Six different households rule of six

Just wondering how people are feeling about outdoor socially distanced meet ups with six people from different households? Is everyone now doing this or are some people remaining more cautious and just meeting one or two other people from other households under the rule of six? Trying to weigh up an invitation I’ve received as it still feels a bit out of my comfort zone but am I being over cautious? No vulnerabilities in our family.

My teens have both done lots of multiple household meetups (not just with people they see at school). This is the closest for ages that they've been able to socialise in a vaguely normal way.

I'd have no issues with meeting up outside with 5 others from different households (haven't done yet, because of the makeup of friendship groups). However, I would be wary of moving to 6 different households inside straight away, once we get to that stage.

Yes, I have. And am so relieved to be able to do so again!

I’m confused! So can I meet 5 mums after school drop off and that’sok?

@Foxhasbigsocks Yes. As long as you are socially distanced and outside....

Yep had 5 friends round yesterday afternoon for a gin and a girly gossip. Although I did get dh to come out and cook us some food on the BBQ so technically was 7 of us at 1 point but he was tucked away in the corner and banished back indoors once he had fed us all. We ended up with blankets round us and fire pit going to keep warm but it was one of the best day/night we've all had in a long time and did my general mood the world of good Smile

I sat with my 5 friends in the garden on Friday night for 3 hours. No qualms whatsoever.

I'm happy to sit with 50 different people!

Thanks everyone for your replies. It seems like most people are comfortable with this and I was being a bit over cautious.
