My daughter suffers with incontinence and gets supplied with Tena Pads through the NHS. We're in England so don't know if it's the same in Scotland. XI Believe.....
That it isn't always enough, to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself.
Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery
Today is a gift. That's why it is called the present.
happiness isn't achieved by getting extra things,
but by getting rid of the things that make you unhappy5 -
Thanks so much for explaining that so clearly.taka said:beanielou said:I mean it just makes me so angry.
In Scotland I have DS & my DM.
Technically if we meet we are breaking the law.
But we could go to the pub & meet Joe Random.
I could cry.
If my mum went to England to see her brother ( & SIL) technically she could not see her nephew who lives in the same area. 😕😕😕😕😕Are you in an enhanced household ("bubble") Beanie with either your Mum or DS & his other half? Are they in Scotland too? An enhanced household still = 1 household so can still meet up with another household at the same time.I live on my own and (with their agreement!) am in an "enhanced household" with my brother, his wife and their tiny human and as such we count as 1 household, even after the most recent changes in Scotland. This means we could all (including me) meet up with my SIL's parents and brother (who still lives at home with his parents) within the rules for example (6 adults from 2 households + 1 tiny human (under 12) since we live in Scotland)If you aren't part of an enhanced household we are still allowed to meed up with up to 4 households in a day (just only 2 households at a time).https://www.gov.scot/publications/coronavirus-covid-19-what-you-can-and-cannot-do/pages/seeing-friends-and-family/
Of course that may not help if DS is in one of the areas in Scotland with a stricter rules and rising number of cases or not in Scotland at the moment...
I don't think I am totally dim but I had not grasped that I am already in a bubble I could then have additional up to the magic 6.

No worries... It took me a silly amount of time checking out the scottish government rules to work out if we could still do a mini family excursion with tiny human or not! Glad it might help you too! Hopefully it makes seeing DS / your Mum a bit easier within the current rules.beanielou said:

You’re definitely not dim at all, the rules keep shifting and then with the news/media it is so hard to keep up with it all isn’t it.beanielou said:

It doesn’t help that the separate UK governments all have different rules. Why can’t they get together and make a collective decision, something that’s easy for us to understand?I get knocked down but I get up again (Chumbawamba, Tubthumping)5

No wonder we don’t know what we can and can’t do.......p.... up in a brewery comes to mind. If it wasn’t so serious it would be laughable 🙄😂😳January spends - £587.585

Good morning beanie - I'm with Kittenkirst and milann, things are mad - so difficult for you when you've got DS and your mum, a generation either side of you yourself to worry about, plus your own health issues. I'm glad that ebay link was a good one
