Guilt Free Railing 6

[WouldBeGood]

When will the railing end?!

I’ve been on it, not on it. Thankfully.

I won't cancel, it wouldn't be fair to her. She's self employed and has had very little help from the government the past year.
I know it will cheer me up having them done.
Thank god dh is quiet today, he's making me some lunch just now.
Trying to decide whether to take the baby's dummy away or not. Think it's causing more sleep problems that it's solving.

Personal whinge here.

I'm so fed up today, should be glad it's the weekend but nothing to look forward to. Friends all planning things with their families, I'm recently single so have no one to do an activity with and I'm just really fed up.

Oh, @dancemom that is rubbish 💐

Aw dancemom

If you've got a garden Could you invite couple friends round for drink in the sunshine after work? That's what I'm doing today

I don't unfortunately, was hoping one of my friends would organise something but they all have plans with family

I'm just feeling sorry for myself today but thank you both for the empathy

Oh dancemom. Don't feel bad about whinging. That does sound crap. Have some and .

And also to shouldistop! You know "this too will pass" but I don't blame you for having had enough. The sleepless nights just seem endless .

@dancemom that's rubbish!

My day out was bopped on the head my LO having a dicky tummy. He seems fine happily running about but don't want to venture too far from the loo.

@shouldistop It's probably no consolation at all but I was saying to DH that I barely remember the sleep deprivation that came from DD2. I know she was a bad sleeper but it didn't take long to leave it behind. 💐

Almost made it through the day. Going to pick ds1 up from nursery soon then we're going to have a picnic in the park and he can have a wee play and we'll just come home in time for baths & bed.

That sounds nice @shouldistop. Are your nails nice? I painted mine neutral with sparkly bits

Purple and sparkly, they got admiring comments from a couple of 4yo girls at the park

shouldistop, bet those admiring comments bucked you up no end!

dancemom oh that IS rubbish. I guess people want to see family first, then friends. But still.

We rashly invited DCs and partners over tomorrow. One is already double-booked (with things costing money), so we thought we'd reschedule to Sunday, but it's determined to rain on Sunday, and nobody much fancies sitting in the garage ...

@shouldistop result!

Railing against all lockdown bollocks.

I’ve decided not to go out anywhere until they stop promising to “keep me safe”. It’s too shite.

And the distancing rules the lunatic SG is proposing for hospitality will make it impossible for places to open anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

@WouldBeGood I was reading about what restaurants and cafes are required to do, it's got to be impossible

@dancemom yes. It’s just awful. How can businesses be expected to survive this?

I think many places won't be able to reopen due to size constraints and the costs of purchasing the required size of tables

I’m so downhearted

At the risk of going full PollyAnna I think fully articulating the implications of SD in this way might finally demolish the facade. The rules last Summer and beyond implied these table arrangements. Everyone just chose to employ a bit of cognitive dissonance. Bit like it being perfectly OK to take off your mask to eat and drink but not to walk about silently with your mouth shut. Even now Eng regulations require outside patrons to list their details individually. If they are all at the same table they need to be all the same HH (unless English pubs already have 2m distancing as suggested by SG guidance - they don't) so this is totally inconsistent.

They can impose as much nonsensical lunacy as they like but I am another one who would sooner stay home.

I'm fed up going on fb where the majority of my friends who live in England are out. Ds was 18 in October and still hasn't had his first drink out.

I can't believe the loos are still closed - ended up wasting £10 on a taxi home for a wee today in between kids hair cuts and a party as forgot no loos open.

I nearly knocked on friend's door and asked to borrow their convenience but realised this would be a step too far on the social faux pas!
