@StealthPolarBear

Nightclubs opening! I haven't been in twenty years but I might go this summer.
I feel like this too!
Lorieandrews · 22/02/2021 17:22

I’m group 4

I haven’t even heard about my first lot of vaccination yet

So I’ll believe it when I finally start to see it sadly

EggyBread4me · 22/02/2021 17:22

I feel so happy right now, feeling like cracking open the bubbly 😁

I don't know what I was expecting, but I certainly wasn't thinking he would give an end to (hopefully!) end all restrictions!!!

@TheGonnagle

I hope pool changing rooms open this time too. Don't fancy putting my costume on in my uber Grin.

Orangeblossom1977 · 22/02/2021 17:27

Our council run pool changing rooms have been open maybe it depends on the pool

They are saying all adults may be vaccinated by end of June as well so guess that ties in

Puzzledandpissedoff · 22/02/2021 17:27

For him to put a date thats only 16 weeks away, I feel the evidence on vaccine efficiency and transmission must be far better than we are being told so far

Possibly, yes - or maybe the realisation that we can't continue locking down has finally sunk in and they're just going to present it that way

therealteamdebbie · 22/02/2021 17:28

Hopefully people will surprise us and stick to the current rules for now

instead of acting like it's already over and mess up everything again.

It's difficult to be cheerful when Easter Holidays are already cancelled as no international travel allowed yet.

Just texted the hairdresser begging for a spot on 12th or any time day or night as soon as possible thereafter Grin

The air seems brighter. Fuck this shit.

AngryBananaSund · 22/02/2021 17:32

Already checking U.K. holidays, and just saw this

There is parking for one car, Wi-Fi and one friendly dog

is permitted.

ChevyCamaro · 22/02/2021 17:33

OMG. I can't wait to..meet my friends in the pub, see my siblings, have a birthday party, go to the cinema, go on holiday and swim in the sea, go to the gym...actually, better put the gym before the others as I have started to resemble Jabba the Hut!
I laughed at the wear underwear again comment! I switched to soft stretchy bras a year ago but that won't keep the girls in check when I go clubbing! Bring it on, all of it.

IEat · 22/02/2021 17:36

Proceed with caution

Your enthusiasm shines through, Bless you. I'm old and won't be clubbing ( maybe go to the the pub) but I can imagine that the 25 June will be manic in towns and cities! It'll be nice to see people happy again! Wearing their best clothes. Spending money and just being young and carefree. Let's hope it does happen.

Maybe the Uber won't like it either? Grin Different slant on rating your ride there, that's for sure. Uber drivers are officially workers now too aren't they, they have rights and stuff Grin
BlindMedusa · 22/02/2021 17:40

In all the excitement and day dreaming of being back to normal, I don't know if I missed it or it wasn't mentioned but is there any news on when Shielding will be ending?

rossclare · 22/02/2021 17:41

@Donoteatthekittens

And back into lockdown for autumn / winter. 👍🏻
Oh bugger off.
Goldieloxx · 22/02/2021 17:43

There are local elections in May, of course the PM wants positivity and for restrictions to be being lifted by then. I hope this time he listens to the scientists who are warning that too fast could result in 30k more deaths. We have the highest death rate per million in the world after all
