Household gatherings

[daffodil10]

As we trail towards the next deadline, truthfully are people sticking absolutely to the no household mixing etc? Or are people sneaking round to each other's for meals etc

I am sticking to it but only because my husband keeps me on the straight and narrow which is obviously the right thing to do. Just wondered?

Sticking to it as is everyone i know although we could find plenty of excuses. Meet friends one at a time to walk. Not even seeing my elderly relatives indoors. Teenager has had no social life for a year.

Sticking to the rules too. Moved into our house just over a year ago and have had a grand total of 2 visitors inside.

STOP MIXING HOUSEHOLDS YOU FUCKING SELFISH MORONS!

Ooh watch out - the caps lock is on!

Yes I am still completely following the rules. I am so angry at others who do as they please because they have decided they're special or 'had enough.' Well haven't we all.

I am sticking to it. I can't wait to be able to have a cuppa at my Nan's

My mum comes most days and we have Sunday lunch every week. She's my childcare and I know it's against the rules but I really can't see the difference between her looking after my toddler downstairs while I work upstairs and us having a cuppa together. She literally lives across the road, if we owned the land between we'd be one household. Plus I'm hugely pregnant and need support while DH works

Bent the rules a few times and will be again at the weekend.

Couldn't give a toss about this anymore.

All these people breaking the "rules", yet cases and deaths are plummeting.synergy they aren't killing granny after all

Maybe not synergy

Still sticking to the rules. Tomorrow tho I will pop to my parents to give my mum her mother's day present. I will not go in the house, I will stand socially distanced in her front garden.

Went to in laws for Sunday lunch last week. They live an hours drive away. But mil works with OH every day so they already see each other.

For those calling people selfish for meeting up yes it is selfish but guess what some of us, those of us who really aren’t at huge risk of Covid, are utterly over sacrificing for the greater good.
Peoples children have forgone a year of proper education, many people have lost an income, domestic violence has surged, self harm in children has surged, our children’s drs appointments have been pushed (save the nhs aka don’t use it), weddings cancelled, holidays non existent -all for those in high risk groups. We don’t get thanked, we get told to be grateful for our daily walk and to stop complaining because we can watch Netflix! We get rewarded by being vaccinated last with talk of further penalties and restrictions if we aren’t vaccinated.
And yes someone will come along and try and beat me with a long Covid stick shortly but quite frankly that risk is still not worth the year of hell many have been put through for the “greater good”. So rather than scorn us for giving in a few weeks towards the end, how about those being protected by other people’s sacrifices say thank you for what we’ve done/ or have not done to date for them!

I am 95% of the time, We’ve sat outside on pavement in front of my grans with hot chocolates for the kids, and had a few “we will be in the park at this time if you happened to be” to help the kids prior to going back to school. I can’t wait to be able to plan to guilt free meet up, outside is fine-then hopefully when it’s OK in peoples homes again will be lovely 😊

I am sticking to it.

I’m sticking to the rules. I haven’t even seen my elderly parents for a year, or my siblings. My young adult daughter lives abroad and the borders are closed and you can’t even get into the country.

We have met the same two friends on three separate occasions. All four of us isolated for two weeks before in each instance. That's all in a year. I've been furloughed since a year ago and my husband works from home. Shops etc are only when absolutely necessary like picking up prescriptions. We both have Health issues that make neither of us keen to catch it. Actively avoiding risks.

We’re still sticking to it, only having essential trades people come in my house, we’re not going into other’s houses.
We are meeting up with others in the park and during Feb half term we didn’t stay local to exercise.

I haven't mixed apart from childcare. But I might just to wind you up. Who do you think you are? Calm down.

This 10000%

We are sticking to the rules. I'm shocked so many aren't. Explains why on the few occasions either of us have popped round to mil's her first words are 'are you coming in?' She see neighbours and possibly hears friends not sticking to the rules and think its ok not to.

I am absolutely sticking to it!! I'm single, 57 years old and asthmatic...I'm also a teacher who hasn't stopped working throughout, so mixing daily with children who just love telling me how often they and their families are breaking rules and mixing freely!

I would never put my own family at risk by passing on any potential virus that my lovely class have passed on to me because of their parents selfish behaviour. So no, I'm not breaking any rules, and will probably carry on not seeing my own family until they've all been vaccinated because of this.

People are selfish. And others are paying the price for that unfortunately 🤷‍♀️ But I'll carry on teaching my class with good grace.

I have had nobody in my house since the Christmas lockdown, in fact apart from 1 visit to the bakers and 1 trip to get my vaccine I hadn’t left my house.
Since my vaccine I have visited my parents (also vaccinated) twice and gone inside.
My neighbour has a string of visitors, which gives me the rage. Rest of the street seem to be following the rules.

To add...I've had 22 in my 'bubble' all through, out of my class of 31. So almost a full class.

Hell no! And neither is anyone I know. What’s the point in staying away now?

STOP MIXING HOUSEHOLDS YOU FUCKING SELFISH MORONS!

No.
