Let's be truthfully honest !!! no judging,no bitchyness ,no arguments
a simple yes or no will do

1-Have you or your children started hugging your family members yet ?
2- Have you been inside someone's house?
Do you wear masks still and keep your distance if you are doing either of these?

I'm not a hugger, so no.

Yes. I've been in parents house and to some friends. I'm in long Covid and our entire household tested positive months ago. Since then parents, us and friends have been vaccinated.

I'm pretty sure I'm not going to either catch it or pass it on currently. (Have regular blood tests and have antibodies.)

Yes to both.

No and no

Started?

I never stopped

Yes and have been since December. Overnight stays, hugging, the lot. There’s no way I’m not hugging my family cos Boris says so - what kind of world is that? None of us have had Covid btw, and now we’ve all been vaccinated I’m even less bothered. Anyone who is still following this is bonkers.

My children have hugged the set of grandparents who live close enough to see within a day. I also haven’t restricted their closeness to their friends when playing. Not been inside anyone’s house.

Never really did hugs in the first place (except with my dc obviously) but I continued see my parents and in laws as normal throughout. Not been inside anyone else's house nor has anyone been inside mine just yet.

I hug my ds all the time ( same bubble). I've seen dsis3 once this year but haven't seen the others since last year at a funeral.

I haven't hugged anyone else since last summer

Yes and yes

I have been to my friend’s home to help her through her divorce and family court preparations with her abusive ex. I didn’t wear a mask, and neither did she.

I decided my friend’s sanity and supporting her and her 4 kids was more important. I am not in her bubble and she is not in mine.

Waiting for my second vaccine soon, and I only wear masks when I’m asked to.

As for hugging, I’ve never been a fan of this apart from close family. But I suppose if it was something I’d view as normal behaviour I’d probably be hugging again too.

Yes, I hugged my mum for the first time in a year. Outside. Haven’t repeated it. Feel huge guilt that I haven’t been allowed to help her care for my Dad in a horrible year. She’s been doing everything alone. Has been at breaking point several times. But doesn’t want to break the rules. She’s been vaccinated now. Still not going inside or hugging my Dad who is unwell.

No

@RaspberryCoulis

Yes and yes. Don't feel guilty about it in the slightest. Some things are more important than Covid.

Same here.

Yes to all but almost all of the people I've met with have had both doses of vaccine and so have I

Seeing child and grandchild now. This was allowed before but didn’t feel safe before our vaccinations. We all test before visits too.

No plans to see/hug anyone else for the foreseeable.

No, and no.
Last Autumn I helped an elderly relative move house, staying over and packing/unpacking. No one else did. It was essential care.

Yes and yes.

No. I go to work, I go to the supermarket once a week to do my shopping and one weekend a month I spend with my parents as they’re my single-person bubble. I moved here and started this job a week before we went into lockdown so I have no idea how to do anything differently yet.

One hug. and yes of course I have been inside..and certainly not with a mask! I am sure pretty much everyone is doing these things now...

No hugging, yes to visiting parents indoors.

Had my friends over for coffee inside for the first time in ages this week, my hips are too bad to walk at present and it was bloody freezing so sitting outside not a nice option.

I've reached my limit with restrictions on seeing friends and family indoors. I just can't do it any longer (we were tier 4 for Christmas). I've been vaccinated but I'll still comply with mask wearing and the other restrictions. We've had 0-2 daily cases in our local area for weeks.

no and no, nothing against the rules so far.

And yes, wearing masks indoors.

Social distancing outside when possible, but sometimes on walks etc, we are closer then 2m because the paths are narrow

Only my parents who are my support bubble as a single parent. They only come in when I need their assistance due to my physical disabilities so not often.

I don’t have family locally. So no. But have had one friend inside a week or so ago when I needed emotional support. I let dd have friends inside in the Easter hols. They’re all testing... and I know the tests aren’t that reliable. But rates according the the interactive map in my locality and neighbouring villages (where these people live) are “suppressed”. This means fewer than 3 per 100,000 but could be zero.

No and no.
