Just in case she got lucky and is in the one school that still goes to the pub.

Thank you @HarrietDVane I know I'm not the only one but I'm exhausted and I want a mum hug!
I bought some aperol today so it's not all bad.

KnowingMeKnowingYule · 19/12/2020 18:44

Shit I don't know what to do. Feel like I'm going to fall apart. Due to see DS tomorrow- who knows now? I don't think DH and I will be able to cope mentally with going back to school if we can't see DS.. Fucking hate this.

TheHoneyBadger · 19/12/2020 18:44

ooh I have some fizz in the fridge - cocktails MrsHP?

Very fortunate to still be in tier 2 here.

And in Tier 4, women are again being forced to exercise in the dark. Rules made by men.

Piggyinblankets · 19/12/2020 18:45

Oh!! Golf!!! Thank fuck for that.

Piggyinblankets · 19/12/2020 18:46

Women do play golf...lots actually.

Not me, obvs. I hate it but it gets his lordship out of the house..

MrsChristmasHamlet · 19/12/2020 18:47

I think mum would give up if golf was banned. Although she does have a full sized pool table in the garage for those rainy days 🤣

The main Corona board is MENTAL .

MrsH

Christmas 24 hour teacher thread? there’ll be a few of us apparently. And gin. And I’m going to have a really long bath on Xmas day, with bubbles. Maybe a nap. A shit, unchallenging detective book. Etc etc.

MrsChristmasHamlet · 19/12/2020 18:50

Yes please smile
Need to decide what to eat and actually buy it!

MsAwesomeReindeer · 19/12/2020 18:51

MrsH Flowers It's completely shit. I wish you could have your mum hug, it's been such a long and rubbish term, and that's been the light at the end of the tunnel for so many people.

Knowingyule I really, really hope you can still see your DS. I know it breaks all of your hearts whenever you can't see him.

starrynight19 · 19/12/2020 18:51

I guess so many of us had accepted we wouldn’t be mixing much / at all so we already had our heads around it.
Seems it was ok for us to not see our family’s so kids could be in school but now the shoe is on the other foot people are going crazy.

Ooh! What is your most favourite thing to eat ever?

KnowingMeKnowingYule · 19/12/2020 18:53

@MsAwesomeReindeer thank you Thanks

So many tears here atm

Piggyinblankets · 19/12/2020 18:53

I was just thinking that really starry. Everyone else is now having t do the Great Sacrifice.

If I worked in hospitality I'd be so fuming about constantly shutting down to keep kids in school, must say. Hospitality makes a huge contribution to the economy.

Oh love... :(

What’s your situation re DS? Can it be a support bubble thing?

MrsChristmasHamlet · 19/12/2020 18:55

I do love fondue... can I eat a whole one?! of course I can

Piggyinblankets · 19/12/2020 18:56

Gov ploughing ahead with youth team sport. They are genuinely mad.

I just don't know..
KnowingMeKnowingYule · 19/12/2020 18:58

In the last national lockdown we were told we couldn't see him but this isn't a national lockdown or is it? I just don't know. Thank you for all being lovely though x

MrsChristmasHamlet · 19/12/2020 18:59

@KnowingMeKnowingYule I'm so sorry. It makes my woes pale into comparison. I think it would all feel much better if we'd not been in the firing line for such a long time

SmileEachDay · 19/12/2020 19:06

KnowingMeKnowingYule

Are you in a caring role?
Are you or he a single adult in the household?
Are you or he vulnerable?

If you can say yes to any of them, you can be a support bubble.
