting others in houses.

That would be my guess of order with gaps between each stage. But it’s a total guess. Who knows?

I think May for groups outside. June for inside. I wish it would be sooner though

No one knows

If you look at a thread up the page, it looks like everyone us doing it now!

I don't care. It's my mums birthday next month and as we have just lost somebody very close I will be going to see her. Probably just the garden but who can say. We are at the point where we need the human contact. I've seen them three times in 12 months, twice due to our recent loss. I'm done

Telegraph is reporting Easter for either rule of 6 outdoors or 2 households. But in all honesty is anyone really going to wait that long? I have said we will see family and friends indoors from April it’s gone on long enough in my opinion. Also the second they open shops and Everyman and his dog can cram into primark and indoor shopping centres on a Saturday to me means it’s fine for me to see my friends and family indoors.
