I've no idea what the guidelines are but I can tell you're obviously upset about it as any parent would be if it affected their child Does age not play a factor even with underlying health problems?

Sadly, we're all at risk of catching this regardless of whether we've been out socialising or not. Even going to the shops for food is a risk at the moment especially with the queues of people in there which is why I really hope you get your delivery sorted. xx

Here's the guidance

Here's the CFS. Seems 5 is the critical number of where you're either worthy or not. there's now a note on there about it not being widely used under 65.  Not at all reassuring considering it has passed through government without that note.

I am a five I think.
I am not thinking about it.
Lalalala.............

Morning WB Did you manage to get some sleep and is your anxiety any better today? Keep posting won't you, I find bashing something out on the keyboard is quite therapeutic at times. I looked at the guidelines you posted and can imagine it's heartbreaking on both sides, for people on the front line having to make the decisions and people on the receiving end of them From my point of view I'd genuinely understand them choosing to give somebody younger than me a chance, but if it were my DC's I'd fight tooth and nail for them to have treatment. Luckily your DC's have a wonderful Mum to fight their corner. xx

Wannabe .... Have you heard anything yet about the food contribution that should be coming via the school for those in your situation?

Sent you an email with a email from Sainsbury’s x

Hi WF - thinking of you all.  I agree with the previous posters about stopping some of your bills if you can to sort out food and priority needs.  Are there any smaller local shops near you offering delivery?  It will be more expensive (hence stopping some other bills) but they tend to be better stocked then the supermarkets at the moment, at least around here so you might have a better chance of getting what you need.

Reading, quietly cheering on in the background, but have nothing constructive to add. Keep on keeping on, WF & Team Smalls.

Thank you 

School have pack lunches we can collect if needed. However I haven't taken that risk yet. I'm not saying I won't should I need to. But to be honest I've always provided them with lunch anyway so I don't think it makes much difference (if anything it's easier as they can have a bigger variety now they're at home or leftovers etc) 

We haven't left the house. Don't plan too at all unless its an absolute emergency. I guess in a way it's good I've learnt to spread the food between them/make something out of things that most others would bin. I still regularly make soup from peelings and happy to just make things up as I go.

My anxiety is still troubling. I'm still double dosing meds though and today I don't think it's as bad as yesterday. Yesterday was bad. 

I think the new advice for those in the really vunerable group is not to even go in the garden? But I think I might be wrong. I can't find clear instructions. Wonder if she would be okay to come in the garden? Staying away from the fence of course. 

Still haven't got through to sainsbugs. Thank you for that email beanie. I've been trying to contact them but it's impossible. 

Trying to keep some structure to school work. Although not be too hard on them. Its hard for them too.
