I’m always testing, every couple of days I’ll do a lateral flow. I was testing daily the week leading up to the Decimal prem.
My dad has had the same thing and he got a negative PCR on Thurs/Fri.

Oh bloody hell mate. Same situation here, none of us have Facebook, but our nursery are pretty good at keeping everyone in the loop with emails.
Sorry that you had to go through all of that. I hope everyone is ok and recovered now. Has the situation calmed down for you a bit now?
Oh and my son has had this cold for 2 weeks too. Only in the last couple of days has he got any amount of energy and colour back in his skin. Still just wants to chill out and watch Wall-E/Postman Pat!
Ours binned their Facebook because so many people just don’t use it anymore. On an app called Famly now, which is amazing. Updates, photos, messages, everything straight away but only when it’s actually relevant to you.

Nurseries are just a pit of disease aren’t they. My sons face is permanently dripping.
I think in normal times I think this is actually a good thing to prep them for life. These days though it just makes life so uncertain that it’s fucking exhausting.

We’ve got a similar thing with ours.
Oh for sure! We had conjunctivitis cases in ours which spread round like wildfire, even my wife ended up getting it.

We were a couple of months late starting nursery because of lockdown so we were climbing the walls anyway, but it’s unimaginable thinking of it happening now.
Big up everybody who survived lockdown with actual active, needy kids.

Fuck knows but I was scuppered trying to cover 3 days when little man was sick for 7 days. Nightmare.
Mine was 14 months when it started, not sure if that counts.
Old enough to think “You what? I can’t do that stuff anymore?” for sure.
Oh right, yer, like Skateboarding, too fucking tired.
I mean just being aware of being able to go to the swings and shit. I dunno how you explain to a kid that the park (and the entire rest of outside) is closed.
Ah Okok. Yer I don’t think he was quite there at the start. You could distract him. If it got to that point again now, royally fucked.
Looking on my Google photos it’s showing what I was doing a year ago.
All we did for months on end was go out to a cemetery over and over again because it was the quietest, least populated green space near my house.
Having a child learning to walk in a world where we couldn’t go near anyone was… tough.
Moving out of a city was the best thing I’ve ever done. No doubt about it.

Unreal. After yesterday’s chat we went on the nursery FB this morning and they’ve posted that they’re struggling to keep the place open and asking to keep everyone home if possible.
No email or anything.
Mad scramble now.
Are you both self employed? If not, you should just be able to let your boss know you need the day off for child care. I know it feels shitty calling in. But at the end of the day, someone needs to look after the kid.

-19 degrees here today. Brutal. Never felt anything like it. My legs were cold, which is weird to say but it’s mad. I think we’ve all been out skating Christmas completes in a t shirt and been fine, but it’s so cold here you can’t walk the 5m to the car from your front door without needing gloves. Skin on my hands is completely dried out and fucked and I can’t even smoke a fag without my hands freezing into blocks. Rant over. For now. Might continue again in a bit.

Christmas party cancelled and have to work from home full time again. After such a shit year I didn’t quite realise how much I was looking forward to a party until they cancelled it.
