My 81 year old mum is the worry.... she is partially disabled and the self isolation bit is doing her head in. Video calling her every day and sometimes several times a day, but it isn't doing very much good. A neighbour of hers of similar age insists on going out shopping everyday as "she's too old to care."
I can't see any decent outcome here at all


I get where she is coming from. At the age she is, she will know she is going to die of something and it's likely to be sooner rather than later, so she's possibly made that choice.

Trouble is, she is visiting her neighbours and ignoring the isolation advice completely. I get her choice but she's ignoring the effect on others......
They don’t have to let her in.
So are making choices that suit them.
We might not like it but that’s the way that generation are.
My dad made some bad choices but he knew he was dying so it’s very hard to try and change their behaviour.
All you can do is keep contacting her.
Best of luck.

Delivered the village parish news earlier. It is essential as it has information for vulnerable households regarding help that's available. It was weird as village very quiet but also felt weirdly vulnerable walking round the houses. All our walks are straight into the fields usually. Wore gloves and was going fine until I was just about to open a letter box when the homeowner opened the door. We both jumped back in a panic and he blurted "chuck it on the mat"! Got home, disposed of gloves and sanitised, washed and sanitised hands again for good measure.

Everyone please get tested !!!

The UK is taking the coronavirus seriously:

New testing is now being conducted without the need to leave your house, so no hospital visit necessary.

All you have to do is mail your stool sample to:

Testing Health - Faecal Covid (THFC)
White Hart Lane
Tottenham
London

ADDED NOTE:
Large samples give a more accurate result ??
Hope it doesn't hit the fan :eek::poop::poop::poop:

Self employed announcement made, very generous for most self employed businesses. 80% of profits of the last 3 years profits to a max of £2500 per months (provided under £50000 profits I think he said)

Delay in implementation probably about June time before funds arrived and HMRC to write to you.

SILH< your son has 4 weeks to get in his tax return, or he wouldn't be due it.

He did say < 50k profits.

Can't remember if he said average profits over 3 years.

Will wait for accountant to drop me a note. Hes more thorough than I am :ROFLMAO:

It seems very fair and reasonable. The chancellor is coming across as a very impressive operator.

The previous chancellor impressed me with morals when told to sack his people to keep his job

This guy has impressed me with how quickly he has taken the roll and just done what he can

Noticed his comment about leveling taxes though ...wonder what he actually meant eh
